What do you feel went RIGHT with FFXIV?

You can turn it on and get something done in under an hour, whereas with FFXI (back in the day) you might be looking for a group for longer than that.

i never had a problem gettin a party in ff11 ever even when leveling puppetmaster beastmaster dragoon and whm galka lol peoples inability to get a party in ff11 was always due to a few factors
1 bad reputation
2 poorly geared
3 not understanding there job at all
4 meleeing on rdm past yhoater jungle
5 relying on level sync to level which in turn gave u craptastic skill lvls and no acc. and a bad reputation lol
6 not meriting fully or weapon lvls to give u an advantage.


And whats my only thing i think they truely got right in ff14?????? when u create a character your toon actually looks like the one u created in character creation instead of that bogus crap in ff11 lol

everything else people just tolerate mostly because at this point the game is still free to play and easy to lvl. I pray the damn jobs actually give this game new life.

Get real man I took BLM to 75 and wasn't any of what you mentioned and sometimes I'd sit hours waiting for a party. As much as I love FFXI it doesn't mean it did everything flawlessly. However in XI when I couldn't find a party I'd usually make one myself, wasn't always easy anyway. (cuz you forgot in your list to mention: not finding a tank, not finding a white mage, in some cases not finding a bard, etc.) wasn't always a cake walk.

Oh god don't remind me of how !@#$ed up job balance was in XI.
