Post subject:  FFXII vs. FFXI etc.
Things I miss about FFXI:
~Friends
~Job system
~Uniqueness of character abilities
~Bosses that don't take 45 seconds to defeat
~Provoke
~Enmity
~Dual-wield
~Black magic being useful
~6-character parties
~Tank, damage dealer, healer, mage roles
~Rare monsters being rarer
~Going to homepoint when you die
~Seeing your armor on your character
~I prefered FFXI music
~Some spells and abilities to look forward to at higher levels
~Magic bursts
~Skill chains
~Positioning versus monster
~Crafting (selling shit to ff12 bazaar doesn't count)
~Updates to game material
~Skillup
~Gil was hard to get
~Bard omg
~Too weak, easy prey, dc, em, t, vt, it
~Treasure chests/coffers hard to find
~Summons have some use

Things FFXII improves on:
~Graphics
~Less frustrating usually
~I don't have a Japanese player continuously impeding my progress
~"Time magic" separate
~The gambit system, while not perfect, is really a great tool
~Option to use battle target lines (but I never use them)

I haven't beaten the final boss yet, but I could if I wanted to (I'm around lvl 65 now). My conclusion is FFXII is a nice simple single player FFXI that has much less features but doesn't require 86 hours a week of your attention.
FF11 > FF4 > FF6 > FF5 > FFT > FF12 > ...

Yea, I quit ffxi end of october, and have recently tried FFXII. It kinda boring as hell... the upside is there is a pause button so you're not locked into large blocks of time, so you can get up and walk away anytime you want. But having noone to chat to while playiing sux ass.

All I use is black magic. Usually reflect on my characters and target myself... so each -ga spell hits the mob 3x as it bounces off everyone in the party. 90K dmg per round (9999x3x3). That said, yea the game is too damn easy.

I hear that... At lvl.71 now and still using Blizzaga mainly.

Yea, they are pretty lame/useless in FFXII

Gambits are great when you have a bunch of slots
The combat system is wonderful

I really like the JP player comment, lol. It's such a true statement.

I just got FFXII yesterday and it's weird but fun.
