As a long time hardcore WoW player and gamer I can’t possibly explain how excited I am for the new Final Fantasy MMO. I’ve been involved in the WoW raiding community for about four years now, but before that I was a hardcore FFXI player. I had to say that I was a little worried about this new release, but with Square releasing new screens...
