Chocobos and Materia in FF14?

 
    The other day when I was surfing the web I had seen that Square-Enix released a new trailer for the new Final Fantasy 14 update.  Being quite the FF fan I decided to check it out and shockingly I immediately got excited for the game.  A couple of the additions that got me hyped was the fact that they are finally adding chocobos in the game.  I still find it hard to believe that the game has been out for a year now and it does not have chocobos(really?).  Another thing that they are adding is a materia system.  This is what really got my hyped.  I think that the materia  system from FF7 is by far the best weapon system in an RPG.  This addition alone might get me to pay the subscription fee for FF14.
 
    Last year when I played the beta for FF14, I walked away from it very disappointed.  There was a lot of problems with the game that you simply overlooked because it was very well in beta.  The bad thing of it was when the game was actually released, SE didn't fix most of the problems that plagued the beta.  Luckily SE hasn't charged a monthly fee for the game since its release as far as I know of.  I guess you could look at it as a beta still really.  Its still crazy though that SE would release a game in this state.
 
    All things considered, I am still on the fence on whether or not I want to jump into a MMO right now (especially after my previous post on having too many games to play).  The one thing SE did do right though is that they got me interested in it again.

Need More Time!!!!

    This happens every year around this time when I realize that I have a problem of having too many games to play.  Sounds kind of crazy that I could have too many games to play, doesn't it?  Who wouldn't want to have this problem?  Right now, I hate to be in this position because the onslaught of games for the fall season is already upon us and I still have games from the beginning of the year that I haven't even touched yet.  Hell, I even got games from last year that I still have yet to go back to.  This is one of the biggest problems I face all the time.  I try to take on too much and in the end, I end up not finishing half the games I start.
    Being an adult is taxing and I find myself more likely than not, getting caught up in everyday life working till my eyes bleed.  Working a full time job (3rd shift at that) is mind numbinb enough, but to do that and attempt college is not much fun.  I sure do miss the days of being a kid when I could spend all day playing games and not have to feel grim about it.  Today it always seems like there is always something else I need to be doing.  I guess if all I did was sit around all day and play video games though, I'd feel somewhat lazy and all sorts of scum(not to say that people that do are).  Still though, it'd be nice to just have a weekend here or there where I could dedicate it to video games.  I need to make an attempt to have weekends like these.
   One thing I need to do is to just start focusing on one game and play it till there is no tomorrow.  Maybe then I would actually have some games finished.  Not having a game completely finished isn't all bad either.  Its not like I didn't have my enjoyment with the game for the time that I put into it.  There are plenty of games that I praise but just don't have the time to go back and finish them.  I still feel though that I need to start thinking its alright that I don't try every single game that comes out.
