Yep... so you mean to tell me everyone who has played FFXI has been wasting their time? The best thing about FFXI is that there's no high-level newbie kids who whine about loot... aka World of Warcraft or Insert Random MMO here.


FFXI was not meant to appeal to American gamers who enjoy "solo" play and "instant" level up results.

FFXI is focused on unity, elitism, and crucial gameplay... rather than just button mashing and allowing for tons of screw ups to go through without any penalties.


Again, just because you played (insert random game here) for a week and thought it sucked, doesn't mean you actually knew what you were doing.

Games have these things called learning curves where you learn how to play the game. You can't sit there and say you learned how to play FFXI in a week and said it sucked, if you have... then explain in detail how the game is supposed to be played.
