I can be like the OP too...

exactly what i mean. now wait til 3 years from now and get a xiv video and compare it to that xi video and you really can be like the op.

Or a comparative of how you had a role/purpose in 11 while this system is an utter joke?

I think this is definitely what this thread is/should be about.

EDIT: Lmao I was thinking that comparing Alpha Battle System in XIV to FFXI Battle System is like comparing how smart a baby is to a 20-year-old college student. :P

Honestly, is it that different? Is the Alpha game all that better than what it is now? A joke is a joke. The punchline is just a tad bit different now.

Protip: People get it but it kills their argument/stance/counterargument so they dance around it.

People exaggerate how hard it was to get/make a party in 11 like no one who actually played the game wouldn't notice.

no it was that bad. When monks couldn't pull high dmg i had a party once maybe twice a mnth and I played everyday. This was @ 55ish way before treasures game out. I had to solo mnk mostly, not fun. ffxi after the first year ( of ps2 us launch) ppl started to only like certain jobs/ combos. Even whm started having tough time getting parties due to rdm or smn/whm being the more popular healers.

They can just go do the endless dancing in other MMOs then. :P

Anyways, I'm amused at how anyone can have the balls to post a thread comparing the battle system of 8+ year-old game to a battle system of a game in Alpha Phase (Non-Retail). I've seen some rather intelligent posts here and there, more so than I thought I would, but when crap like this comes around, I just get the urge to make sense of what the hell is going on here.

Also, I still find it a bit hard to get parties as a Monk 56, but after Abyssea came out, people have been desperate to get a 6-man party to do some Abyssea. I've been invited plenty of times, but how silly of me, to not purchase Abyssea but to know that I can get to lvl 90 within a few days worth of playing.

Might as well add in some micro transactions for Dragon Chronicles so you can sit there and lvl up without fighting anything. Great fun.

The game did go to retail and the battle system sucks. What don't you get?
