Much of what has been dubbed as "interesting" and "great" in the run-up turns out to be. After a few hours of play as a gentle breeze
Installation:
+ Account creation without problems
+ First Patchees relatively small
~ Performence of the Patch Loader not just bomb, resort to such as RapidShare but possible (Google helps)
- Create unlock the 30 days free game awkward about Charslot areall (per Crystas)
Ingame configuration of the game ONLY via external tool possible, NOT -
- Payment system seems to me to rip off
Charerstellung:
+ Many races / classes
+ Detailed Characters
~ Choices (eg hairstyles) too low
~ Sun / Moon - Calendar (? Birth) and tutelary affects banana
- (And it's a very big minus) ONLY World Server, WWW lt is Lindblum unofficial dt Server, but is already nit longer be selected because overcrowded. So one looks for any server and is dealing only with English, Japanese and Chinese dishes ... Great, I imagine class in Endgame ago when one is dependent on TeamSpeak or the same. I mean I understand Englich, can I also express written limited, but that's ... Very frustrating ... Somehow I have sometimes heard of car-ferrying function ner, but the fox in question where that is because information in this game are more than scarce ... :(
First impressions:
- Upload, download and upload again
- Ruckel, Lagg and again ruckel
- Where is the tutorial?
- Who should I contact?
- What should be done at all?
- Questions, questions and general helplessness ...
- Pressed spacebar and to "help" demand response "lol wtf, hey you keep cool ...?" ... All right you are dealing with non-German players ... congratulations ...
Graphics:
Bomb + for DX9 conditions
+ Nice lighting and water effects
~ Graphics seem a bit "griselig"
- HUGE hardware requirements, so a Core i7 as "recommended" to scribble on the package is already fierce
- DX-error lead to crashes ... too many crashes
Sound:
~ Relatively banal, no comparison to the last FF Hymmnen
Control:
- Awkward in a word. One has the feeling, as is konsquent attempts to insert so many queries and waiting times as possible.
- Even with a gamepad to play FFXIV sluggish, that would be even called for on the PS3, I'm sure ...
- It is only the "click" through nested menus ... completely umlogisch and as I said ... Slowly, ever so ne waiting time of 1-2 seconds for each action ...
Gameplay:
- Charters (the Quest form here) are nonsense because:
- Too easy
- Done much too fast
- Scarce (initially gibbet exactly 4)
- 36h (!!!) waiting time to restart it
- Disconnect, crash, leaving area ect lead to termination and to point 4 ... (I have more than enough)
-> I am referring here to the "Battle Quests" because I simply crafting just more than boring find
- One has grazed the charters states Main Quest do (in my case, "The Treasure of the sea"; much Laber Laber and running around, NEN few mosquitoes tothaun, the wars), then grind, grind and again grind (Since you already looking forward like son little kid when talking about skin ne stupid rat found to abmurksen to frantically somehow EP zubekommen together)
- And here too many questions:
- What effect the attributes?
- Where can I get better gear? (Just so nen "arms dealer" as in any other RPG is nich)
- My equipment breaks down slowly, as I reparier the?
- How the hell do I get new quests?
- In my case, very "funny": As a pugilist NEN Arch bought (because you're also changing the class in FF XIV with the change of weapon) is like saying NEN seizure ever to find the right dealer, packed 300 Pfleile the inventory and bow ausgrüstet ... So am Ranger Level 1,
visor NEN creature with his gun drawn on my char raises NEN stone (* laughs * so "defend" Also collectors and artisans, throwing stones, although Försteraxt, Gerber knives or forging hammer already passable weapons would). Jo everything clearly no arrows in the quiver, for whatever reason, the Waldi NEN Skill fill the quivers, click ... "You can not run the Komando" ... Ja ne is clear ... click ... "You can not run Komando "
Honestly, I did it today managed to nit to do arrows in my quiver ...
Complete nonsense ...
- As a note to the classes. I'm assumed (including obriges example came about) that I can "Pullen" with NEM bow, the creature then already half decomposed arrives with me and I with him
Can give blows the rest. That quasi classes is possible to combine, or at least to change so fast that it has advantages in. Mööp 0 ... Either that or the beginning of a fight to the end.
- In addition, I thought if I killed so as pugilists a rat, I can abziehn of fur around NEN Bissel coal to make her next. Bought Gerber knife, killed the rat, but mööp 0 ... Eh you've made it to equip knife and Skills (Skills must be refitted when changing class always) away is the rat carcasses ...
So the disillusionment "Oh my god what is this please?" Runs through the whole game, no matter what you want to do, first Nothing is explained, everything is designed awkward ...
- - - - - - - - - - - -
All in all, in my opinion, FF XIV just a bad game. So bad that even the old NES or SNES parts of the series are preparing more fun.
As mentioned at the beginning it's a shame that this game bears the name Final Fantasy, which runs through the whole series in the dirt ...
I am naturally set rather skeptical, but I saw many other MMOs that made it better, even immediately after the Beta.
LOTRO has initially only geruckelt, biste nichmal come in AION to the server, in Age of Conan was to land at Tortage, in WAR has a boredom and the nonexistent PvE content made almost insane. But nothing compares to FFXIV. WHILE the other MMOs have at least ne solid matrix, FFXIV has only the look, and even the. Because apart from the considerable graphics and one probably 1 or 2 good ideas this game has nothing really nothing that makes it worthwhile.
Note the contents of the Collector Edition. Really time meaningful additions. Ne cloth map, NEN cup, NEN Style note book and especially nen device for generating one-time passwords to increase the security of the Acc.
Nevertheless 1 star as the minimum rating and 1 star for graphics and the hope that it will be better probably. Construction sites are indeed enough because ...
1. National server
2. PC-friendly UI
3. Meaningful Quest System
4. more upbeat fights / menu navigation
5. Absturzbugs eliminate ...
... If everything were that simple.
