Yeah I'm tempted to say that alot of the complaining is from those who either never played the Open beta up until now or from people who have not been keeping up with what SE has been saying will be in the Final release.
No Final Fantasy XI was damn near broken at launch. It was horrible how many things didn't make sense or didn't work. And the amount of stuff that should have been there from the start and wasn't.
Compared to Final Fantasy XI's Final Launch code Final Fantasy XIV is a masterpiece.
However you are 100% right in that the US didn't see the game until it had almost a full year and a full expansion pack. We saw the polished product a year late...
Well there is alot to say about this.
Firstly is that the game is far from broken. The worst problems with the Open beta have already been proven to be fixed by SE for the final release. These issues being the laggy interface and being able to use a Hardware mouse instead of the games.
That said there is very little wrong with the game. It's certainly different and won't appeal to everyone's taste but it's not broken like alot of other MMO&#...
I have to say I agree and I disagree with your comment.
On one half you are 100% right that the closed Mega Theater for the trailers SE shows is something of a tradition they have been doing it for quite some time and it's done to give people who are fans of SE something exclusive to look forward to. People need to remember that the later days of TGS are open to the public and alot of those people get into the closed theater to see these trailers and the fact that they c...
Normally when they do a reboot it means there won't be another game in the original series.
So I would assume there will never be a DMC 5. Which is retarded considering how bad this is likely to turn out. I'm sure from a game play perspective the game will be pretty decent(needs to feel like DMC and not a copy past of HS and enslaved game play) but the story and characters are more then likely gonna be completely destroyed.
Maybe Capcom is doing what...
Kain could not have said it any better then that.
It was only after the Japanese companies tried to make games that appeal to the west that they started to go downhill. Forcing your people to make games they don't want to make for a culture they don't understand will make that game fail.
However if you make the game you want and have a passion for it it's gonna show in your game. Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a pretty good example of this.

It's not exactly that they can't afford to. It's that 3d doesn't suit the Disgaea series.
Most SRPG's are sprite based and it's because it's what has worked best for that genre. Most other franchises moved to Hand held platforms to avoid people complaining about that. Final Fantasy Tactics for example started on console but every game in the series since has been on a hand held. It just doesn't work in 3d. The only one I can think that was in...
Can't wait for this.
Some of the other sources are saying that the games gonna have MUCH better graphics this time around as well. Not that it really matters to me. I loved Disgaea 3(probably my favorite in the franchise) despite it's graphics.
I'm wondering if this will be another entirely new game or if it will follow up on Disgaea 3. I really just liked that cast of characters and hope to see them a bit more. I mean more then in cameo roles.
...yes Of course I don't want the stupid glasses. They make the picture look worse, They are expensive, They are uncomfortable there is nothing good about them.
I really REALLY hope this is true.
Awhile back it was said that Muramasa would never get a HD port but the fact that they could be download only makes it a little more likely.
I'm sure both games would look incredible in HD.
@VandimionX
Ah. Interesting I thought they started with the young one and changed to the old one for the US.
Either way the reason for the old one is the same. They thought that would appeal more to the west. So they made a different version for Japan. Most people I know who know what Nier is told me they wanted the Japanese version instead.
It's funny cause Nier could have been a good game but SE didn't seem to have confidence in i...
a good 75-80% of the main issues players have had with the Beta are going to be fixed at launch according to this which is a really good thing.
The Hardware Mouse and Faster UI among the most important in my opinion. Also making it faster to regain Anima and getting leves is awesome as well.
One I'm personally excited about seeing as I played alot of the jobs in the beta back and forth was the action not resetting each time you changed.
And I agree there are things that Japan needs to do better and I wasn't using my statement to say that Japan is perfect and all mighty in Game development. I simply stated THIS situation isn't on the Japanese side but on the Western side.
What Kojima did with MGS 4 is how do add a Western touch the right way. Even with it's different game play MGS 4 still felt like a MGS game. However it doesn't matter what Ninja Theory does with this look it won't feel li...
@IHateYouFanboys
But see that's why it's broken. They should just not have those sections. Just have 1 overall score and done. The mere act of having sections makes it easier for people to just skip the review itself and look at the numbers. Graphics whores get their section to look at real quick.
People who just want alot of content have their section. Sound junkies have theirs and Game play has theirs. It just makes it easier to skip the text in th...
@dark-hollow
You can't really use this as a example of why Japanese gaming is going downhill because Capcom is not the ones making most of this game. Ninja Theory is and they are western. So basically you have a Western Dev completely DESTROYING the character and franchise and Capcom stands by and lets it happen because they hope that this will be what the west likes and hopes it leads to sales instead of stepping in and saying stop screwing with our character.
...
As much as a love Ninja Gaiden I think they really need to make another console DOA.
It's been way to long and even though we know the 3DS is powerful it's not as powerful as a PS3 or 360. I would LOVE to see a PS3 exclusive DOA and see what they could make if they pushed the game to the limits of the PS3's power. The DOA games have always been incredibly beautiful and it's been long enough that they should step up and show they can still make the best looking...
I would hope that after the backlash over the new Dante that Capcom will go back and make Ninja Theory change him back to the original Dante ala Cole in Infamous 2.
If not Capcom better get ready for some really disappointing sales because a large portion of DMC fans will not buy the game with a Dante like that.
This article is retarded.
It's taking storyline from the previous games into account when this is supposed to be a reboot. Who says Dante will ever have the Devil May Cry shop?
Who says that Vergil is still even in the games story line or part of the mythos?
Everything else is so changed and horrible they probably threw out all the good parts of the original story and made up a new one.
I Still don't like it. This wil...
Finally glad to see that people are starting to take time and realize that the Fatigue system is a good idea. After I had read the official explanation from SE I thought it was a pretty good idea. The video they link to in the article does a PERFECT job of explaining it and really helps one see that it will in the end actually HELP the hardcore players instead of limit them.
That said I have been playing the open beta and I am very excited to see what is in the final game. Th...
There is one main thing that helps Final Fantasy XI keep going and it's the way SE runs the servers.
They don't split up different nations onto different servers like every other MMO ever made. The auto translate system allows for all nations to play on the same servers and as such allows for more people to enjoy the game together. That along with the fact that the games are very much gear towards the Japanese means that the Japanese side of things won't allow th...
