FFXI crossover event comming to FFXIV

[Daniel_Hatcher]

The game was never as awful as you make it out to be. I started with the US release, I never ever got bored since. I am not saying it didn't have any flaws but it never pretended to be the perfect game in the first place, unlike your cherished FFXIV. I remember my first steps in San d'Oria, in Ronfaure, the music, the magic, the people I met. I cared about the world, cared for the NPCs of Vana'diel, cared for the friends I made, cared about my character, pretty much each and every piece of equipment I got had a story. I'm sorry if I've never been able to feel the same in FFXIV, I never cared about anything in Eorzea, never missed the game when I had to take a break for work or holidays, never was happy coming back after said break because there is nothing deep and attaching in this game.
If you like your memories of spamming FATEs, entering one-way dungeons through a hub, throwing equipment every three months, avoiding scripted red circles on the floor, exploring an empty world and not playing the way you want, good for you. We seem to prefer a slightly deeper experience.

No, you simply don't remember how bad it was.

Unlike my cherished FFXIV, say wha? I have no problems with someone not liking FFXIV, going from FFXI to FFXIV it's not hard to see how it could loose several players, the problem I have is with people who played it once, or even never then slating the game because they think it makes them "cool."

You want a "Deeper experience" so play FFXI, that's hilarious.
