They've fixed up a lot of little touches that make the game a lot nicer. The biggest addition in content was the side quests and NMs, but last night they also added guild job boards. What else I don't know, I haven't had a chance to play and test it out. However, I have enjoyed all the changes.

Now that I am getting a bit higher in rank, I've been exploring more, and I've found there are some really interesting places in the world. Dips and valleys, or twists and turns in Gridania, will hide caves and interesting monsters that suddenly scale in level. I love to explore, so I'm having fun with this. They've also released a small amount of information on the Grand Companies, so thats been exciting.

The battle system hasn't been changed yet, so that's a pretty major thing. The feel of the game could change when that happens, hopefully for the better. While I personally enjoy the game, I don't think many other gamers would enjoy the battle system as is.

I haven't played FFXI, so I can't compare it, but I still have high hopes for this game. I have enjoyed it so far, but I still think it can be better.
