So emotional!! Both FFXI and FFXIV are adding new things. With 3.1 releasing on nov 10, that's really going
to add a lot more things to do. plus they are improving lots of things, like now lv. 50 dungeons will add experience
points, so people have more exp options besides FATES for the leveling their first levels towards level 60.
Normally people would do coerthas or north than fates until level 51, then do Dusk Vigil until level 53, but
with updates like this, now people have a wide selection of dungeons to choose from an gain experience points
from, so the early level 50 leveling (and leveling options in general) variety is greatly expanding, also furthering
the value of running those level 50 dungeons that used to only give gil from enemies. So now doing full clears
of the dungeons rewards great exp to level faster, and that's just one tiny example of the things 3.1 is adding.
Plus it's great FFXI is being supported with new things too. FFXI is my first true mmorpg and really is awesome
in its own ways, though of course FFXIV is user friendly, but at the sametime has its hardcore side as well.
