So, pretty dead lately....

I say all that and I've never actually played XI. But I wish I had. Because it sounds awesome.

Then go play it. Right now. You can buy the all-inclusive edition with every expansion for super cheap on Steam. Go, go get it! Stop reading this post and go start playing FFXI! It's right there waiting for you.

I'll be here in two hours when you come back to tell everyone how horrifically outdated and poorly designed the game is.

"Do I want to do X? Or do I want to do Y? Or Z? They're all viable forms of progression."

This already exists. Your problem is that you don't like the variety that has been offered.
