What the hell? Just rehire Enix America and let them work on Dragon Warrior, while Square Soft develops Squaresoft? Just imagine all the great rpgs' that we never played since the aquisition. I'm at a sore loss as a gamer.

all these problems were known and constantly reported during the beta yet they still act like this was a surprise

The list of updates is still not enough to make me want to pay for this game. I've been playing solid since the C/E release and personally, I find it boring. It's obvious in too many ways just how lazy they were in putting this title together.

The problem they're going to have in getting this monstrosity to take off is that people wanted a new FFXI. It was an excellent game and people were hoping this would be FFXI-Plus. It wasn't. They removed pretty much everything people loved about the original game and in their effort to create a "better world", created something that is boring, frustrating and just not fun.

I hate to put this game down but too many people have already left and a lot more will be leaving at the end of this month because these patch notes fail to address most of the "Common" questions players want to know about. Auction Houses, Chocobos, Moghouses, etc. etc.

I'll check back in 6 months or a year to see if they redesigned things enough to make this one worth paying for but for now, I won't sink any money into this flop.

That's a pretty huge amount of updates... Could help things, but they should've really released a game that was so incomplete in the first place. I reckon by the middle of next year this game will be up to scratch. Maybe they should withdraw it from shelves and just work on it some more...

There's definitely some game changers in there, plus they'll be adding more updates in the future. SE can't let this one flop so look for it to get much better over time. As for me, I'll be waiting on the Ps3 version to see what it's all about.
