![]() and at 20? well, i hope you enjoy your day long grind sessions. Leveling in the game is a joke, at the start you gain ranks and physical levels like there's no tomorrow, but after hitting rank 10, the learning curve steeps up so drastically you're spending the next couple hours praying you gain SP off a mob. Nothing is ever middle of the road in this game, you spend hours upon hours crafting to make a piece of gear. Seems decent, right? Wrong, if it requires a dye, you have to find the dye to buy it, or go find the material to make the dye yourself (an Alchemy synth) most require leather, normally dyed. along with any materials from other crafts. To make a single cloth armor piece, it requires the yarn to be made into cloth, the cloth is then made into back piece, front piece, and sleeves (if it has any). Once you realize to make anything, you're required to branch out into 5 other crafts, the weight of their system really comes crashing down. Crafting in the game is fun, for a whole five minutes. Walking in alone, you wait for a minute before the Retainer NPCs load, and you proceed to go through each bazaar, hoping to find the item you seek. The lack of an Auction House is easily overlooked, as most games lack an AH at their release, but the Market Wards, SE's main way for players to sell their wares via Retainers, is a cluster mess of annoyance. In a game with no auto-attack, a spell being devoured by the lag spells death for a caster. Issues are still everywhere, with casters having the biggest one I've found Sometimes your spell will just not cast. Getting to your inventory alone takes forever, as you have to wait for the server lag to open your menu, then you have to wait for the lag once more, just to open your inventory. Being a SE Fanboy myself, i had high hopes for this game, sadly the clunky User Interface hampers any hopes of doing anything in a quick manner. Being a SE Fanboy myself, i had high hopes for this game, Square Enix's recent venture into the MMORPG realm has fallen flat on it's face.

And on the Craft Leves, nothing beats not having to use up your items/shards and still be able to get Rank Points for your choice of craft. And with "Guardian Aspect", it's a good chance to get some really good Rank Points in a short amount of time. It also lets you fight mobs that you may not have even seen yet i.e. 2.) LEVES: -These "cards" you get from the adventurers guild are pretty fun and a way to get some extra gil and some pretty good items. Lets say I learn "Cure II" and "Stoneskin" from CON, "Provoke" from GLA, and "Second Wind" on PGL but then I want to play as an Archer.I can *equip* all of those abilities and spells and use them on Archer also! If you love playing a certain job but you also want a great ability from a couple of other jobs, then rank up those other jobs for that specific ability and then go back to playing your favorite job. you learned from that particular job on a different job. I personally prefer the DoM and DoW classes but thats one of the things I really like about FFXIV.there's something for everyone! With that being said I also would like to mention the fact that you can rank up jobs and can use most of the abilties, spells, etc. I am a bit surprised at the amount of people in the game that prefer DoL and Crafting jobs in lieu of the standard DoM (Disciples of Magic) or DoW (Disciples of War) classes. ![]() ![]() Which include Fisherman, Botanist, and Miner. Not to mention the DoL jobs (Disciples of the Land). There is so much more to crafting in FFXIV. You might be able to craft or something (like FFXI and WoW) but it wasn't really a class of its own that you could choose. In MMO's that I've played you can choose between different DoW (Disciples of War) or DoM (Disciples of Magic) jobs. I'll name a few that I really enjoy: 1.) The job system. FFXIV offers many things I personally have never seen in a MMO (and I've played a few). And if you haven't played FFXIV yet, now is the time to do so. So if you got frustrated and quit the game, which quite a few people did, give it another try. Anyone reading reviews would always hear about how bad the UI was, right? Well, it is ALOT better now! I can not put into words how much better the game-play is now in FFXIV since that update. I have been playing FFXIV since the CE edition and I can truly say that FFXIV did an AMAZING job in the November 25 Update. With all MMO's just starting out, there are many issues and "bugs" to fix and I wanted to give FFXIV time to do that. FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE REVIEW UPDATEWith all MMO's just starting out, there are many I wanted to wait until the first main update of FFXIV before I sent in a review of the game.
