Anyone trying out the FFXIV beta

[Complication]

Just thought I would throw it out and see if anyone is in the beta and trying it out or if they are in it what do they think?

I had a collectors edition pre-ordered but then cancelled after reading a lot of things that bothered me about the game and decided to do a wait and see on it.

Obviously not sure what is correct and what is not, but it was enough that I figured I can always pick up a CE at a later date, and will let the masses chunk through a few weeks of pain before I determine what the deal is.

Any thoughts?

Linear Quest Based Rock Paper Scissors games that require button mashing and based on item's gained on the sheer number of hours played don't much appeal to the majority of us.   


Personally speaking, anyone who enjoys the Asian Grind Fests...to each his own.

I'm planning on playing. Currently in the open beta. I haven't really played the game more than an hour, but the first thing I noticed is how absolutely AMAZING the graphics are. I might have to play just to explore every area in the game, nothing more.

As for gameplay.. Some shit still needs to get sorted out, it is beta after all.. But I think if they launch now, it'd still be more solid than when AoC launched.. Which ain't saying much.
