Wow....so...I gotta say. When I posted this (though it looks like it was merged with an older thread) I was not expecting 153 posts. I'm seriously enjoying the passion that folks feel on the subject, though it wasn't my intention to spark a debate. :blush:
It's discussions like these, though, that ultimately led to blurred lines between servers on other games. We may eventually find that it wont matter which server we chose.
However from my perspective, one that is not emotionally involved (yet), I'm looking forward to playing a few months of a quality game with my friends, getting back into a deeper style of gaming, and rediscovering my love of Final Fantasy. At least I hope. So far so good I think I can accomplish this on either server because I know folks like you will be there.
Choosing how to sync up with the larger community during end game? Well....I suppose I'll slay that behemoth when I get to it.
