most people dont like FF because they were assholes to ppl and got alienated, dont have any patience, can't grasp deep game mechanics, or prefer too be the best as fast as possible. (which is ironic since someone is already there before you lol.)
FFXI is about taking your time and thinking about things before you do it. It doesnt suck, you just dont like that part of it.
all the "problems" you people are claiming you're blowing way out of proportion.
you say there is a lack of customization but what about in WoW? at endgame there is basically one gear setup everybody identifies as best and once you get it you're in the same boat. not too mention the fugly character models and halfassed spell effects. Sure there arent alot of armor skins in the game. But all of them are made 10x better then the WoW "slap some new colors on the same geometry" armors.
I have played WoW and it would be fun for about 2 weeks at a time. Then I would be back in FFXI.
in short, it you want a tight social group, intricate teamwork, lots of content, deep mechanics. Play FFXI
if you want no socialization, people only exist for you to gank, some repeatable content, cut and dry mechanics. Play WoW.

But yes, what he/she said was so true. You can be an idiot can play this game, but you have to be a nice idiot. This game revolves around communities and working together. Most people who play MMORPGs are childish degenerates who don't understand human interaction through the internet, so they have to cope by playing sub par games that don't require half an iota of intellegence or social skill. Isn't that overwhelmingly pathetic once you think about it? Your social life sucks in real life, and your social life sucks on the internet. There are no other social lives!
I play FFXI and I breeze through it like it's WoW. Although I can never be the first to do anything, I can enjoy the fact that I've done a lot that most people havn't. My ability to interact and mesh with other people makes this game so easy to play. The fact that this game is more challenging than most college level classes makes it so easy to enjoy.
Unfortunately I have to make it clear that I'm insulting a lot of you, so there it is, me making it clear.

Damn Sturm, you are the coolest guy I've ever known. I want to be just like you! A person who see's players as losers, but since he is such a bad ass at a game, he is the best looser. And before you insult others people's intelligence, at least learn how to spell it man. And what does "You can be an idiot can play this game" mean? If FFXI is more challenging than a college class, how do you survive? Come on brother, get a life. I can't tell if your cocky or just ashamed of yourself.
This game doesn't suck. There are milestones throughout the game, each different depending on job and class. Each are challenging, but very satisfying. LFG can take time, but a good party is very rewarding. I would say the "sink or swim" skill is crafting. Some give into RLT, which just makes it that much harder on everyone else.
Sorry Sturmwind for being personnel, but I feel you offending MMORPG players in general. I know even replying to your comments makes me just as childish, but admit I am far from perfect.

Notice the irony created with the first and last paragraphs? I must quote the old addage here, "Pick apart a man's arguement, not the way he presents it." Yes, you're far from perfect, so very far.
Sorry to derail and interrupt this thread, but as for the current flow of this conversation is going I'd like to direct your attention to my thread in this forum.
Thank you to the people who take the time to read this and come to a clear conclusion of the two games, and instead of blatently bashing a game when they have not spent a substantial amount of time on both games they are comparing. Sorry again for derailing the thread.
I cannot say that this game sucks, nor that it does not. What I can say is this: I got tired of playing it. I hit Lvl 75 with a War/Nin, and I just simply lost interest. The quests seemed a bit off in my opinion, but solid. I never liked the fact that you could not solo much at all if ever beyond Lvls 10-20. Then again... All games posted in the threads here as to the many-times-over asked question "Does it suck?" is 100% all about opinions, and a LOT (Almost all) of you people have lost sight of that. Anyone who answers a thread with "This game sux cuz I sed so." has NO right to even be out of their daycare supervisions, let alone on a computer typing in a forum. If you like a game, stick with it. If you hate the game, state why you hate it without sounding like an immature Emo wanna-be with attention deficit problems, and tell people the actual reason why you don't like the game. Even if your reason is "I suck at pressing buttons, and I cannot kill a Rarab." It still sounds better than "This game sux." AND makes you look about 78% smarter than the other mental midgets.
