Final Fantasy makes its way to the PC as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.
thought I'd put this out there because I see so many reviews that are basically summing up their reviews with day one open beta problem. Much of what people talk about has been either changed, doesn't work that way in the first place, or that person hasn't played MMO's before this.
Quests: All MMO's pretty much have quests. Some make you grind a bit more then others. FFXI made you grind the whole way from start to finish, after level 10-15 though most of your grinding would be done with a group. FFXIV takes away a big part of that grinding, while not being quite as quest focused as say World of Warcraft.
UI & Mouse: That problem was quickly addressed, they just didn't have hardware mouse in place at the time. The UI itself is a turn off to many MMO players because most enjoy keyboard mouse setup, while FFXI worked and played much better with a gamepad or on the ps2. Same thing applies to FFXIV, it feels and plays much better on a gamepad.
Empty World: Almost everything was locked out during open beta.. That would be why. Even all the monster stats, placement etc weren't correctly set. They just wanted to know the servers could take it once they had the problems ironed out.
Anyways, to sum it up it not a good idea to actually review games in beta; or at least not to summarize it being horrible and broken purely off beta restrictions. it causes a lot of misinformation, deliberately or not.
