Wait, will I have to repay again for a new version of final fantasy 14 v2? I don't mind a subscription fee for a new and improved version, but I am not paying another 50 bucks for a game that was intially incomplete and poorly made. I canceled my account awhile ago, so overall it's no difference for me. Problem is by then Star Wars will have been out for a year, and so will diablo 3. True some people will be bored and try something different, but I almost feel like I deserve a squaresoft gift certificate for buying such a shitty game intially.
There seems to be some confusion on their wording on that. I take "The full client will then go on sale at the start of 2013 for both PC and PlayStation 3." to mean that the retail package they're selling at that point for PC and the PS3 release will have the 'v2.0' client on the disc, so you don't have to update all the changes to the game via a patch. Prior to that release, I'm guessing the PC version will still be the "vanilla" one we all got suckered into last year.
But who knows, with how terribly SE had handled this game maybe they will have the gall to charge all users for the client again?
And you're right about the other pending game releases... we'll be a over a year into Star Wars, 9-12 months into Diablo 3, and Guild Wars 2 will be out by then too. Too little, too late has been the modus operandi of FF14 so far anyways, though.
Here's a concept screenshot SE released; this is what FXIV 2.0 is shooting for:
And concept art of one of the new areas:
Looks cool, but so did FFXIV a few years ago.
I hope for a clarification on the client because if I can update the old client I'll just go pick up a few copies that were in the "shitty" bin at my local Gamestop for 8 bucks. Sell the extra copies for half the price of v2.0 or more.
That UI!
Lol at UI. That should be an easy fix in the future.
Game looks VERY VERY FF tactics/FF12 styled. Maybe they had that team work on it (which isn't a bad thing). I am also going to assume the game will be more FF11ish and cookie cutter MMO, which is probably for the best. I'll keep an open mind and wait patiently. Either way, I deserve a gift certificate from Square, or a digital BJ from a FF heroine. It's only fair.
Lmao @ the terminator screenshot.
I just wanna be the first person to say this now.
FUCK DAT SHIT!
Assuming PSO2 is out by then, I'm sure this will go largely unnoticed by a number of us. I'm still surprised their shareholders went along with this even with the restructuring. I hope they get it right this time.
