... They aren't going to make this a subscription game? If they are, then... ... Wow... Squeenix is losing their touch. And their entire nervous system, too! I really hope they're not serious... either way, this is NOT something you reveal in a press release. People WILL get the wrong idea, and they WILL lash out against the game. |

just tell me when they are doing an actual Final Fantasy, this MMO stuff is annoying. I paid $60 for the game and now you want me to pay monthly? Sorry, the answer is no.... If it was free monthly I'll consider it |

Welp. She says that if this is actually true, she's just going back to Ragnarok. Though I really hope it's something like 2x EXP if your fatigue is at 100%. If not... well... sayonara, Square. May I see you in another life. (Actually, it'll just be Enix by then!) |

Okay, I have a completely rational, thought-out- what. This is...This is one of the stupidest things I've heard in the history of...anything. I mean, they might as well have just said "All we really give a shit about is your money. We could care less about anything like you enjoying our games," and gotten it over with. There's no way in hell I could even fathom them spinning this into a good thing. |

You can't blame Square Enix for trying to address the issue of addiction. There are many documented cases of players becoming horribly addicted to MMO's and similar games with horrible consequences.

Of all genre of games, it seems like MMOs are the genre in which you would want to INPIRE people to play, so that they would be motivated to pay a montly fee. The whole reasoning behind it is extremely stupid. Though I must say that you could pull off a fatigue system that lowered stats MINORLY based on how long you played, but just dont force players to stop playing to reverse the penalties. Couldnt they like, just make it to where if you stay at an inn you recover from all fatigue, or make some sort of IN GAME cure instead of DISCOURAGING PLAY. In short, the fatigue system wouldnt be that bad if there were IN GAME cures to it. |

If I read that right, changing classes negates the penalty, something that is required of you either way (to use healing spells effectively). "Fatigue doesn't affect you" if you change classes... if my friend and I read that right, then it is the in-game cure. ...meh. Double EXP for light playing sounds way more effective at combating addiction. |

Yes you read that right, but I dislike that. You need to change your playstyle in order to keep on playing, otherwise you get little or no exp. |

I can relate, somewhat. But my FF MMO-loving friend---the one who might play this game regardless? She knows a few people who play the beta, so her hopes (and her remark saying you need to change class to play more effectively) might not be ill-placed. She and I expect the stat system to work somewhat like Mabi's, where skills grant the majority of your character's stat boosts. |

I'd rather play Dragon Quest IX on the DS, instead. It seems that the games that represent the "Enix" part of Square-Enix have looked better lately. I still want to find out if "Joker 2" will get a North American release. On topic, I understand this idea is to ensure that people who are addicted can't get much out of this since the game will "punish" them, but to limit the chance to play the game for one hour a day without consequences? That don't sound good. The idea of ensuring that people don't get addicted to video games and spend virtually every moment of their lives behind a monitor screen is an issue, but there has to be a more logical solution. My idea is that you can still punish those who play long, but don't make the punishment as severe. I would rather put a clamp on the objectives that they can do by telling the player to take a "time out", else they can't do anything. Stunting development isn't anywhere near my idea. |

I can understand recommending the player to take breaks every hour or so. What I can't understand is penalizing the player for playing for more than one hour a day, breaks or no breaks. |

Even more news.
Still not that good, I can play for 8 hours in one sitting if I felt like it. Square needs to get their act together. Edited by Dvv, Aug 25 2010, 02:48 PM.

Also... I asked what this Guardian Aspect is... Apparently it's a permanent buff. Guess which one I'd pick. Oh, and she elaborates on how the fatigue system isn't tied to classes:I'm fine with an 8-hour limit, since I'll have that kind of leisure time anymore, but this "resets in one week" is a bit too much. I'd reduce it to the old 2-day reset. Edited by RisingManes, Aug 25 2010, 05:22 PM.

1 week cooldown is just ridiculous. As i stated before, a fatigue system COULD work. If you have the proper consequences and cooldown. My problem is the Squeenix is being very unreasonable with the said consequences and cooldown. An 8 hour time limit with a 168 HOUR COOLDOWN (That's one week in hours) is pretty frieakin' unfair in my opinion. |

I think the system serves a good purpose and all, but what I find stupid is that they're doing it on a game that has a MONTHLY FEE!!!!!! Even without putting in some extra coin in the game every month, it's still a bit unfair. |
