Wisdom of Nym: The first impressions of Final Fantasy XIV patch 3.1

27
Part of me feels really ungrateful for being upset that it took five months instead of the usual three to get Final Fantasy XIV's next big patch.

As I mentioned in that post, I thought that I had a pretty firm grasp on all of the MMOs currently available for playing, but I'd never heard of that one prior to a reader tip. I don't know that I'll end up playing Sphere 3,...
