@ sol and rai
that is true i was following ffxiv for a while, and I was happy it was going to be a and these are tanaka words "a less time consuming game"
I have time to play ffxi but even I agree some events took to long to get through. Dynamis comes to mind. fun event anyone had acess to it. But the runs were long. When i did dynamis my LS i was in for a mnth was 11pm gather and the run would end about 1-2am. I was pretty mucg falling asleep. My exb/f who played ffxi, has a full time job but always played ffxi when he got home till he went to bed. And due to a sleeping issue he couldn't do dynamis like he wanted to. : / He was lucky to do a few runs but due to his work and needing a sleep sced. he could do alot of ffxi content. And he wasn't what you call a casual player. He started ffxi in pc launch, ran his own LS (that was huge) and help anyone and everyone. He was well liked on oyr server also, it seemed EVEREYONE knew him.
