Other than that it plays like a single player jrpg with co-op rather than a mmorpg. You know why people remember FFXI community so fondly, despite the drama and shiet? Because the game world was dangerous, everything was designed to force people into cooperation. Those who couldn't deal with grouping with other people wouldn't go past level 20.
Exactly! This game is all about individual play, but for the 5ish fights where you do have to work together, if you struggle, the other people yell at you because they fee like you are hurting THEIR game, and slowing THEM down. In FFXI everyone had to work together to progress, so everyone learned their job so they could hold up their end of the battle, and everyone helped each other to progress. I don't see this game lasting much longer honestly.
