Might want to start proofreading your Roman numerals, friend! I think you meant FFXIV.

And yeah, I totally agree with you about the amount of people that connect for online play with a PS3 compared to a PS2. Check out the rest of the FFXI forum and I'm sure you can find out who else still plays. Good people, those guys; they can give you some serious tips on how to play your job if you need help or, if you're on the same server, get you through some missions and quests. Good luck!
