I enjoy FFXIV but FFXI is just so dynamic.

In a lot of MMOs you are forced into a particular style of play. FFXIV fits into this category. All the best players will be clones of one another. The strategies for the battlefields are all the same or near enough...a tank some DPS and a healer.

FFXI completely breaks this common MMO trend. Party set-ups are customised by a leader/group and there are many many set-ups and strategies you can use to kill any one fight. Similarly, there are many different ways you can play your job and customise your gear sets.
