FFXI is evolving for the better. The old ways of having things done the hard long time consuming ways are dead, forever. SE finally gives what the majority of the players, or the would be players want, which is an easier, less time consuming, more accessible game for casual players. Personally, I think they are looking for ways to bring more subscribers. Overall, FFXI now is 100 times better than when it comes out in 2003. Gone are the artificial challenges, time sink is reduced, transportation is faster, a lot of things are doable with small groups, retarded time restriction are lifted, most of the useful gears are rare/ex. Abbysea is the greatest thing that ever come to this game, beside ToAU. Both expansion really gives what the majority of the players want: accessible contents to all. I cannot wait to see what they planned on future updates.
100% agree
