Should I Buy: FFXIV Pt. 1 – Why You Should Wait
Update: As I usually do, I mirrored this post over at MMO Voices and have gotten some great responses and rebuttals to my points. I’m still very new to the game, myself, so take a look at some other points of view. Also, please note that I’m not saying the game is bad, unfinished, or …

FFXIV Collector’s Edition – Pictures!
Hey Gang, I got lucky and was able to pick up a CE edition of FFXIV without a pre-order — one of only three available in my area. I was pretty excited, so I took pictures of the unboxing. Here’s a picture of the full, big box: The box came with a firm plastic cover …
