    I havent looked into FFXIV but is it anything like FFXI? I guess I could look up youtube videos to see some of it. Just trying to get an idea if it is something I would keep interest in or if it will be like so many other games that I have lost interest in so quickly.

      Honestly, no one knows at the moment. But long story short we'll have to wait until 2.0 beta starts before we know. <_<


      The current version of the game (which you wouldn't be able to access even if you wanted to anyway) is the result of a year of patches and fixes, and is for all intends and purposes discontinued except for this server(s) that will keep going for people who want to keep playing the old game for a little while longer.

        Ok thank you. I will just have to wait and see.... maybe I will end up trying FFXIV. I don't see myself leaving FFXI for it but having both is a possibility.
