Final FFXI Update Ideas For SE

Which is exactly why it worries me that XIV has such an earlier than expected release date.

I'm completely terrified.

At least blizzard had the sense to go by the "it's done when it's done" policy. Remember when SC2 was originally expected for release around November of last year? I have no doubt those extra 8 months contributed to the quality of the game.

It'll have bugs no doubt, but SE tested the water with XI so they'll have a benchmark set for in game balance and other obvious patches. Ie: We won't be able to MPK like we could in XI on release. They learnt from that.

If I had to guess, September 30th is the last day of 3rd quarter. It's possible they have internal business pressure to deliver then, so the parent company can write down FF14 pre-sales and Day 1 purchases as Q3 income.

If you look at game industry release dates, a lot of them come suspiciously right before the end of a fiscal quarter. (Or more commonly, right before Christmas.)

and time necessary for making quality/stable software.

I think SE was hit hard by cultural differences in FF XI.

fix some game mechanics that have been needed fixing since day 1. spell locks... annoying as hell

loseing TP becuse your "too far"

input overload. when you put in many cammands they seem to congest causeing alot of input to just be ingored. and requireing to hit the macro agan. (example) trying to weaponskill right after a range attack. or range attack right after a weaponskill. also the not being able to use any abilitys after useing an items will fallow under this

invisable wall spots in the game... you know the ones im talking about. particulerly in xarcabard... makes dyna a pain in the but some times becuse one tiny 2 inch cliff your mage pulls hate and the mob is too far for the tank to voke it or get to it in a timely manor.

make range weaponskills work for the same distance you can range attack at!

also the big one that bothers my main job in particuler. the not getting the right drain from my drain samba wile footworks is up. only getting drains for the H2H delay and not the footwork delay

work on these fixes. and ill be more then happy

I don't know... if all we are leveling 99 for is to do Abyssea type events seems rather pointless. I can see another expansion with another continent and brand new areas.
