Just got this game...

I remember when everyone told me I was gonna get bored with the game within a month, and you know? I didn't.

If you take your time with the game, find some good friends, don't constantly rush to cap level, you'll never run out of things to do.

Don't get me wrong, the game still lacks a lot. But I wouldn't say content, cuz we have:

Regional and local levequests - every 36 hours
Behests - every 30 minutes
Guilds Tasks - every day
20 mid-level NMs, perfect for when you reach rank25-30 in some class, and join some friends to get better equipment
Main quests - every other level and although very easy, the story and cutscenes are very good
Class quests - every other rank for every class
Sidequests - very well written and fun to do when you wanna take a break from the rest

The only thing we're missing is a dungeon. And all the other modes FFXI had cuz of its multiple expansions.

To me, the only problem with this game is that levequests became its core - the center of levelling, when it shouldn't be. They should be aimed for more casual playing. So, if you're aiming to get to level cap as quick as possible, you'll only do levequests/behests and come back whining about how there's no content. If you want an MMO to play with ur friends and have fun, ull find plenty to do.

in other words play maybe an hour a day and never do leves with your friends = not rushing to cap and running out of things to do. you do realize that even though i only have a very small group(5 counting me) i do leves with and never grind battle at all it is very easy to get multiple 50's easily right?

this game severely is missing content. it only has enough content for you if you solo everything and do nothing in game.

I actually started playing more recently cuz I got in a very good LS, so I play around 6-7 hours a day and do leves with my LS (in a party of 5) each reset.

We're just taking our time, we love to explore and get the aetherial nodes, crafting or even spend a day NM hunting or glitching Ul'Dah xD And I'm not saying that its not easy to get to 50, cuz it is. I'm just saying that if you get a good group of ppl, u'll always find some enjoyment in this game.

But I understand your point of view. But, as I say, I don't believe its lacking content - just goals for the players to achieve like you said (which technically can be viewed as content I guess XD)

i completely agree it's the group of people i have made friends with, whether it is my ls mates or others i have met in game, that make the game enjoyable. i went and got the chance to meet a few of my ls mates this past weekend. they are awesome people. we met up and went out and had dinner and played at the casinoes a few hours.
