I've been wanting to play FFXIV:ARR for a while now but i know that i would probably quickly lose interest if i'd play it alone, so i'm just waiting for some of my friends to get interested in it x.=.x..though it doesn't look like they'll be interested until it goes f2p or something, haha. How is the game by the way in your opinion? Fun?

It is quite enjoyable, though if you don't have friends to play with, it can feel very grindy indeed, but either way, I've been having a ton of fun in it with the people I have been playing with.

Yeah i thought it would feel kinda like that without people to play with, so i did the right choice in waiting i guess, but i tend to have this bad habit of reading tons and tons of stuff about games i wanna play, so i'm scared that i'll lose interest myself after i'm done with the wiki entries, haha~ Oh well, at least i have TF2 and Dark Souls to keep me busy.

Oh! and congrats for the beta key! I've been waiting for one for months now myself, but with no luck. I tend to get the short end of the stick in these kinds of things xD
