And it has. I don't see your point.
Did you play at 1.0 launch? Because I have a really hard time believing that anybody here would actually consider 1.00 of this game to be anywhere near as good as what we have now, much less "better." I know that nostalgia goggles are quite a thing, but do you remember the 2+ second menu delay involved in every single UI command? How it would take 5+ minutes to sell off your vendor trash? How finding anything on the market wards involved manually walking from retainer to retainer, targeting them, opening the system menu, selecting "Check", browsing their inventory, closing the menu, then repeating dozens of times? How it was pretty much impossible to reliably compare prices on anything? How there was literally nothing to do but levequests?
I can totally respect an opinion wherein someone doesn't like the style of the game today, but glossing over the huge number fundamental problems that the original game had is pretty crazy.
This. ARR is a vast improvement upon 1.0 and 1.23. But the problem is that unrealistic people expect that a 2 month old MMO should have the same amount of content as a 10 year old game. Completely ridiculous expectation.
That was because FFXI was out for a year in Japan before it was sold in western countries.
You're in the minority. Hell, even FFXI doesn't take more than a couple days to a week to cap now.I miss the time where it took months to hit level cap.
