FFXIV battle system

Don't forget about Avesta, the most famous RDM soloer ever. I loved how XI's job system was so well done that it allowed for crazy combinations and a job like RDM to truly flourish - NIN was often the defacto sub, but there was some pretty wild and crazy sruff you could do with Dancer, Beastmaster and Blue Mage subs. Buy FFXIV Gil I wish we could get an MMO like XI again, but with the improvements made in 14 because quite frankly while I adored 11 to pieces, it had many failings that I think people get overly nostalgic and forget about like sub-1% drop rates, an entirely RNG crafting system (though the simplicity was appreciated) convoluted menus with redundant abilities and ridiculous time constraints (plus the quests were way too sparse with the details - XIV goes too far practically holindg your hand 24/7 but still).

But XI will always (IMO) have the superior battle system, job system, challenge, story, lore & presentation (music is about equal honestly as Soken is proving himself a magical musician). Cheap FFXIV Gil I just miss how Vana'diel felt more like an immersive world with real teeth as opposed to a glorified obstacle course that acts as a backdrop to a bunch of flavor-of-the-month content that you will mostly do with people you don't even know from other servers...FFXI was probably my favorite years gaming ever. I remember starting RDM and thinking in the Dunes, this is awesome! I get to fight in the front lines with a sword and cast magic too! I didn't last with RDM much longer once I was relegated to the backlines and turned into a refresh whore lol.

June can't get here fast enough. Gimme dat sweet fencing Red Mage.  "Look ye where the sun doth rise"The future, as in expansion. "See crimson embers, dark'ning skies"Crimson alludes to the expansions name, Stormblood; Darkening skies implies some tragedy for the end of Heavensward."Look ye where the sun doth fall" As Heavensward is coming to a close."See azure lost amidst the squall"See something BLUE (azure is a type of blue), and squall is a kind of storm, hence Stormblood.  It could also reference the fact that we don't know where Estinien is currently, he's effectively lost to us for now, and was the Azure Dragoon for a good time. You can read anything into it if you try.
