I'm brand new to FFXI and on the second or third day of my free trial run. To be honest, the main reason I started playing was to fulfill my obsessive need to experience every Final Fantasy game at least once.
However, now that I'm wrapping my head around the basics of the game, I'm actually starting to have fun and I think I may actually want to invest in playing beyond the one month trial. I'm still a little bit hesitant about doing that though after reading through some of the posts on this forum. From what I think I understand, it's kind of difficult for newbies to enjoy FFXI these days due to a lack of available linkshells or help from other players? Is it really all that problematic to solo through this game?
So yeah, I was just hoping someone could give me proper insight on all that, and maybe some advice on how to find help for quests and missions that are easier with a party.
