Well interesting news about the upcoming release. http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/topics/ffxiv/
Basicly giving incentives to get people to play both.

its not an incentive.

It's a measure to get the whiney FF11 zealots to finally give up on the game by allowing them to try both and realize it is time to move on. 

I just quit FF11.  It really is time to stop playing that game when all you do is fish and laugh at n00bs

What mmorpg do you not do that in?

MAPLE STORY!!

I still may... Nah, I'm not gonna get it.

My word FF has become so f*cking lame. These f*cking Pride Day costumes, and unfathomably abstract "systems"...I can't believe this shit is still going. The only way to make FF lamer would be to make it a MMORPG...oh wait...

[Arkhan]

These f*cking Pride Day costumes

What?

, and unfathomably abstract "systems"...I can't believe this shit is still going.

Have you tried them out?  Aside from FF12, all of the other systems weren't that bad.   They are basically manual-level up systems with swirly nonsense for ADD stricken people.

The only way to make FF lamer would be to make it a MMORPG...oh wait...

FF11 was a power house of an MMO and broke the Western cookie cutter mold for MMOs in half, lol.  It also successfully did the console MMO thing that PSO almost nailed.

Players only allowed an hour a day - Link NSFW

Tell us about the “fatigue” and “dormancy” systems please.
We wanted to introduce a system to reward players who don’t have a lot of time to play. Maybe it looks as though we are placing long playing users at a disadvantage, but the idea is really to let play for short periods be viable.
Won’t that cause some concern amongst players who play for longer?
We want these players to try different classes. If you change class the fatigue doesn’t affect you, so you could try non-combat classes as well. You actually have more play choices now as you can make more characters.
“Some concern” may be a colossal understatement if early reports of just how draconian the limits are turn out to be correct:
Fatigue goes up to about 50% in 2 hours, and it takes 2 days to go down! So, if you play 4 hours you have to stop playing completely for 2 days!
WHAT!?
Only 1 hour a day!
What’s really amazing is that you have to pay a monthly subscription for this…
They can’t get away with this on a subscription game. They’ll be sued!
So you get bonuses for staying logged out – the servers are going to be nice and quiet, aren’t they!
More on the “dormancy” system:
Recovery takes time.
2 hours of combat or 1 hour of craft will induce “dormancy.”
The dormancy is actually shared over different characters.
It will decrease gains to 0% in the end.
It seems to be proportional to the amount of XP you earn.
Both light and heavy player are going to weep...
Such systems are not unique, but Square Enix appears to have taken the system to an extreme likely to either completely eliminate its “hardcore” player strata – to say nothing of its high-handedness in dictating to players that they can only play an hour day.

I don't know this kinda sounds like it sucks to me.

1) It wont be that bad
2) Its like wow, rested bonus = more xp.  You dont play for 2 days , and make up for it when you do come back.  People who played nonstop still have 2 days of playing on you.
3) Hardcore gamers will be playing while the people with lives are dormant so it wont even effect them.  They'll continue to forget to bathe, ingest 500 bags of doritos, and wonder why they are 900lbs and cant get out of the chair.

Well it is only beta but that how it is from what people told me.

its not bad so far (have beta)

It encourages you to not let the game consume you, which was a problem FF11 had.  It was a severe problem too (6 hr quests, etc.)

but its got a good pace, and doesnt make you feel like its a job to play.

[geralds]

thats the point ment to be more casual. also encurages you to try out more then just one job.

yeah job changes are easier than FF11 was.  Its a sweet game.  They go against the grain of every other MMO. its good.
