Final Fantasy 14 is a joke...

[kyle382]

Ok, so im playin tha open beta for FF14 here and tryin to figure out what i was waiting for in the past few months. This game is absolutely terrible. The models, graphics and style are all beautiful, but they actual game is just sooo bad. I would love to elaborate on why combat, coding and limitations are all balls-ass suck, but I would rather hear you gentlemen's opinion.

Anyone else playing the beta? Having fun? if so, why?

 

[dalta centauri]

Thought you were going to say the games requirements are a joke.
People seemed to complain about it, I haven't tried the beta yet but the benchmark runs great.

 

[sirkillalot]

well maybe any game up to 14 is wearing thin
thoe the benchmark looked good

 

[LePhuronn]

Every Final Fanasty since 7 sucks balls - just one long CG clip after another with a tiny amount of interaction needed to just string them together.

I'm a little disappointed in anybody who thought it would be anything different.

 

[kyle382]

well I, for one, gentlemen have never played a final fantasy game. however I was told this one was to be the greatness. Yet hark alas it did fail heartily. They best delay release another year or be destroyed.

any other thoughts ?

Too harsh, you never played it then why and hope for it to never release?
Some people will enjoy it, newcomers may even feel like it's a great experiance.
So all in all, I liked the concept of the benchmark, and how everything looked. Of course, I won't buy the game though.

 

[kyle382]

well now, i did say i played the beta for a while just not the previous games in the series.

dare ye not alt+tab in this game gentlemen or a crash u shall recieve...

any other thoughts?

Complaining about performance issues in a beta client makes you look like a dumbass.

 

[kyle382]

i purposefully avoided going into detail about the performance issues gentlemen. Read the post mr. fulle.

Just wondering how you gentlemen's are receiving the game really. bi now.

 

[kyle382]

no not at all, I think games of this general theme are in dire need of graphical improvement, so that aspect was welcome. and just like any other game, if you own a computer made a few years ago, then just turn the graphics down a bit and it should not be a problem. thank u gentlemen for your response

This game is heavily dependant on your cpu and ram though. Doesn't it use all 4 cores if available?

 

[kyle382]

yep

the IGN FF14 preview just came out. The issue of needing a supercomputer to run the game on high settings did arise. Hopefully these issues will be addressed in the next 2 weeks.

and now ladies and gentlemen I would like to speak on the issue of jumping and flying in FF14....or lack thereof. I have been told that this is a feature of all final fantasy games. maybe you can get a pet later that lets you fly, but no jumping still does not jive with me.

Sure its annoying in Wow when everyone around u is jumping around like idiots all the time, but its more annoying to have to walk around a log that seems 5 inches of the ground. Your thoughts gentlemen?

 

[sockpirate]

These games rarely appeal to anyone who do not favor the genre. I played 11 , i actually played the hell out of 11 , i loved that game. If 14 is just as good i will be sated. Although if it is better, i will be quite pleased. I am just very happy that all the wow fanbois seem to hate 14 not seeing them in 14 because of that fanboism makes me even happier.

I also do think its quite funny when people freak out over a game when its in beta, if people know the trend of how 11 turned out they would not be complaining at all. But then again, people making informed decisions is usually asking far too much, but as i stated before , the people who write the game off wont be missed.

 

[kyle382]

o r they adding the ability to jump in the final release? ha jk, this is not the deal breaker for all of you gentlemen.

But yes I agree this game only appeals to ff "fanboys".

and pirate, we here ladies and gentlemen of this thread, are people interested in the games potential and discussing the beta progress...not just ranting.

 

[kyle382]

seriously though, I know that especially for you Final fantasy fans, complaining about jumping must seem like a joke, but to me its a huge part of the experience. Nobody else missing the ability to move vertically?

The beta was extremely well done, for a beta. I'm very excited for the full release.

How can you claim the game is balls, but never go into any further detail? This makes you appear to be an idiot. Please elaborate.

It is fine for what it is, hopefully they fix the many problems with it. These aren't big issues either so they should be fixed with no issues.

Some issues already stated:
Jumping(I really don't give a damn about jumping, people are complaining in custom starcraft games you can't jump too, there are games that just don't need it.)

Performance - Personally, I got weird framerate issues where it jumped at times that didn't look to be...demanding. If you say, "Oh, well get a better pc, yours must be ***" then tell me how a 5770 and an Athlon II quad @3.4GHz is too shitty.

 

[lun4tic]

The game is based on nVidia and Intel hardware.

There's no reason to jump in this game, so who cares?

For the first thing, that's a big problem then, and needs to be useful for both Nvidia and AMD users.
Speaking of which, Nvidia cards have problems with distance settings in the beta...so I don't actually believe it's better optimized for Nvidia cards.

The second, you said the same thing I just answered with. There's no need for jumping in games such as this.

 

[lun4tic]

SE purposefully optimized for i7 CPUs and nVidia graphics cards. It's marked as a TWIMTBP game. It runs fine for AMD, but it's optimized for Intel/nVidia.

 

[kyle382]

to say there is no need for jumping is completely your opinion and a shallow answer. Why don't you care about jumping or flying? Why do most rpg games include it?

Its of course not a critical thing for most people I just don't get why its not included as most humanoids can jump and the ones in this game can not. Just takes an element of realism out of it and to ME at least thats really important.

as for the nvidia, intel rambling, yes as stated in several other threads, severe graphical optimization must occur especially for nvidia cards. We look forward to seeing that in the final release.

no, thats just bad for business friend. They will optimize for both.

Ok, how can I explain this to you in a way that you'll understand? The game is currently optimized for Intel/nVidia hardware and drivers, it will not receive any optimizations for AMD. It may receive general optimzations that will benefit everybody, but not AMD players specifically.

I don't actually know of any RPGs where the player can jump. It's pointless and contributes nothing to the game itself. If you're so inclined to jump, forget about video games and buy a trampoline.
