Dunno why everyone is complaining, we just had a major patch a few months ago. Really I'm surprised they did one so soon after.

That, and the expansion is coming really soon...I know that I sure wasn't expecting a huge update with tons of new content.

Im not saying we didnt get alot here. Im saying that the patch is just fooling people.


Yes we got dynamis, however, look at it. We now have to cut our dynamis entries into 18 people from the orginal 64.

Yes we got a new BCNM, but we have to finish all of CoP and RoZ missions. Also we have to finish the Bahamut BCNM.

Its like everything Square gives us comes at some giant cost. We have worked bloody hard enough in this game and its time Square started treating us that way. Where are our new cool easily to get to dungons? Where are the events I can take my whole linkshell on? Where are the things I can just jump in and do for a little then log off?

Where are the fixes?

there is a hydra set for fellow... do you think maybe the new dynamis is Fellow-friendly? (also explain why only 18 people) *probably not*

There was an interesting interview once with Sage Sundi in which someone asked why FFXI is not at all for thew casual player. He replied soemthing along the lines that the designers don't like to make "consumable content." IE soon as its available people race to do it, complete it, then never touc it again. From SEs perspective that's not a good thing, despite players likeing it heehee.

Pretty much they spend a lot of time trying to keep us entertained and believing that the game has a lot of content. When really its just having us do the same thing over and over again, or makingh us do something most of the playerbase had neglected.

Maybe it has something to do with ps2ls memory and other system limits. Maybe it has to do with Japanese sentiment or culture. Kinda the "been there done that" attitude they want harder challanges for those super hard core players. Not really the lazy american "I want exp for not even leaving the city" attitude lol.

I think lowering attendance limits, making time constraints, creating time sinks of a different nature (npc for example) is SEls attempt to appeal more to the casual crowd but still be "hard core" I don't know.

There's a lot of possible reasons and explanations, personally being one of those lazy Americans I have to sway towards Yarr's opions too.

NPC and limbus are the only good thing that happened to FFXI in the last years. I know lot of people hated npc, but I think it was well executed in overall and added a lot to the game.
