I agree. If any of the ideas I posited (I had to remove the /sarcasm at the end because 1000 characters) were implemented in an MMO these days, I'd say "hi. bye!".

Just to be fair to those playing FFXI, I decided to actually play the game for a month.
Maybe.

The first major problem -- I had to go and change values in the Windows Registry to make the graphics look any good. Why should this be an issue in 2016?

The second major problem -- there is no clue provided about "how to do anything" in game without resorting to the Internet for inspiration.

The third major problem -- I still haven't figured out how to change the map so I can see the entire starting area ... because of this little issue, I haven't even gotten to the market.
