BUUUUUUUT

All of that means nothing to me anymore. They screwed combat SO BAD it's not even funny. It feels like a cruel joke to do any kind of grinding at lower levels and you can forget about soloing Behests. How nice of them to lower the timer to 30 mins only to find out you need to actively seek a group to do them...

Don't get me started on mages either

BROKEN!!!! Casting is retarded expensive and our physical attacks do jack SQUAT dmg so were forced to spam nukes and drain mp rapidly.

SE puts in exp chains, yet mobs take so long to kill now theres no way you're go to get them with anything less tan 2 to 3 ppl in a group.

This force to pt with ppl heavily turned me off from playing FFXI and is doing the same to me now with this patch.

SE should learn something from the most successful MMO ever WoW:

KEEP SOLO-ABILITY OR SCREW YOURSELF OVER.


I didn't think it was possible to dig past hitting rock bottom, but SE seems to have found a way to do so.

Just listen to the random outcries in shout and chat all over. If you're eyes aren't over-optimistic you just might see that ppl aren't digging this patch to well. Especially new players.

Talk about a bad start for PS3 players if they launch anytime soon lol.

Hopefully SE will address this seriously unbalanced combat QUICKLY.
Yeah...except none of what you mentioned is "broken" as you say it...
