...when they announced FFXIV? It totally killed FFXI for me. What I mean is it made me feel like anything I would achieve or accomplish would really be for nothing considering I know that I will switch to XIV the day it his the shelves.
Well, my thing is, I still enjoy playing FFXI, so even if I switch over and never touch FFXI again, that's still a year's worth of entertainment I'm losing out on.
Nope.
didnt lose interest at all. and I'm guessing FFXIV will turn into a wow ripoff so that makes me less excited. Ludoggy said: Nope. didnt lose interest at all. ^This. I'm not giving up FFXI for FFXIV, not unless all my friends move...I play FFXI more for the friendships then the actual game lol TBH, I'm really hoping my friends don't move...I'm done with the MMO thing after FFXI has run it's course for me. Instantaniously lost any interest in returning to FFXI. >_> Hopefully it's done right.
not going to happen anytime soonsih -.- just got into this game!

Dood f???? SE they released camp body 1year after the release of the other piece
>.> I kinda lost interest in achieving anything big in FFXI (relic/usu gear) so yes it did kinda kill it for me but until then I will enjoy it I lost a bit of interest actually when summer hit. My siblings were out of school and I had other things to do and movies started coming out in theaters and me being a geeky fangirl of sorts, I fell in love with stalking fandoms >.> (/coughstartrekmovie) so I was distracted and when you havent played ff11 for a day or two you start losing the will to log in.
I supposed ff14 being announced didnt help much but I blame star trek solely. Its a faze though Im sure, as soon as I get bored squeeling I usually log back in..except now my ff11 computer is busted and I have to wait for it to get fixed. Shiva.Artemicion

I think anyone who gets into an MMO has to accept this fact the moment they create an account. There is no game over, no reset button, no staff/credit roll. The game simply goes on until service is shut down or you say you've had enough. But frankly I'm still having fun, I still enjoy the game and there are still many things I want to do and accomplish regardless of whether or not it'll be meaningless or not or come to a sudden end a few years from now. if my brother and some of my friend move to FFXIV,i will go too.
About 90% gear i want already been archieved, maybe FFXI will be the last MMORPG for me. Pandemonium.Luignata
As a matter of fact... yes, I did lose interest.
I don't have time for two massive MMORPG's. I believe FFXI has run it's course, and the only way to continue on would be to take up FFXIV. Not much point in continuing FFXI when it's all going to be for naught. Rikhu said: if my brother and some of my friend move to FFXIV,i will go too.

My main hope is that my ls doesn't fall apart and that my friends don't all leave. I <3 my ls and my friends!

I <3 my ls and my friends! we can still be friends =P lol aww thanks Rieyuu. I'll stay friends with any of them for as long as they all want, just don't want to lose contact over a game switch is all.
yeah can't say I'm excited for 14 to come out -.- might make nm camping easier though =P

Bartimaeus said: I don't get the whole "well a new mmo is out so everything we're doing is for nothing" attitude. - New MMO's come out all the time. - We knew this one WOULD be coming out, and people still played xi. Essentially anything you do in ANY game is for nothing, if you're looking for a materialistic profit. I'll stick with xi until I'VE done everything. /shrug Talk to people who still play Everquest I and those who play Everquest II. Enough said.

Yea i've pretty much lost interest in the game. Not really because of 14, but mostly because i feel a lot more distant nowdays from my friends. Everyone's always too busy.

Was EQ2 just that much worse? I know people who swear by EQ2 and then people who say EQ1 is the better of the two. Difference in experience, what they want from a story line or MMO... Could be a lot of things. I don't see myself wanting to play FF XIV personally. XI is where I'll draw the line. Gilgamesh.Shadowchaser

I see no reason to start all over again with a new game when i still enjoy FFXI! All my friends and most of shell are not gonna start over
either we all figure when ppl leave for new game better for us less ppl to fight for NM's with less lag with the ppl gone so we are looking at it as a + and as long as ppl keep paying for FFXI it will keep going they are not gonna shut down a money maker just because a new game is out.

Caiyuo said: In this case I think the main apathy towards 11 is because everyone's expecting 14 to just be a much improved and overall better version of 11, so dealing with all the problems and shitty systems and mechanics of 11 isn't too appealing. The thing that gets me about it, though, is how many people think that FFXIV is just going to be a "new, improved FFXI", that FFXI was nothing but a big beta test for XIV, or that FFXI is broken in some way and they are eager to move on. For one thing, we don't really know how FFXIV is going to be...we've got a couple minutes of trailer and some really basic Q&A. FFXIV may be nothing like FFXI, and probably won't be. They may change the core game play so much, in trying to appeal to a broader crowd (which makes all the business sense in the world) that a lot of FFXI players may be alienated by FFXIV. People ready to bail on FFXI for the new one may be severely disappointed by the new offering. Look at FFVIII...Square (don't think they were SE yet then) wanted to try something completely different from their last installment, which was a ridiculously huge hit, and a LOT of people were not happy at all with the result. I was one of them (although, in retrospect, I think I was too harsh on the game, and want to give it another shot now that I've "matured" a bit, so to speak) And in the suggestion threads, so many people rant and rave how they don't want to play WoW, but so many suggestions are modified versions of things WoW does. SE, from a business standpoint, would be stupid to NOT incorporate those things that make WoW as popular as it is. I guarantee that it's gonna be geared more towards casual play...the only real press I've seen about FFXI lately is how that one LS fought PW for 18 hours straight, and the negative fallout from that. You think SE isn't going to look at that and say "Players don't like that, the general public doesn't like that, we're not doing that this time around"? Soloability in this new game is guaranteed as well. We want to be able to solo, it's obvious. SE added things like Campaign and FoV to give us some soloability in FFXI, but it obviously wasn't enough, so expect the new game to have soloing be a pretty core component. I don't necessarily agree with it; if you can solo, what's the point of joining parties at all, outside of raiding?. I mean, what, we just gonna get together once a week to do the new version of Dynamis and Salvage and spend the rest of our time grinding our levels on our own? Anyways, for the people that are just tired of FFXI and want something new, I totally understand. I just don't see what FFXIV has to do with it though. I mean, so many people are chomping at the bit to get the hell out of Vana'diel, I hear it in game how "tired people are of the *** grind" and "the same tired ***day after day"...if it sucks so bad why do you play FFXI at all? I wouldn't play a game that was free if it bored me to tears, let alone pay for it... Oh well...for those that dip out ASAP for the new game I hope they enjoy it. I'm just not gonna be too surprised if I see some people back in FFXI a few weeks later...and with a renewed appreciation for it, flaws and all. Xxnumbertwoxx said: Well put, good sir! |
