Except that the family of three that would have bought it at 60, won't buy 3 copies at $20, because by then, new games without new headaches will be out, they'll just skip the game entirely. And the reseller won't buy it for 40, because he only wants the latest and greatest, which is why he consistently resells his games long before the initial price has dropped.

Don't forget that leveling in FFXI requires massive amounts of exp which can essentially only be obtained through partying since quests give negligible amounts of exp (if any). 4-5+ hours of grinding per level from 50-75 (not counting time spent organizing a party) is hardly casual player friendly. The level down patch has renewed my interest somewhat since I can now at least play with friends, but the impact on the already few good camp areas has yet to be seen / felt.
