As long as they dont (and i doubt they will) do what wow is doing and fold most classes together (party buffs, combining class buffs into a set that override each other ect). But when you look overall, SE look a lot smarter than blizzard on the scripting side of things.

I should also note that i have no played ffxi, though i plan to for a moth or two in between now and 14.

May i ask will it be worth it, for the short time?

However, back to the topic.
Thanks for the info, i was looking for some feedback on alpha, and couldnt find any. I hope i get into beta, even just so i can create my own unique look beforehand, rather than spending several hours tweaking my charactors look (and i really will) before the game actually starts.
