Your wrong. I do not want a single-player rpg. I want an MMO that FOCUSES on high fantasy adventures. I need a few things in an MMO:
1. Fun Battles.
2. Comradery (wont get that in a single player rpg).
3. Loot (by this I mean actual gear drops).
4. Epic Storylines.

So far FFXIV only holds the promise of #4. I have every faith in SE to excel at #4 and to creat some great content. But because of the current crafting system I'm a bit worried about #3. And because of lack of party dynamics and strategy, and lack of class uniqueness I'm worried about #1 and #2. Also the way the battle system is, will indirectly effect #2, due to less chatting which in my opinion lessens community and communication vastly more so than crafting interactions.
