This is what im seeing on the english side of the forums since I created my account today. Now i know there will never be complete unity but this is a major battle that probably won't be won until alot more patches arrive. Me im stuck in the middle i don't know about everyone else. I am a ffxi veteran with 7 years under my belt BUT i have played other MMOs also so i don't completely agree with making this FFXI-2 as some statements lean towards. I don't however want this to be like WoW and be easy mode. I also played WoW for 2 years(even the latest cata xpac). Still not a fan of the game but always felt FFXIV should meet somewhere in the middle. It should give plenty of OPTIONS to level BUT give the best way and most rewarding to those that seek parties. This way those that don't have much time can still progress. This i believe is one of the major factors that allowed WoW to prosper so much(just way too easy for my tastes).
