I agree with the OP for the most part, the game is terrible and i can't belive it can be salvaged, after 2 months of playing i dont feel like loging in at all and i really wanted to give it a try and play while it's free... but everything is so boring, and these updates don't seem to be bringing anything that would turn the game decent. i might just login in a month to try a chocobo maybe...

Anyway that's my opinion, the part i just dont't agree is where you say every FF besides IX and X, those were awesome but i'm gonna pretend u said every FF besides X-2, XII and XIII xD. I also played every FF game and used to love Square but they have been disapointing me non-stop since 2002, being FFXI the last final fantasy worthy of it's title
