    I never liked FFXI so i have no intention of trying FFXIV. My days of playing FF ended with XXXII seeing how i don't have a Next Gen Console.
    I think it's sad to pass on a game due to it being the same type of game as XI. XIV is vastly different, even though they used many of the same or similar elements (such as races etc). XI was designed to be played with friends or allies. There was almost nothing you could do in battle without a party, because even the weakest enemies could overwhelm you. That said, I still think XI did what it did to perfection o_o. For the type of game it was, it was always heralded as a good MMO.

    XIV however, offers much more freedom. You can do a whole plethora of things from an early stage in the game and you can free roam at ANY time... Meaning, you can travel through the entirety of Eorzea single player without too many issues. Same goes for the battles in the world. It's onlywith stuff like dungeons and instanced raids you have to think about multiplayer. But because these only take a fixed amount of time to finish, you are never left with the feeling that you need to party up to complete something, because it just feels natural that it is how a dungeon works. I'd really recommend giving it a try. There is so much to do and it's easy to level up. It's kinda like playing a single player game where you can co-op whenever YOU want to, just that the world and gameplay elements are on a much larger scale than a single player.

    Big drawback which put me off the game......you "HAVE" to pay to play, and that is after you have already bought the game. Something I can't afford

    That was my biggie too. Technically still is, but then I realized that it's worth it.

    I. By now, buying a standard edition costs so little that "buying" the price doesn't do the game justice.
    II. The longer you subscribe or have subscribed for, the more additional bonus content you unlock.
    III. Subscription is cheap too and you get the first month for free.
    IV. It's an MMO that sees devoted attention and there are many updates, meaning you can always explore new things and you'll hardly run out of things to do even without the free updates. In other words, for just buying the game, you get way more than you would from a normal offline game. So see it more as "unfinished" or "new game" when you lengthen your subscription, rather than seeing it as a game with the same thing to offer from the moment you buy it till you finish the main story.

    When you say you need a next gen console, which one are you referring to? XXXII is 32, but there is no FF32, so I assume you mean XII, XIII, or XIII-2?

    I hate online fees as well but 15 bucks a month isn't too horrible. Kinda don't even notice once you get hooked to the game

    the game is cheap to begin with i would say if you brought the game and two months subscription you could probably complete all of the storyline for the price of a normal console game, plus you get 30 days free subscription, so you would get 3 months of play time at least. It was the only reason I brought the game because of the low price to begin with.

    Lol xD. Yeah the only issue I can think of at all, is exactly the matter of time. If you have a busy life, finding time for the game is very hard and may cause you to spend more time than you "should" when you finally get the chance. I do think this is an MMO thing though, of course.
