The first game, Final Fantasy XIV, was a total failure. It's player population dropped drastically after 1 month of being released. And I bought the first one. I found that the graphics were incredible and better than any other MMO. I loved how beautiful the characters you can make were. What sucked was that you had to craft everything to hell. Spend more time crafting than doing dungeons or questing. It was a shame to see it go since I had plopped a lot of money into it.
This game is apparently better, though. I bought the digital collectors edition and the PS3 game for my friend all on a limb on the hope that this game would be worth putting down $95. I have yet to play it even though it had early release 2 days ago and so I'm lagging behind. I wonder if having fired a ton of their employees to revamp this game will make such a difference.
Things I hope for: easier crafting, less repeated landscapes, less traveling (I spent at least 1 hour traveling everyday to save the crystals used to teleport, using those for mass transit for groups), less buggy fighting (I was a thaumaturge and one buff gave me more def than anyone else), and easier mobs I can solo (I don't want to die to a squirrel).
