Originally posted by ramadin Bah, he'll be back. You want an opinion you say? OK, for the 100th time, apparently you missed it somehow. The character customization sucks, the combat system blows, the mob variety... there is none, everyone looks the same, same armor, same weapons... no variety, the characters look too pansified, linkshells are a crappy version of guilds, people spend hours looking for a group, when you do get a group you cant group with anyone more than 1 lvl above or below you or it borks exp, sub jobs are retarded - Oh yay, I get to start all over killing the same worthless turtles for hours on end, cant get a group if no subjob, buffbots, lack of being able to own transportation, game is based way too much on farming and exp grinding. Im sure theres more but it gives me a headache.
Laying in bed, looking up at the stars, a single thought passed through my head. Where the fuck is my roof?
There is enough difference in armors and weapons at higher levels imo.
The combat system requires a certain amount of skill, so it can be to hard for some people.
It's a JP game ---> weird looking characters
Linkshells are a good replacement for guilds and you can join as many as you want.
I have yet to see a MMORPG that's not based on farming en grinding.
Yes there is some difference in armor and weapons, but not enough.
Im not talking about skill chains, Im talking about how it takes time to lock in a target, the movement, then you have to disengage if you need to switch targets, its just really clunky.
I know MMORPG's are about an exp grind. FFXI takes it WAY too far. Subjobs suck because I like to play 1 character. In EQ I played an enchanter for 3 years. I never had any other character, nor did I want one. I dont wanna start completely over in a game killing the same 3 mob types the game has. Its way too boring and time consuming.
But the main thing is lack of customization in general and lack of variety. Oh the controls are the most horrible I have ever seen in any MMORPG. And you CANT CUSTOMIZE them aside from 2 keyboard types. How retarded is that? (yes I know it was made for PS2, but most of us play on PC)

ah you played eq that is why you are this way lol j/k
Or you could just block ramadin posting on the FF thread..
for some one who doesn't like the game he spends all his time here telling us all over and over again his reason for not likeing the game... and its obvious he just wants EQ in a game, he regards it as flawed cos its FF not EQ, and thats what it comes down to. EQ was the first and will always be the best (apart from sonys crap customer service and the down time and.. .well lets not get into it).
FFXI is an FF mmorpg.. taking some of the best elements from the games, and throwing them into an mmorpg.. yeah some things are hard to get used to.. yeah its difficult.. I don't want an easy mmorpg...
I hate games that are too easy.. I mean when you rent something from blockbuster and beat it in a couple of hrs.. your so glad u didn't buy it cos it woulda been a waste of cash. This is a game thats u gotta play lots..
And ramadin.. you may have only played 1 character in EQ, and mb that was great for you.. but everyone i knew had at least 2.. and at least another couple of chars on differant servers too.
Nearly All the reason RAMADIN gives for not liking this game are all based on his opinion which is based on a comparriosn to EQ, and the way HE likes to play an mmorpg. He won't listen to or apreciate the fact that others like the game. He posts over and over that it sucks and that no one should buy it.. yet even when loads of us tell him to shut up about it cos we have heard it all from him before and that we like it he won't seem to accept the fact that we don't have the same mind an opinion as him and trys to thrust it upon us ungraciously.
Opinions are fine. You don't like it, fine... you have told us... now go find something better to do with your pathetic meaningless existance...

All my time? LOL Im a fast typer, it takes me maybe 2 minutes max to type a post. As for down time in EQ... funny, FF has TONS more downtime, its called "looking for a party" so lets not go there.

Why are subjobs retarded?
