hhmmm, ive never played everquest. how is it in relation to WoW and FFXI? i mean as far as fighting goes since thats what theyre comparing to.

FFXI pretty much was Everquest. If you played FFXI, you essentially played Everquest.

ok but what about the user interface? is it all macros and menues? is it all just kill one mob at a time.... each mob lasting five + minutes?
that isnt a game i want to repeat.

Thank you for taking the time to translate all of this for us.

The more I hear about this Job system the more I dislike it, wish they would just give us the full details on it so we can get a better picture instead of having to piece together bits of info.

I couldn't agree more, I am very unhappy with how they're doing this job system.

Everquest battle? sounds really really bad. If thats what they make i think many people will be raging come patch time.

Jeesh. Why couldn't they have left well enough alone.

I have a really bad feeling about this.

Oh well, you cant say we didnt warn you.

I feel there trying to hard to make this Party but also help the solo players. I mean if you want to play solo play wow or a offline game that just how i feel. Not even in wow i play solo more then getting 1-15 then doing dungeon/quest even then i did quest with players 1-15 and got faster to 15. I just hope there more party stuff to do then solo lol.

So it seem Airship/ and Cid would be coming to FFXIV i can't wait for this.

[Radaghast]

Sounds too focused on encouraging small cliques of players.

I am more impressed that they're aware of other MMO's out there. I don't think Tanaka touched anything outside the realm of FF.
