I never had a problem with the skill-up system. In fact I liked it because seeing those point increases were like little bit of instant gratification that progress is being made. I feel like in 14 not enough visual aid to leveling is shown. It just feel like a mindless nothingness is going on when leveling. And I never spent 5 hours going for .5 on anything. I always was able to reach max skill during leveling sessions and I actually had fun doing skill up parties to level up odd weapons (club for DRK, great sword for drk, sword for SAM, etc.) I thought it was a great idea

I loved the strict party requirements too, My friendships and relationships with people in that game were so great because I was forced to interact and I love it. Every job seemed to have a purpose in combat yet they could be interchanged quite well also with flexibility. I loved alliance fights, EXP was great, not really boring or anything for me, maybe in the late 70's before Treasures bird pt's were around but after that expansion it sped back up.

There were a lot of things about XI I liked when I played from 2003-2008. I really agree XI now might be kinda screwed but I have not played it since I started losing interest. (For me i eventually realized I was just in it for the gear and the endless loop of going for new gear patch to patch was not doing it for me anymore; this was while SE was still developing the main story for wings of the goddess a while after it was released).

So yeah, part of me wants XI-2 but I still like to see a serious new direction on top of it.
