The author of the post makes a great point about every action in FFXI combat carrying "immense weight" when determining the outcome of the battle.

Did any of you ever play Final Fantasy XI? It had a very tactical/strategic combat system for an MMORPG that didn't rely much on twitch reflexes. Rather, it was slow paced and forced the player to think in advance before executing their next move. The combat was especially strategic at higher levels for mages when engaged in a lengthy combat because managing buffs/debuffs, mp levels and timing were all vital components of combat.

Oh my.

Ah, alright.

Thanks for the information! :) I'll definitely be on the lookout. I don't really care so much about all the other extra stuff, I just want to get in the action as early as possible so I can provide feedback, etc.

Is it too late to donate so that I could get in Early Enrollment for PFO? I didn't realize this game was being made until just last week...
