Props to an awesome game, but I just cannot "connect"

Good article opinionated blog post on why FFXIV should of been more like FFXI instead

Fixed that for you.

The only way to "connect" to the jobs the way you want to is to play a tabletop RPG. Check out some D&D or Pathfinder. An MMORPG simply can't handle that much complexity without some major balance problems (see FFXI already mentioned in this thread)
