Gaius though was sadly underwhelming as an opponent, which greatly disappointed me as I was long looking forward to a one on one fight with him after what he did to my Path Companion in 1.0, and he folded so easily. To say nothing of Regula.
    In defense of Gaius you could argue he was past his prime and canonically fought the WoL and 7 other "mercenaries" at once based on the fact that other party members appear in cutscenes whereas with a lot of boss fights it's assumed that the WoL fights them on their own.

    And then the WoL who cant defeat a single person alone left his/her friends to die because there was only one mount to ride out of that. (Interestingly in the German speech text of some bosses in those two instances they only talk like we are alone and I really hope that we are canonically alone there. Maybe we left those adventurers behind at the start of the instances and went on alone. Otherwise beating up all those solo fights with 7 other people would feel shameful. )

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
