FFXIV ~ Player's Poll the First

Final Fantasy XIV Players Poll ~ You'll have to log in after visiting this link to participate!

Most are rather generic MMO questions, but there are a few that greatly stand out, that which I would like to think are a means for the new development team to know what the players want worked on as priority one! Highlighted are the options I chose...

Let me begin by wishing a happy new year to all players and fans of FINAL FANTASY XIV!

The last few weeks of 2010 were tumultuous times for us all, what with the announcement of the development team restructuring and multiple version updates. Still, I hope you are all enjoying your winter vacations and holidays, and had truly memorable Christmas and New Year’s Eves and Days.

As part of the new direction promised, we here on the development and management teams have adopted four new keywords for FINAL FANTASY XIV: fun, live, reboot, and rebuild. Forgive our translators if these buzzwords seem a bit cryptic or cliché, but I am using these English words as-is in the Japanese, and insisted they use the same words for a global resonance.

To get things rolling right away, I am asking for your cooperation with our FINAL FANTASY XIV Player’s Poll the First—a brief questionnaire being issued to give you the players another means by which to have your voices heard.

Well, I would be lying if I said I was writing only to wish you the best in the coming twelve moons. Truth be told, the realm is all aflutter just now— the air thick with anticipation and excitement. In fact, an ancient verse of prophecy was delivered to my person by a messenger from Eorzea not moments ago. But I’ve never been much of one for poems... Perhaps some of you will have more luck decoding it than I have.

Again, I wish all of you a happy new year, and ask that you all look forward to what we have in store for FINAL FANTASY XIV in 2011!


FINAL FANTASY XIV Producer/Director, Naoki Yoshida

For Me the FF series has always mean a small group of adventurer well balenced and stronger then the sume of its parts Taking on a Wild and evil world.

I think the Devlopers did not keep this in mind.

Anything involving a group feels like a mindless Zerg.

Untill that is addressed i dont see this game going anywere.

my responses were almost exactly the same. I loved XI for the fact that the party experience was fundamental and I want to see that come back.
