That sense of accomplishment, the long days waiting to for NMs to spawn and running with your 18~36 LS members to claim it, an engaging storyline like ROZ, COP, TAU, WOTG, ect. It was something special. I am not saying I was expecting that from FFXIV (too old and have a family to do that now lol).

I have to say my son and his friends/cousins loves to play FFXIV. They enjoy it like I enjoy FFXI. FFXIV has drawn a large, new audience to entertain. Clearly the game is for the new blood and maybe a handful of FFXI Vets/Retirees. As much as I respect and appreciate FFXIV and have a couple of subs for my son, I personally am more connect to FFXI and I will retire with it and move back to console games.

FYI, I still play FF8.
This is the kind of level-headed response I like to see. Thank you.
