Eureka - from a FFXI point of view

[Binahel]

as many people already pointed out, this content for now it's just the most basic and mindless part of FFXI without anything else.
FFXIV has completely different combat system that add only stress to the grind, a relatively (albeit well done) small area with nothing interesting in it so far and no LFG system - you must shout like in Jeuno 2008.

I am a mega FFXI faboy, I bought FFXIV 1.0 hoping it was a clone of FFXI... so i really fail to understand exactly what they wanted to put into this content that would make someone like me reminiscent of the old days.
All we have are the problems we had back in time in the Valkrum Dunes, without the updates the FFXI team developed to coutner them.

I do not understand.
