Old FFXI player questions about FFXIV.

Thanks for the replys. I like that FFXIV might not need the time that XI did. At the time I was playing that I had a really relaxed job, where I could play all day if I wanted. I sunk a ton of time into that on my 3 jobs, crafting, LS runs. But I liked the party plays, not as much as I did solo'n. Once again I find myself not having a full time job, and painting and sculpting to support myself. So I sit in front of a computer sometimes 14+ hours a day. Would be nice to have something I can jump into for an hour between paint drying or my cast cooling. Like I said I loved XI, no other mmo has really made me want to play. But the memories of XI, have me wanting to come back. Thanks for the post, think I will grab this once its released and hope I fall back into it like before.
