it's been out for a while with a terrible start. Has it gotten better? Is it worth trying?

People say its playable now but still not that great, and to wait for the 2.0 ed.

Not planning to activate my key til 2.0 hits at any rate.

It's definitely a lot better than it was initially.

any word on when 2.0 will be out?

[Deranged]

You know as much as I do, whatever the wiki says

I haven't been following it that closely, but I played some FF11 so I'm at least curious obviously.

My friend played it for a while. Said despite its flaws it was a good game overall.

If anyone has a buddy pass feel free to pass it on to me. Would like to try it for myself.

It's really really bad

It has come a long, long way...

And in it's current state is very much playable. It's just boring.

Flat out saying "no" is very one dimensional and shows the lack of research and interest that most Neowinians have.

Wait for 2.0, it isn't worth the monthly subscription fee that they stupidly implemented just as the game was starting to garner slightly more interest.

If you are truly interested, follow the game on http://www.ffxivcore.com/ or other fansites. Or just use the official lodestone.

Personally, i've found that Tera Online has cured my desire for hypersexualized grindy JMMORPGS. Try the 7 day trial, it's free and far more interesting that FFXIV in it's current state.

man I played the Tera beta. I'd rather stab myself in the leg once a day for three years straight (assuming it would still be attached by then.)

Fortunately The Secret World is here so =)

"The Secret World" is not a JMMORPG. Completely different genre of MMO from what XIV and Tera are.

And your point is?

New website & trailer released for XIV 2.0: http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/

[LOC]

I wonder if they are going to have a proper trial version anytime soon. I know they didn't charge for the game for like the first year almost, but you had to have bought the game already. I'd like to try the game out now and see how it is, because I'm interested in the game quite a bit. Also, nice trailer

Discontinued content when 2.0 releases: http://lodestone.fin...00c9127bfe4e624

I wonder if they know... No one cares lol.

"As we transition from the game’s current version to FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn, existing game content will be undergoing a number of changes. This post will detail such changes coming to achievements, character histories, guild marks, replayable cutscenes, and the availability of the goobbue mount.

Goobbue Mounts
As previously announced, the goobbue horn, which is the item used to summon the goobbue mount, will no longer be obtainable as of the release of patch 1.23a.



Guild Marks
All of your guild marks will be deleted upon logging into A Realm Reborn. For this reason, we urge you to visit the guilds and use your marks before that time. After release of A Realm Reborn, it will also no longer be possible to receive guild mark refunds for previously purchased abilities that have since been removed from the game.

* Other achievements may undergo changes to their conditions or temporarily become unavailable upon release of A Realm Reborn.



Replayable Cutscenes
As part of A Realm Reborn, the content of nearly all cinematic cutscenes will be reworked. This will result in significantly different viewing experiences for the same cutscene between the current version of the game and A Realm Reborn.



Character Histories
In A Realm Reborn, the date on which an achievement is completed will be recorded as part of an in-game character history, which will be maintained in a manner different from current character histories on the Lodestone. We are also looking into ways to have the current character histories remain accessible on the Lodestone following release of A Realm Reborn."
