A lot of people are dogging FFXI, but honestly if it was as bad as they make it seem, the game wouldn't be around for almost nine years. And if people are going to offer criticism at least let it be positive and reinforcing.
I agree with this to a point... The "battle mode" was much more interesting, and macros made things work- though I also like the idea of free running while fighting, but non-action bar mashing battles are also quite fun. Though- I'd much prefer it to be much faster and more fluid than XI
