You know what really ticks me off. The fact that they made the MMO final fantasies in the main series numbering. It's the only series that I'm a completest with and I have to buy these POS MMOs because of my stupid addiction.
I'm basically the opposite, I've barely played any FF games, and am I not too fond of the JRPG genre in general. But I can enjoy the hell out of a good MMO (which is a rare thing these days for sure). I enjoyed FFXI but the period in my life where I had that much disposable time on my hands is long gone.
But I'm REALLY looking forward to XIV. Everything I read about it just reaffirms my primal need to play this game.
The last MMO I've been able to stay with past the trial period was LOTRO, and I really liked that game but the crappiness of it's latest xpac has driven me (and 3/4 of my guild) away from it.
And what else is out there atm is depressing:
Aion -- Crappy generic Korean grinder in a prettier package
Warhammer -- Just too many deep-seeded problems nthat will most likely never be fixed and its basically running on a skeleton crew of a dev team at the moment.
Age of Conan: -- Ok, I've actually heard this one has shaped up considerably but I still have no urge to return
And I just don't want to go back to WoW... >.<
