replyThe wording of the story makes it sound like they are not coming to the PS2. Not like I care, FFXI is a horrible, painful grind that requires you to play like it is sole function in life to get anywhere. I did play FFXI for a couple months but then played WoW for a couple hours and quit. Or at least tried damned hard to navigate the awful POL (POS is more like it) broswer and figure out how to cancel my account. I finally just had to call my bank and have them stop payments to Squeenix.

Yeah, just a typo. Thanks.

I can't disagree with almost anything you've said, but FFXI has a whole new way to lvl and has made it a lot more user friendly. For example, if you were partying at lvl 20 or so, anyone can now party with you by pressing a lvl sync option, so a lvl 70 could get XP with a lvl 20, but there armor is just scaled down for the lvl. So you don't need to look for parties as much, and both lvls are befitted.
