Square has streamlined the MMORPG, and allowed alot of socialization and tweaked things to deter griefers-(no zone wide shouters or sellers, no ninja looting, kill stealing).If you like Final Fantasy and the jobs and magic system of those games, I would highly recommend the game. It is as good as AC2 IMHO (and SWG too) and the setting just tilts the balance for me.</blockquote>
