Yet another change to make FFXIV just like every other MMO on the market. I'm so incredibly tired of the "every other 'modern' MMO has this, get with the times" argument. Just because the masses are doing it does not make it an ideal solution for every game.

The more I hear about the game, the more I'm convinced that SE is not targeting their built in audience (the Everquest/FFXI crowd), but that they're going after the WoW crowd. This is not inherently good or bad, but it does mean that the new FFXIV just may not be the game for me, and thats very disappointing. I haven't given up hope yet, but I'm also much less excited about 2.0 than I was 6 months ago.
