FFXI was an amazing game and epic in scale. To those of us that invested entirely too much time in the game we learned how deep the game, because nothing was spoon fed to anyone playing the game. And anything earned really felt like an accomplishment. I actually feel grateful that FFIV ended up being crap because I got a lot of time back in my life. Haha I hope Square Enix can turn out another MMO with the complexity and depth of FFXI without required such a significant time commitment to play (like spending 2-3 hours just getting a party together and all the grinding / travel time)
