Cutscenes!

[Seif]

I loved FFXI with all the cutscenes, got helped with immersion. ;_; miss them cutscenes

I agree. They were the reason I did so much questing in XI. A well told story was always a better reward than any gear or spell. (as a sidenote getting scrolls like warp II through a quest beats getting "worn underpants for the low level and different class" any day of the week)

I've yet to learn any npc's name in this whole game.
