I ended up getting this anyway, Physical Level 12, Marauder Rank 10, the battle seems better than XI, there are some long walks, but there is a teleport option costing some points which I think regenerate daily. The is a limit on how many quests (levequests) you can take in 48 hours, but they are fun. Worst thing is market wards, I really miss the old bazaar where you can find exactly what you are looking for, and know how much is the sale price for X item, still stuck with half of my starter's equipments.
My computer (quad 2.2ghz GTX260) can run the game on maximum settings but it is very laggish so I keep it around medium.
The menus looks good but they are very slow, transferring/selling items is a pain. I don't like the non-fighting jobs, they are boring, repetitive and luck based, and they seem the best method generating gil.
The game is not bad, but it is very slow.
