Yeah I try to be patient and optimistic as well but seeing all the juicy things that FFXI is getting, all those update teasers this week... and no news for us on FFXIV yet. Kinda disappointing.
I know it's a different development team and I know the FFXIV dev team is busy with redoing the basics, but 6 months in some of us do kinda wish that these silly changes to the basics could be done already so we could get actual content for once. Like those voidwatch battles FFXI is getting, seems fun.
