I really wish SE would drop / reduce the XI sub for XIV players

It would be pretty sweet to go back and show friends what it used to be like in the last hardcore MMO.

FFXI is not the old hardcore FFXI anymore. That said I would LOVE a good discount on FFXI. If it was like somewhere between 5 to 8 euros if you have an active FFXIV subscription I would subscribe to FFXI again just to have some fun on my BST.

Oh I certainly realize that. You can still play it the same way. I wonder what the sort of meta of the game really is for people who want to level "au natural" and refuse to go Abyssea. Like, I can imagine the player pool is VERY scarce, trying to /sea all lfp would be very interesting just to see how many people in the 10~50 range there even are. I imagine some would not mind level syncing down, but, truth be told the only way it would really work is if you got 5 other friends and just went at it. I mean, despite how hard many remember leveling in XI was, if you had a solid static you could totally get stuff done.

I just think it would be a great gesture of SE. I have hardly any reason to play XIV (and obviously, much less XI) but it would still be fun to mess around over there.

Discounts are for casuals. :rolleyes:

Loved playing bst until they nerfed some stuff, like pets or mobs disappearing after a certain distance. Bst was the most fun for me sadly came to an end after they changed it all. None the less bst was great fun.
Shout out to all the bsts still on Odin :)

Why should you get a Discount ?
There are people on FFXI that are loyal and continued to pay their subs while you ran off into the sunset and came to this game and god knows how many games before this game........

That said , I think FFXI players should get a Sub Discount like Legacy Players with a special Tattoo that says " Hey I stuck this out while everyone ditched it and ran off" .

(I by the way , was one of the ones who ran off) . FFXI players should get something special for their loyalty to a game that's is one of the Oldest MMOs still running .

XI has been running for so long now, they should consider dropping the monthly fee a few bucks anyway regardless if you play XIV or not. Maybe even additional characters are now .50.-.75 instead of a dollar. Go back to the good ole 10 dollar days!

Because they will almost certainly make more money overall. The sub is a bit too high overall to justify me paying it when I already pay for XIV, if it was less, I'd consider it. Int he end, all that means is more money for SE. Others might do the same, there is really just no downside to it.

Because when XIV came out their was a discount for playing both games. This ended when XIV went free to play.

Dont they have some bundle to sub for both games? Couldve sworn I saw something like that somewhere. /shrug
