I've seen this game from the very beginning and it has grown so much. I've been playing and testing for some years now and Mith has put in a ton of work. It really has that Final Fantasy XI feeling. Important characters and zones, especially the major city maps, are all nailed down in this 2d rendition of FFXI.
The job system is very balanced as every combination I've used so far has been successful. While combat is standard fare for an rpg, it stays lively with the ctb system and phases of bosses. Unlocking new jobs in the later game allow for new skills to be constantly entertaining.
If you ever played FFXI, you will feel right at home with this game.
