I agree it is more complicated and takes longer.

FF14 seems to be going instanced though and "camping" won't be a norm. There's also no reason why a current state of the game couldn't be saved if someone d/c or left, until they return (or quit all together and not lose any cards).

I could also see players abusing force d/c if they are about to lose. Perhaps they would need to make the game reward you "Credits" instead of player cards. These "credits" could be used at NPC's for purchasing booster packs.

Either way, i'd be happy with either card game, but more if it were a brand new game.
