As I mentioned last week, I’ve started playing Final Fantasy XII and it is quite good. I’ve been playing several hours a day and have most definitely prioritized it over World of Warcraft. In fact, I had plans to play WoW with some friends on Thursday and things didn’t quite come together so I just watched some TV. And then played FFXII.
For the first time since August 2005, I’d rather be playing something other than WoW. The spell is broken, perhaps? I started blogging shortly before I started playing WoW, which means I have a chronicle of my addiction. Here’s my first post written after I’d started to play. I definitely don’t feel that kind of excitement over WoW anymore. I think I really need a break. Maybe a 60-80 hour break - about how long it might take me to get through FFXII.
I’m still playing WoW once a week, but only once a week. I have the Crazy Cattle’s weekly instance run to show up for. But other than that it’s all FFXII, all the time until I finish it out. Which might take a while since I’m a total completionist and have to explore every nook and cranny before I’ll move on. But it’s fun to play a game with a tight story and an ultimate end.

There’s something very nice about *endings*.
It’s definitely one of the things I like about Guild Wars. Each story *ends*.
There’s still some limitless gameplay and some missions you can do over and over again, and there’s always great PvP, but the main storylines just finish. It’s nice.
I still think it’s because of the alts… I mean, running gnomer on alliance lowbies? It’s time to do a UBRS run! It’s a whole new game. And phat lewt; you’ve still got some mad decking out to do from scholo, strat, and brs for your druid, don’t you? Come back to us!
Okay, actually, I just didn’t buy FF XII for exactly this reason. I’ve sat down and given up on life until I finished each of the Final Fantasy games before, and I expect this to be no different. I’ll probably disappear between Christmas and New Year’s, and then return myself
I just hit 60, and you pull this? We have all the 10 man instances to run, not to mention the patch and x-pack. You can’t do this to me. And think about Lars. He has 2 lvl. 60s and he’s stuck with PUGs. Boo. I blame the Alliance alts and Gnomer. Of course you aren’t having fun. Come back to the Horde where you belong. One of us, one of us, one of us…
Yeah, I’m with you guys. We cant run UBRS with 9, Tara! We’ve been tossed aside like yesterday’s trash.
Besides, y’all eventually want to run in ZG with em, right?
