Hi percival, it's funny to run across this because I was just feeling a little burnt out on the whole of the game, or at least life on cactuar. I've run into soooo many people recently who are only interested in the business of the grind, progression or otherwise. Little, if any, random chat or casual discussion. Lots of angry farmers being angry at farming while farming angrily. Maybe I've had shit luck with the community, or maybe I've become part of the problem by becoming reclusive, but I miss dunes/barrens style banter. I currently love most of the mechanics and game design. I actually adore FATES, probably because I've never used them as a level grinding tool and as of now only have one atma weapon. What I'm missing in game is the feeling of community. Not progression dot inc, but the feeling of interaction. Nice to know others are out there just wondering how everyone's doing. =D
