Check out Nasomi.com, a FFXI private server more akin to the 2005 era.

You focus too much on the negative.

I overlooked the author of this article before I started reading it, yet the entire time I was reading it I imagined your voice narrating it Mike. To me that shows talent. You are a true inspiration sir. Yes I have been drinking, and no that hasn’t clouded my judgement. Please keep up the good work, and thank you for…

wtf did I just watch?

Crap, I just realized you did make this video. Sorry about the narrotion comment, although it could use a little bit of work. And yes Trigedge, I used to be Newt on Diabolos from FFXI until they shut that server down. Who were you on FFXI?

Did you make this video? If not, you really should give the author of the video credit for the article since it’s word for word from the video. (my apologizes if you did make the video, it’s just the narrorater sounds like a 15 year old boy)

What kind of MMO style do you prefer? (for example, old school exp grinders, or new cookie cutter raiders)

I'll agree with you that this game is a let down. After playing FFXI for damn near 10 years I was really hoping for something still in the style of FFXI aside from aesthetics . I was even looking for some of the so called causal game play idea's they were mentioning.
