XIV is an achievement and very good at what it does, but it is not my kind of game, it feels like I'm doing homework or chores. I can't get any kind of RPG traction in it, and I don't bond with my character like I do in FFXI.

But I truly hope that everyone playing XIV has a great time and the game is successful, I wish them all the best!
Same here. I played it enough in the 2.0 Beta to know it wasn't anywhere near the level of XI (imo.) To this day, I have yet to use the free two weeks that was apparently allotted to me for purchasing the game during the 1.0 era. As long as XI is around, I see no reason to start it up anytime soon.
