I think the real test will be how long those classic servers stay active. Sure, people will flock to the idea of "old skool", but as far as a long-term sustainability..well, idk how long it'll last :p

There is a reason why modern mmo mechanics pop up so much: its what works. It's what the market wants. SE is above all, a company, and if switching to more modern standards keeps their business...
This sums up exactly how I feel. Like many, FFXI was my first MMO, and my first real online experience playing with others. I used to think a lot about the "old days", but I think...at this point in...
FFXI pre-Abyssea is dead. It's good to remember the old days, but lets not live in the past and expect others to do the same. "Old" FFXI would not survive in this era of MMO's...it still has trouble...
Don't be fooled by the first few hours of XIV when it comes to difficulty. Yes its easy, but as you progress, the content becomes much harder. By level 44 you really need to know what you're doing or...
PC Collector is even harder to come by than the PS3 CE, since PC CE was only available to order from Square Enix store (NA version anyway).
If you just want the boxed goods, it'll be way easier...
If you played 1.0, then you don't have to worry about re-buying the game, since you already bought it once (unless you want the bling that comes with the pre-order code or the collector's edition...
Right now we're in Beta Phase 4, so the forums are getting congested like crazy. Here's the link to the client download, as per the "apology" page for the congestion.
Link to the beta forums:...
He wants to not have to juggle both games at the same time, i.e. only keep an active sub when good things are happening.
But it's planned specifically to prevent this, so I doubt it XD
The loading times on those PSX releases were atrocious anyway xD
FF4 on SNES for me. I remember being so moved by the story, I couldn't put it down. I was around 10yrs old when it was released here in the US. Like someone mentioned above, there was no internet or...
This is most likely done deliberately to keep interest in one while the other is going. Marketing etc. Just look for what they're doing with Abyssea next month: it coincides with the month XIV: ARR...
If you still have the installation file on your laptop, you can copy that to a USB then use it to install on your desktop. Check your "Downloads" folder for it.
You can talk about servers :p only thing you can't do at this point is talk about Alpha, Beta Phase 1/2, or post video/audio
Wow, Shiva sounds pretty bad Lol. I haven't seen it get to quite that level just yet on Phoenix XD
He wasn't mad or threatening, he was just stating an opinion of his, that stems from not knowing how the servers are set up o_O If he still feels that way, well, that's his thing, but I'm not gonna...
You needed a PC from like NASA or something to run 1.0 good xD Mine did okay, but my room was always really hot. @.@
I hear you about the more relaxed mindset, though. Even with 1.0, it was almost...
Quit that, no need to behave this way towards him. Misinformed he may be, but comments like these are what gets threads locked :/
As long as it makes SE money, I don't see why XI wouldn't last well into the next two years...granted, crucial things get fixed like r/m/e and job balancing/additions
I don't know about you, but I cannot in good faith suggest friend spend millions of gil on something that may see a slight boost, or no boost at all. That's just it: we don't know. We can't predict...
Except it was stated before that SE cannot afford for XIV to fail, or the whole company sinks. I'll try to find the interview xD
I too will keep supporting SE, either by console games or through...
If anything, you should be praying XIV does well >.> more revenue means more bankroll for more devs and more devs can mean a possible overhaul...shoot we might even get them to drop the ps2!...
Keep dreaming. If it dies, XI dies too, and so does the entire company.
Haters gonna hate '-'
What investors are you talking about, specifically? It's been stated at least twice that SE has funded XIV entirely on their own money, therefore they don't have to pay any investors back. The only...
Your concerns about direction given XI's past history are valid, and while I cannot predict the future, I can say that the outlook is by far more promising than I'd ever seen in XI's history (I've...
