Yeah, I think I viewed all of RoZ on youtube, but like you say, it isn't the same at all. People I know who still play the game tell me that much of storyline battles are solo-friendly now since several of the level caps have been removed, that's when I stopped viewing the scenes and became hopeful of going back for a bit to finish off at least the 4 main expansions.

Man, if that happens, it will be like someone has cast nostalgia'ga' on me or something! (bad joke I know)

Actually now is the best time if you wanted to experience the story in FFXI. SE removed all of the cop caps and if you have a maxed job you should be able to blaze through it np(I helped a friend duo it at 85 cap)

Also liked to add that maybe the reason FFXI players have such nostalgia about FFXI is because the world felt real. Every time I logged on it didn't feel like I was playing a game. Felt like I was logging into my second life(and at my prime years it was a second life lol) the world felt real. Mobs had uniqueness to them, traveling to cities(before gathering other modes of transportation) was rough and dangerous. Death was a serious issue. The emphasis on teamwork and needing others helped me form bonds with others. Out of the host of mmo's I've played I've always returned to FFXI because it felt like home. And no it wasn't my first mmo, and yes there were some serious flaws with the game, but the world felt alive. This is how I want FFXIV to make me feel, like the world is alive and doesn't revolve around me.

...and this one I fell in love with while deployed to Afghanistan...

Omg, yes, this 1000X yes. FFXI was the best most amazing game I have ever experienced. Thank you so much for the memories. This game, is pathetic atm in comparison, to FFXi Prime time days. OMG, what an experience. Alas, never to be relived i'm afraid.

After playing FFXIV ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sn5sM9TOT4
