I watched the intro movie again today and...

1. It's called faction leve, but most people kinda forgot about it. Do leve to get Faction Credit, do the prequisite Faction leve then the final one you have an "NM" and they drop rune that you can exchange for Unique equipment.

Unfortunately, there's no much need to do the faction leves other than to get those drops for achievement, but not much need for that still, as you can buy the items dropped via faction leves in wards (last time I checked they were almost dirt cheap).

It's a bit of a paradox how you need to grind more leves to get faction points than you need to do for the actual Ifrit/Mog pre-quest.

Funny how SE makes you grind regional leves for 400 points needed for a NM leve and reward you with an item that now has nearly no real value. They seem to like doing stuff like that, so I'm not really surprised. . .

They do make me go like this often though:

Funny how this happens in every MMORPG out today.

I'd have to disagree, I've played plenty of both p2p and f2p games out there, but it's FFXIV that really gets me confused with some odd solutions (to say the least).
