Yeah it is veeeeery old-school MMORPG-ing. But the sense of achievement in it is great since they reeeeeeally make you work for everything. The story in it was also great and was done well.
From what I understand FFXIV Online will me more a mixture. It will have solo elements, but with a good focus on group play still. I just hope they do not fall into the same trap as all these failures post WoW, which try to just imitate WoW.
