FFXI now available as digital download and free trial {Massively}
Oct 11th 2008 2:25AM They have increased the amount of XP off EP (easy prey) mobs. But leveling solo outside of roughly lvl 12-15 is pretty nasty.
However, the new leveling system was introduced in the Sep. update. It allows players of any level to participate with lower level players. The mode allows a player to maintain current gear without having to buy new lower level equipment. If for instance a lvl 75 player parties with a level 20 player, and the mode is switched on, the lvl 75 players stats and gear stats will be reduced the that of a level 20 player. This way he can party with the level 20 player and still receive max XP with no reduction from the level difference as occurred previous to the update. This mode works for any level player. And all players levels in the party will be reduced to that of the lowest level player.
This way you don't have to search for players of your level. You can find needed jobs of any level, have them reduced to the level of the lowest party member, and XP in the appropriate area for that member and still get full XP. Good stuff!

PC Watch: PS4 could be based on Cell architecture {PS3 Fanboy}
Sep 30th 2008 11:50AM I don't think this is really a negative. If the hardward is going to be basically the same thing, and they continue to use Blu-Ray, and the online infrastructure is maintained using XMB and Home, etc, then nothing should change. The system should be backwards compatible and potentially forward compatible. If that's the case late adopters wouldn't be affected. This isn't a bad thing. 360 was pushed early, and it worked out great for them.

Aug 21st 2008 1:39PM I cannot believe the nerds complaining about someone else having more pretend money than they do in an rpg that isn't even an mmo and will never affect them at all. Too funny.

Aug 18th 2008 3:41AM One reason after 4 years interest in the game is waning for me. For instance going 1/26 on Vali's Bow back in February is ridiculous for an item that is used on the rarely seen Ranger job these days.

Jul 15th 2008 7:31PM Sorta agree with doc. But in a different light. I think it was definitely keynote worthy, but it was totally delivered with "ho-hum" enthusiasm. A better delivery could have completely made this thing explode as the "win all of E3" so to speak.
