Yesssss. I got suckered into this game a few months ago, and god drat did I love it. This game oozes more charm than anything else SE's released in the last ten years or so. This game does a ton of great things, and with a decent story to boot.

I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the LP unfold.

I liked it too - only I was playing as a GLAD.

I stopped playing about level 32 or so, just after getting my PLD soul. Was finding it more and more difficult to solo storyline quests, and I was on the JPN Server, so not many english speaking guilds, and eventually gave up.

I'm familiar enough with the mechanics of tanking from wow that I was able to transpose it easily enough so that actually tanking wasn't a huge issue, it was primarily the lack of damage that was making it difficult to do anything on a solo basis. I assume the inverse would be true if I were to play something non tanky.

I think I'm done with FFXIV - it was definitely fun to play, but I honestly have no desire to replay a new character through enough of the story to catch up to where I was, even though the mechanics were relatively fun. Too time consuming for my tastes (see - peoples 4 digit time played itt :p )

Purely personal opinion but you're focussing on the minutiae too much. While some of the information's pretty good and probably not commonly known, it's also kind of dry as a result. I am enjoying it though, but it might be worth it to get started on the main or class story.
