I think this is definitely what this thread is/should be about.

EDIT: Lmao I was thinking that comparing Alpha Battle System in XIV to FFXI Battle System is like comparing how smart a baby is to a 20-year-old college student. :P

Honestly, is it that different? Is the Alpha game all that better than what it is now? A joke is a joke. The punchline is just a tad bit different now.

How can you not get what I'm trying to say? wow.. lol

Protip: People get it but it kills their argument/stance/counterargument so they dance around it.

no it was that bad. When monks couldn't pull high dmg i had a party once maybe twice a mnth and I played everyday. This was @ 55ish way before treasures game out. I had to solo mnk mostly, not fun. ffxi after the first year ( of ps2 us launch) ppl started to only like certain jobs/ combos. Even whm started having tough time getting parties due to rdm or smn/whm being the more popular healers.

They can just go do the endless dancing in other MMOs then. :P

Anyways, I'm amused at how anyone can have the balls to post a thread comparing the battle system of 8+ year-old game to a battle system of a game in Alpha Phase (Non-Retail). I've seen some rather intelligent posts here and there, more so than I thought I would, but when crap like this comes around, I just get the urge to make sense of what the hell is going on here.

Also, I still find it a bit hard to get parties as a Monk 56, but after Abyssea came out, people have been desperate to get a 6-man party to do some Abyssea. I've been invited plenty of times, but how silly of me, to not purchase Abyssea but to know that I can get to lvl 90 within a few days worth of playing.

Might as well add in some micro transactions for Dragon Chronicles so you can sit there and lvl up without fighting anything. Great fun.
