1.23a Patch Notes!!!

You're wrong, but let's not get into that here.

Almost everyone I talked to on my LS in FFXI say the game is better now then pre 75 where everything was so hard to organize groups for and had crap drop rates. Abyssea let you gear up in a decent amount of time.

I know, all jobs lvl 99 in 2 weeks (less actually) all geared in no time, Abyssea is just easy mode, give me a good old Dynamis where one wrong move would wipe a linkshell, or (in the case of windy) one wrong move meant the rest of the run was almost impossible any day over "Lets duo this with a WAR and WHM" and the awesome "You can't proc GTFO and level something useful" yeah loads better when my SCH and DRG struggled to get into fights just cos they couldn't proc as well as other jobs, and oh yeah "we only want as many jobs as we need so there's less competition." so much better.

Maybe if you're starting from the last lvl cap and only have a few lvls to go, sure.

If you're new however: It takes 1,894,800 exp to go from 30 to 99, so across 20 jobs that's 37,896,000 exp. Assuming you're in an average party getting 100k/hr, that's 378 hours of nonstop exping 24/7. So just over 2 weeks if you never ever log out and are always exping. That's not taking into account that you still need to grind to 30, adding additional time required.

i agree with you what if they included legion in realm reboron where you fough hnm after hnm like lets say ifrit then garuda then moogle the the gc end boss and then then the new hard bosses ect
either way they will make it so no endgamer will cry
