New Interview with FFXI's Developers on 1UP.com

[Kametame]

I don't mind having to work for my gear, that's part of the fun of obtaining it.
I'm not going to pretend I even know what hnmls or dynamis are about, i'm lvl 14 with no subjobs yet.

However, in WoW there is gear that is only avaible to people who can play 5-6 hours a night, 4-5 nights a week. This i can't do, but if i can log on, get a group or 3 or what have you, do a few bcnm's a week, and have a shot at getting comparable gear, than that is 100% ok with me.

But if Dynamis, takes a large portion of my week, I can not and will not ever see one. (Unless I find a cool group of people who do it on Saturday nights or something). :D

You can basically only enter dynamis once or twice a week. There's a restriction placed on dynamis that once you enter, you cannot enter again until exactly 3 days later, no matter what. The thing is... Dynamis has a level floor of 65 and a rank floor of Rank 6 (or you basically had to have the Shadow Lord mission completed at least once).

Levels will come...

Ranks will come because I like the stories involved with them (i'm 14 and almost 3-1 in sandy)

i was just saying if it's a HUGE chunk of my week, i can't participate.
