"Rapture" to replace FFXI as premiere SE MMO... =(

[richardd]

I'd rather have Amano designs, but for some reason the majority of America seems to dislike his style.

derail:

not me, i love his designs. i find them sort of therapeutic at times. He can really set the mood for all the FFs he designed. I like Nomura better just because he keeps up with today's modern designs alot more than Amano does. IMO at least. And nomura has a way of making an anime character look like someone you'd see serving you food at Outback. incredibly realistic, yet cartoony all at once. That style cant be mimiced

i guess the 2 really cant compare with each other.

its like debating motorcycle vs convertibles.

[Correction]

Amano can't really be called a designer since nothing he draws is made for 3d. He is an illustrator, conceptual artist, etc.

And fuck Nomura. He's a shit ripoff of Range Murata.

Just have to answer to this, WoW is an MMO that is not for hardcore players(i guess it can be i got mad tho that i did not no anyone in the game and was like lvl 30 in less then a day)

If your a hardcore player, like about 70% of ffxi then WoW is not for ya. i just could not deal with wow myself. Just because wow has more people does not mean its the best.

We all know that more = better right? you get RMT /tells all day long in wow, hell they do them in shouts even.... you lvl much faster, you do not need a party, all this adds up to people who dont have time play it.is that bad not really, but they are not the same game hell they are not even for the same people.

you cant say anything is "best" it depends on each person. i think FFXI is the best. you may think WoW is the best.

I call bullshit that you were level 30 in "less than a day." As someone who would have just started the game, you'd have been level 10 in about 10 hours. That is unless you were bullshitting about the "not knowing anyone" and were using "Recruit a Friend" that gives 500% EXP per kill or some crap so that your friend will get to level 70/80 faster and you will then be able to do that together.

So either way, you're a terrible fucking liar.

And yes, WoW is the "best" game of MMOs per NPD sales data. Personal opinions are a completely different matter.

Rapture is in development since at least 2-3 years or more and SE just recently announced that they will present a new MMORPG title on the next E-3 or however that was called. Wouldnt be surprised to see the new MMORPG title ready in 2 years.

Link?
Only thing i've seen about SE having any info on rapture at E3 was an article in EGM that if i recall was a rumor.
And really that has been a rumor for as long as the game has been in development. Everyone keeps thinking "Maybe this year they'll show us something..."

[ringthree]

Last time I checked it was WoW, idiot.

I believe that FFXI is far superior to WoW, and even if it wasn't none of my friends play WoW. So, your comment fails in both regards.

Truly pathetic. LOL

Adding in per subscriber base too.

Disregarding your belief, the people play whats best: http://www.mogstat.com/images/subscription_pie.png

You should look up logical fallacy some time.

You logic:
Toyota sells the most cars in the world, therefore they make better cars than Koenigsegg.

So does that mean Nickelback is better than Opeth because more people listen to Nickelback?

If you say yes I will find you and rape you irl, I promise.

Doesn't matter, they both suck.

Not a proper analogy. Toyota makes $15000-$30000 cars. Koenigsegg doesn't make anything under like $90000.

Now if CompanyA was charging $1 for their game and CompanyB was charging $100 for their game, then you might have a better example.

Amano can't really be called a designer since nothing he draws is made for 3d. He is an illustrator, conceptual artist, etc.

This sums it up. The only thing I've ever seen that actually looks like what Amano originally drew is Vampire Hunter D.

Other than that, he does design them, but in the end they end up looking almost nothing like what he drew. Same basic structure, but the art style gets completely changed. I love Vampire Hunter D, love it. But to be honest, I like the look of the Final Fantasy characters he designed "in game" more than I like his illustrations of them.

Who is the guy who designed the characters for The Last Remnant? That's my favorite guy.

It is a proper analogy because I am not talking about price point, I am talking about game quality. Most people want a car that is convenient and easy to drive without complications. Some people want a sports car that will rip their faces off.

It's the reason that most cars are automatics even though automatics actually cost more than manuals.

10hrs >.>? 1 lvl an hr your that slow in that game? lol

kill 4 of the same monster gain 700 exp or w/e it is. there is so much crap just thrown at you for doing easy things over and over >.>

and just b/c something sells dont make it the best. titanic anyone?

[Lordender]

lulz @ FFXI.

Botting is everything.

Shitty drop rates of 1 salvage zone that cockblocks people for months causing people to dupe.

Shitty patches that add features 95% of the people say "should have been done years ago"

Broken mob that cannot be defeated through the intended way.

Dev team hides from the playerbase, keeps playerbase in the dark.


No thanks, i rather take my blueposts that keep me up to date about whats going to be coming. Bots don't effect me and I don't got bullshit fucking moron jp's ignoring me when I'm seeking for a party because i don't speak the language.

Good for you. Some of us prefer FFXI.

But if posting about how great your new game is makes you feel better, then go for it.

[Aro]

The only reason WoW has more subscribers is because most of them are prepubecent boys who don't have the intellect to play a game as challenging as FFXI. WoW is the MMO made for the retard.

Truer words were never spoken, except for the retard part, maybe a little harsh >_>

[dejet]

in the end why does it matter? you play wow ill play ffxi (2?) im happy you like wow, be happy i like ffxi lol

[Kaludneisucks]

Either way, more people play Lineage.. damn we suck...

[lolwut]

I'll play Rapture if it uses the sub job system, and I won't if it doesn't. I like having a single 'character identity' while still being able to explore new ways to play.

Do everyone a favour and don't fight FFXI's corner with silly arguments like that.
