Is it time to Sunset FFXIV?

[AnimaAnimus]

and FFXI is still going relatively strong at a higher sub price too.

FFXI was created with a lot of care. Content was thought out and designed to be engaging. Gear lasts a long time so even the heavy grinds are worthwhile since you will use that piece for years. Basically they put a lot more love and thought into XI and it shows. And its because they were trying to make a good FF game and not babies first mmo and a dress up manga.
