I really can only hope that ffxiv spawns the type of creativeness you see from ffxi fans, such as comics, music videos, cosplay, etc.

Wow!!!! That was such an amazing comic! It was perfect! I really hope the desire to make one about FFXIV overcomes you. Thanks so much for sharing with us. ^-^

FFXI was my second MMO and I was so lost at first. Someone who was passing by Sarabaruta had to tell me I had to get to Dunes at level 12 to get any further. I was like, how do I get there? I have to get through what zones? And not get noticed by ANY mobs? Zomg... : ) Aww the memories.

Love this comic. Really brings back memories of the good ol' days of XI where everything was new and exciting and good friends were made on the regular. By the way, the secret to easily leveling WHM or BLM to 10 was to sub MNK. Unavailable in the comic's case but man, hand-to-handing everything coupled with nukes/heals made it really easy.

Agreed. I remember browsing the fanart forums on KI waaaaay back in the day and people were really talented when it came to XI art. The cosplay deal is understandable since FFXI had more support + official fan events (that I never got to go to, so sad). It was a more aesthetically pleasing game than XIV currently is too.

Too bad you had no sub at the start xD
But yes this brings back up some awesome memories.
For the love of god, I can't get the same feeling in FFXIV as in FFXI and I have no clue what it's about. Maybe I'm just missing my old homies... hmm no clue :( Maybe the new jobs will make the game more appealing to me.

I wanted to draw some FFXI comic/Manga as well. But holy shit I suck at drawing D:

A sense of progression and "YES! I DID IT!" parts would be a good start.

This thread is amazing, every strip becomes such a success when you nail the right momentum with a parody. Those are experiences that we all identify with, where we wanted to pull our hair out, moments where the game opened up and our jaw dropped and moments where "common ffxi logic" hit us in the face.

I really miss the danger you had to face once you decided to travel to another city-state. In XIV I did that all on my first day. :(

Though, the comic pretty much sums up what I experienced too. It was just in Sarutabaruta. Friend and I got killed by a hare when we first set foot into Tahrongi Canyon. And the Dunes where like miles away~

*sigh* Memories~ *wipes off tear*

I have a feeling such a thing would be way too depressing, at least if we're talking about the launch version.

yeahh... it's kinda hard to find the joke in a horrendous launch without summing it up to "lol 4.0"

I loved the comic! Nice job!

I, too, was a Bastok Tarutaru. A rare breed, we were. I chose the largest size, which made me a veritable freakshow. You were more likely to see a unicorn walking the streets of Bastok than a giant Tarutaru.

There's just one thing, though.... I didn't get a Bastokan ring! You only got that if you were a Hume or a Galka starting in Bastok. Racist city....

I don't know...maybe they changed that later on. But I remember really feeling left out not having that ring. :p

These things happen when you post while at work and get called into meetings, haha.

I know that feel bro. Bastokan Elvaan and I had to break my back in those early days to afford a pair of balance rings while all the sissy humes got away with a free ring. No regrets, as Bastok is the greatest nation in the history of Final Fantasy. Sandy can suck it, and Windurst.... you're alright Windurst.

Asking for parties when playing as the Priestess class from Priston tale was exactly the same thing as the WHM LFP part of the comic =D

I feel stupid >_<;
How can I get a file that's full-size and won't be either very very narrow and unreadable, and when I zoom in, it's all just pixels?
Does that make sense?

I guess it depends on your browser settings!

You could always right-click - save as, and then open it in a picture viewer instead.

Haha, the track marks looping the wrong way through Gustaberg killed me. I can't tell you how many times I did that, even after playing for years. XD
