Cleared A8S over a month ago and I agree theres not much to do. The raiding patch lasts like a month for HC raiders and then theres nothing to do for like 6 months as the casual patch inbetween has content that gets cleared in a day and gets dry fast just like 3.3 will. One recycled hardmode dungeon and another new dungeon, all tank and spank with no actual new mechanics and really easy to clear which is so boring.
Dat DRG artwork heart emoticon I'm still not crazy about the game being yet another "flavor of the month" grindfest i.e. vertical progression, but the plot and lore have come a long way since 1.0. I'm a legacy member and FFXIV Gil glad to see that the game is doing so well, even if I disagree with parts of Yoshida's vision - XIV will never be what XI was, but then it doesn't have to be either.
I was in the beta and played the 're-make' of this game and im not impressed. Buy FFXIV Gil FFXI had depth and an amazing combat/teamwork system (until they ruined it by making dps of melee so high they hardly needed anything other than a healer)... FF14 is just a clone of other spam-click fantasy mmos wearing the FF skin. The storytelling /cinematics are great but the gameplay is below mediocre. Frankly SEnix should just launch FFXI again with updated graphics and pre-promathia mechanics (no super dps). Renkei I miss thee...
To be fair, I do like that combat in XIV is somewhat more simplified at least so far as there are no redundant skills (except for DRG's Wheeling Thrust & Claw and Fang, still waiting for a fix to that....) but mechanically XI is much more in-depth which is bizarre because it's essentially a tank and spank stack buffs and hit things sorta deal. Even so, I do miss things like skill chains and paying attention to what the enemies are doing as opposed to just "ERMAGERD STEP OUT OF TEH RED CIRCLEZ OR YOU DIE AND WIPE THE RUN!" Makes me a bit sad that XIV players (most anyway, some are XI vets) will never know the feeling of venturing into Promyvion for the 1st time with an alliance, struggling to get to the spire alive only to face a brutal boss. Man CoP was epic....
