The FFXi story lines are fantastic, by far and away the biggest of any FF game.

Sadly I disagree with most of the rest of your comments :/
As fast as leveling is now, it's just a chore. Except when they do these double Xp campaigns- people form groups in old places again.

As cool as moghouse was, it feels dated now. Clunky and slow.

The graphcs have actually stood up pretty darn well I think. Of course I'd love to see native gpu support with antialiasing, an uncapped frame rate and real time lighting, but regardless, the game still looks pretty good.

I have no qualms with the ah system, but there isn't much on it anymore :/
