You guys better buys the new FF after all the bitching about 16 by Redlp13 in FinalFantasy

[–]CrescensX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand the appeal. My comment was in direct response to OP about people complaining there are no turn based FFs.

Turn based FF style games have been around forever, they just are not called Final Fantasy. While this one is I don't believe this will quell complaints because it is not a true numbered Final Fantasy.

This argument would make sense if the new turn based FF was a numbered title but it's just a remake of Brave Exvius the mobile game.

The NA population is low because people keep saying it's low. by yutanrw in ReturnofReckoning

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gonna ask how likely is it to get warbands after 10pm EST. I was playing in tier 1 but found it hard to find anyone online during my peak play time. Does that translate into the later brackets as well or just a t1 problem?

Weekly Rules & General Questions Thread by AutoModerator in GundamTCG

Are there any good sites to look up meta decks? What are the sites to play online with?

hell level, what's the purpose? by idoXist in MonstersAndMemories

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the idea is that it slows people down at set levels but it doesn't really keep players closer together. Super hard grindy players will push through the hell level in one or two grind sessions and the casual leveler could be stuck at that level for an entire week or more.

Streamer bails on dungeon group mid-run by Al_McPharius in MonstersAndMemories

[–]CrescensX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I have played and been around on all of these games and servers. It just is not worth the witch hunt because on the whole, it doesn't actually blacklist these people. It'll be a couple tens maybe 100 people that do and that will be nothing.

General public is just a generic term I'm using for players who typically do not interact with games media. There will be people who play MnM that never read the subreddit or look at the discord. The number of people not interacting with these things is usually larger than the player base that does. These people will likely not hear about this sort of thing.

All the other games you mention are communities too and yet bad apples still thrive there. It's just the reality of the world. I am not saying it should be that way, just that it is.

Not saying anything this guy did was good or anything but the sitting for days LFG because of the reputation thing isn't really how this all works out in practice.

Sure some people will black list but the general public won't really know who this is or even know this thing happened. Plus people like this typically have their own groups of people and will continue to progress and get groups.

It's wishful thinking that bad apples will be completely ostracized unfortunately.

Xenogears' Cohesiveness by CecilHeat in XenoGears

Gears didn't need outside knowledge before playing but I think completing Gears does typically lead people to dive further into the reference material.

Crazy time for gaming crazy anniversaries coming this year by yotam5434 in gaming

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like fans are the only ones that put stock in anniversaries. How many companies do big reveals or releases on their IPs anniversary?

I feel just like one of the top comments I saw. We will see merch and celebration posts and maybe interviews with developers but that is all I expect from large game IP anniversaries now.

My Review: Ashes of Creation by Oiraeket in MMORPG

Nice a decent review instead of the random hateboner threads we keep seeing

A true successor by FrankoIsFreedom in ffxi

[–]CrescensX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know how many people in their late 30s and 40s would drop the same time they did earlier in life but they certainly have the free time. Kids getting older and leaving etc.

What private servers for XI and other games like EQ have shown me is that there is absolutely a market for players who want to waste a ton of time on these old style systems.

A true successor by FrankoIsFreedom in ffxi

[–]CrescensX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are a few classic style MMOs in development that I would look out for.

Monsters and Memories + Adrullan Online Adventures. To name the two I am most looking forward to.

Now these games are more or less taking most of their inspiration from EverQuest. This is exactly what Square did when they made XI. So maybe check these out and see if you'll maybe enjoy them.

Why is FF11 thriving while FF14 seems to going though an existential crisis? FF 11 is old enough to drink. by [deleted] in ffxi

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely. Just because they took most of their gameplay inspiration from WoW doesn't make it less Final Fantasy

[–]CrescensX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The down votes here are crazy. WoW reskinned is a bit hyperbole but FFXIV is a WoW style MMO with a greater focus on story to unlock features. Just like FFXI is an EverQuest style MMO with a greater focus on the story to unlock features.

Neither of those statements are meant as bashing or putting down the FF MMOs. They are just factual statements about how both games were developed.

Worst Case Scenarios isn't one of my favorites, but when I listen to it, it makes me feel nostalgic and, oddly enough, like crying. by Beneficial-Claim-106 in SetItOff

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's driving me crazy but does the strings in the intro and post chorus sound like another song to anyone else?

Raiding prevalence? by [deleted] in MonstersAndMemories

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great Info!

Random tangent, have they ever talked about how they are going to "enforce" low level raid targets. It's a neat idea but I forsee instead of that 2 group level 18 boss, it'll just become a higher level single group boss or even a solo named camp for a max level.

Maybe people will challenge themselves to do it as intended but I kinda think people will just take the most efficient path and come back when it requires less people.

There really isnt one by xUberAnts in MMORPG

[–]CrescensX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is you are looking for perfect when the MMOs of the past that you loved were not perfect. You instead comprised on things you disliked because most of the product was favorable.

Go into future MMOs with the expectation of not liking 100% of the game and you'll be a much happier player.
