I tried FF XIV as well. I was annoyed from the point I tried to create my account. WTF are stupid "Crista" things, and why would I want to pay for my account that way. Oh yes, pay for EACH CHARACTER you want to have going. Want to try all 5 races, well that's 15 extra bucks a month! Then the stupid 3rd party they use for credit card transactions couldn't validate my damn card. It works everywhere else. Then I installed the game and did two annoying fights. Do I really have to click on my TARGETED MONSTER twice after I tell it to cast a spell EVERY TIME? Then when I clicked outside the window to check my email, the game crashed. When I logged back in, I was at the start of my quest, ready to repeat the two fights I hated that I just played. I logged off and uninstalled right then and there. I could tell from creating the account, to playing 10 minutes this game was just not for me. Nope.. not one bit. You know why? because it's a donkey boner. That's why.
