In NA, FFXI released one year after it did in JP

[Kobushi]

good so we agree its a better system.

It is also a not finished battle system. To judge now would be silly but its pretty clear most people like where its headed.

We can agree it was bad combat system and now it's a less bad combat system. I still think it's boring as hell, the only way i can follow what's going on is when i solo, every party is just a skill spam nightmare and u can't really follow the battle log at all to see who did what and when...

See the point here is that SE launched this game we were all excited about and it turned out inferior to many people expectations and now they have most of the people thinking the game is not finished and most stuff is incomplete and sure it was ok at 1st when the game was 1 to 6 months old... but how long do they really expect you to wait for the game so called completion lol, too me it just lacks too much and by your logic i'll only be able to judge it fully in another year or so.
Anyway i'm happy for people like you who support the game, enjoy it and have hope in it's future, it's not up to my standards, not just this one SE has been deacreasing progessively on the quality of every FF game after XI and i feel it'll never be the same, i wanna stick around and see this through at least for a few more updates but i'm not expecting anything anymore
