LOL I know that "other" game is crap and should be scrapped. FFXI should have been given a face lift to bring it up to speed but.... (*cough* PS2 limitations) I can respect spending years going after gear because it took years for me to gear up my whm and smn. The areas where different and the battles engaging. Yes I was whm for most of it because I was good at it and it was needed more than smn. Not because smn could do nothing useful. I certainly didn't have to stand there and do nothing wile a monk tanked it wile we figured out who needed to poke an NM before we would kill it.
