This reference almost slipped past me...

[Exn]

Suffice to say, the extremes it was taken to in FFXI caused two people I knew to swear to never set foot in the Aht Urghan zones. Don't really want to see that here.

LOL! Whoa how fail is that! Ppl actually didn't enter zones because they were afraid of using oils/powders?? Extremes? Yeah right.. I get you didn't like invis/sneak items in XI, but there was nothing wrong with the system, your friends were just terribad. Can't even feel bad saying that, cuz after 6 years of XI.. I have never heard sumthing so ridiculous.

I don't think ARR needs sneak/invisible, but I think it would a good thing to add if they had the time. I'd imagine alot of content has already been designed/planned around not having those ablities, so I'd doubt they could just add them in without revising alot of content. As for the OP, to me it just seemed like Fern was just making an XI reference, just to make an XI reference. But, here's hoping to it being more than that!
