So, how is Pagos?

you know ... the more I keep hearing people saying Eureka is like FFXI, it kinda makes me glad I was playing WoW/GW2 during that time and missed the boat.

People who say Eureka is like FFXI have never actually played FFXI.

FFXI actually had a point to grinding mobs, you leveled and got new gear and abilities to use. Chaining mobs was infinitely more engaging because mobs weren't just HP sponges and had abilities you had to watch out for. Combat was also slower paced so you weren't killing your hand to play, and that slower pace also meant you had time to talk strategy during the fight or just socialize.

Dude no joke, I just had someone today told the party to "stop chatting" while we were grinding. And we weren't really chatting, we were just arranging pull for maximum up time.

Indeed, plus the mechanics on how they aggro'd you made for some interesting pull strategies. Like how the undead's aggro range was bigger the lower HP you had, which I saw some groups use to their advantage to get large groups of mobs to take care of.
