FFXIV's 1.19 patch features new group content, Ifrit primal

Doesn't really cost anything to try.

They don't charge a montly fee and the box can be gotten for cheap so it's actually worth a try. The 'next year' you're talking about is still two months away.

That's nine bucks they don't deserve.

There games that have rough patches, and everyone has different taste. This game is a train wreck, don't be tricked by people praising this game (their probably PR agents for SE)

SE only "trying" to fix this game to sell the PS3 verision, to scam more players out of their money. The core of this apple is rotten, and can't be fixed.

@(Unverified) as much as I wish I could disagree with you, I just can't.

I got into the TOR beta back in march and while I cannot give details due to NDA, I am enjoying it and have it pre-ordered. That said... while I am enjoying TOR, the world... and all things in it... will cease to exist when GuildWars2 shows up.

I got FF14 at launch and honestly I was as disappointed as everyone else. I still log in from time to time and it is getting better than it was, but it's not going to be close to what is coming up soon. I *SERIOUSLY* want to dive headlong into TOR and experience those storylines more permanently (beta wipes being what they are) and being a GW fan I simply cannot wait for GW2. But FF14... once every blue moon I log in.. do a few leve's... and then I'm bored with it and log out. I never thought I'd see the day that I said that about a Final Fantasy game but here we are.

I REALLY wanted to love this game, but by this point I'm certain come Dec 20th it'll get wiped off the Harddrive never to return. A year ago they announced the desire to fix the game and the clock started ticking.... On December 20th, at least for me, time's up guys... time's up.

@(Unverified) The games coming next year caters to a different crowd. FFXIV is more for the slower paced gamers, that enjoy crafting having a meaning just as much as combat. GW2 and SWtOR don't offer that.

'no two handed swords..... no katanas....'

They do have to leave room for more classes at a later date, you know. ;)

Umm.. if they fix the game then they.. fix the game???

I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of this patch isn't it? To show people whats' fixed and what's improved?

Your logic is dizzying: Don't play the game because they are only trying to fix the game.

@(Unverified) That's ridiculously paranoid. I've plenty of good things to say about XIV (not ignoring its many problems). Doesn't make me a marketing shill. The servers aren't empty, you know. People believe in the game enough to stick it out this long, 1.19 is just the start of the payoff for their patience.

There is a lot of potential, the storylines are really interesting and the community is awesome. They're fixing the game, it's certainly well on its way.

@(Unverified) Oh, just give it a rest. We know this game will never reach expectations and it will continue to be a flawed game. It's a piece of crap, end of story. So, you can quit beating the dead horse. Well, I wish we could put the game out of it's misery and they could get started on something fresh with the new team.

@WesleyCrusherSweater Yes there is. You just buy the game for $20 bucks or even as low as $5 and play it for as long as you like.

@(Unverified) Have you lived in a box? If anything WoW took the bird mounts from FF not the way around. ;)

@Magnux Dragoooooooon!!! Oh man oh man. I guess this was worth the wait after all, but they really to roll out the patches faster, if it means less content per patch that's fine, but making us wait this long at this stage of the game isn't a good thing for anyone.
