1)Well for the beta I just wanted to join a random world and try out the new gameplay. I joined Goblin world for the heck of it and rolled an archer Taru named Cyrill Figgus (will awlays call them by their FFXI names) I played FFXI for 6ish years, yeeeea.2) NOT YET! Still in beta, but it’s a purdy game full of cat boys and buff ladies now :O!3) From what I played and what the game originally was. I quit 3 days into the first beta. Now I’m kinda liking it. They have normal quests that line up almost perfectly with your leveling. No horrible instanced, 3 a day kind of mission bullshit. I haven’t quite figured out all the combat bits, but I only made it to lvl12. It slows down drastically once you reach 10. I wish I had some people to play with, but it’s pretty easy going solo to 10. Also there are Group events that are pretty fun. I had someone dedicated to healing me, I then tanked a huge plant monster as a archer @_@ (everyone else sucked) I had to tell them to ad dots, but it was fun when we killed it. It’s more FFXI meets WOW/guildwars2 now. Pretty smooth, but I don’t bother reading any of the mission text to be honest. The game is super text heavy (as all FF games are) and the cutscenes are just as heavy. Nothing too innovative yet, but some of the things I absolutely loved in FFXI are in this game. I love any open event where you have to protect a town from oncoming waves of monsters. I did an event where you kill a bunch of huge SPEEDY slugs. Everyone was running around like chickens and not focusing down the monsters one at a time, but hopefully I find competent people later *crosses fingers*I played PLD, BLM, and BRD in FFXI. So I was excited to see BRD and ARC merged into one in this game. I want to play more Marauder and Tharumage. I’m a huge sucker for awesome heavy armor and tanking classes. But you can play everything in this game @_@ -- source link
