As the title says, I played this game in Open Beta. Many things weren't up to scratch for me, building up into one huge let down, and that's me being as reserved as I can. Basically I liked nothing about it, besides the fantastic visuals. It's been some time since then and my thoughts came back to this game.

I'm wondering if any of you fine folks in the community could clue me in on any changes that have happened to this game since then? Has it improved a lot? Will it improve? Also, is it possible to make a character and acquire an outfit that makes me look like a black mage (love vivi from FF9, hehe)?

Thanks in advance for your time to those that respond.
