Some of them do just drop off - Gridania, for example, makes a big deal about hurrying up and doing a ritual to cleanse you...and then just kinda stops, I guess to wait until they can do the ritual.Dineren said:

Seems like NOBODY is in Gridania. I need to figure out how to get to other cities. Can I get Leve's in other cities?

GOODNIGHT ALL!
I started there, I think I like it the most. I went south to Ul'dah for a little bit. Yes, you can get leves in each city, hence why everyone is going from city to city.demosthenes said:
So just walk south from Camp Tranquil to Thanalan (Ul'dah) and from there you can go west to Limsa.
Okay, me and my girlfriend have squirreled away some moolah, plus have come into a bit of extra money and we are going to upgrade/build 2 computers. These computers will probably be able to play FFXIV on medium-high settings.
The question now is, should I get FFXIV? I asked this a whiiile back but no one answered me -
With those who've experienced the 8 hour a week limitation, how does it feel? I wont have a lot of free time myself, I would probably have 15-20 hours max a week to play, and I probably SHOULDN'T play more than that - does this make this system ideal for my situation?
Is there any talk about end-game? How difficult is it finding a party? I remember FFXI at launch, and it was no problem finding a party for the first few months from level 1-20, but past that and a year after launch... basically what I am saying is
A) is the game more encouraging for a party system and
B) I've heard soloing has been taken into consideration when the game was developing, does it show?
I don't know if I am trying to be convinced or not - I guess I just want some honesty.

I just started playing tonight. Picked up my copy earlier today. I'm on Lindblum as well.
I loved the early days of FFXI.Click said:
Notable things for me:
1. Soloing is now significantly easier and the game has a lot faster pacing off the bat.
e.g. the new aetheryte/warp point system, and you don't lose exp for dying.
2. There seems to be a lot more vertical variation in maps. Granted, I'm only saying this from Ul'dah perpective, but the field right next to the city is hella rugged and full of interesting features.
3. Probably because people are more experienced with MMOs these days, but there are shitloads of people doing synthesis work, compared to a typical old launch of an MMO. It makes things seem a bit crowded in the city/camp spots.
It's still way addictive though. I think you'll love it.
Bleh, I keep rerolling my character... I haven't been happy with the appearances of mine. There's always... something.
I'd really like to make a Highland Hyur, but they're so damned ugly. Maybe if I just wear a hat all the time, it won't matter how terrible my hair is.
I need to find someone on Mysidia to hold my gear and stuff for me, though, if I reroll again... anyone here on Mysidia?

My concern with playing this game is I'm coming from FFXI and I just can't make the time required for that game anymore. Is FFXIV more forgiving? Can I solo things for an hour here and there then only party on the weekend? (note I wouldn't change that aspect of FFXI. If you got the time it's a great experience, I like the hardcore partying element in the game, just don't have time for it anymore)
Also do you need to compete for a lot less from FFXI? i.e. not many notorious monsters, more instances?

Second day was a much smoother experience than the first, less of the "target already engaged" nonsense although it was still present in very crowded areas. The crowding has definitely lessened though as people are spreading out into higher level areas.

...I'm a curious fellow.
Official page from Square with lots of info on the game, controls, and even some recipes. It's a very good game resource.
Might want to add this site to the OP since I didn't notice it there and it's very useful.
