Grrr, where's my book?

C'mon, Amazon and UPS, hurry! Seems like all of my flist has it (or has finished it!) already, and I want my copy, too. *sniffle*

I tried to do some FFXI stuff this morning, but it didn't go overly well. Bored. I tried to dig (did two runs, 30 stacks each), but was bored out of my mind. Didn't feel like farming, nothing was going on on LS, so... logged off.

(The one exception to "didn't go overly well" was that I got the last piece of my RSE this morning. I had to get up at 7 AM to do it, but the chest was in the very first place I looked, so I got it in seconds. Too bad I can't go back to sleep once I'm awake! Wish I was able to nap...)

This G4 channel is doing a special on WoW, and it's made me peer so much. I don't get it at all, and the graphics still make me want to stab my eyes out with a fork, but there are a couple interesting looking things. I like that people can ride different things (like tigers and horses and stuff). It's depressing that everyone rides the exact same model chocobo in FFXI (other than size shifting for races). Maybe one day S-E will introduce something like chocobo breeding, so maybe there could be at least some color shifting or something... (Edit: Ha ha, G4 is recommending Alla as a good WoW site.)

Bah. Where's my book?

#1 reason you won't see any real huge improvements to FFXI aside from new zones: The limitation of a PS2. Alas, FFXI was designed for the PS2 and so it can't have as many cool features as some other MMOs simply because of lack of memory. Computers can handle a lot more variety at once than a PS2 can, but unfortunately the game was -not- designed for a PC userbase. ; ;

Bah, yeah. Every time I wish for something new (More Hair Color Choices, Please!!!) we run up against that. Bah!

Check out Zubis' post, that pretty much covers it. X3 (And OMG that rendering of Sarutabaruta *_* I want PC graphics damnit.)
