Everyone here is suffering from FFXIV withdrawal. It is hard to just sit and twiddle your collective thumbs and do NOTHING. Nevertheless, remember Alpha is not ARR... it is just some stuff cobbled together. Animations, gear, characters etc are not what will be in ARR. We have to wait until Jan or Feb next year for Beta. Beta will be worth criticizing. And everyone will be able to try out Beta. It is the real game, if incomplete. Remember, not even hairstyles will be finished when ARR actually releases. So it is gonna be awhile before we can actually effectively critique the game and its tidley parts.
