FFXI reborn

Is anyone going back to FFXI until ARR launches? im thinking of going back for nostalgia's sake and just have a wander round....Would be nice if SE gave us a discount to play FFXI in the period that FFXIV is offline...

After playing through Assassin's Creed III, I will probably wind up back in Vanadiel for a bit.

I started playing again around the time the Atomos event started. Nothing too serious, just been messing with fishing, since I never got my Ebisu Rod, and leveling up my Beastmaster while leveling my NPC. I don't plan on getting too involved with anything endgame or doing any of the Magian trials or anything. Mostly I just want to get something to level 99 so I can start working on story missions I was never able to complete when I was playing 5 years ago.

I dunno, FFXI is kinda still a cesspool of ***holes and derps. Soooo I guess it's off to the real world for now. Guess sunlight still exists.

I will indulge myself in Ragnarok Odyssey.

I'll be playing XI casually.

I try and play FFXI few month back and i have to say i can't stand the battle system. For a game i played for about 6years and enjoy the shit out of it for the first time i could not stand the battle system after playing ffxiv for so long.

So i be playing AC3 and other stuff to i get in alpha/beta.

Yeah. Especially when SoA comes out.

XI still feels polished and that's something I like in MMO's.

Capping my alt's parrying in Abyssea - Tahrongi at this time. o.o

I returned in June but got bored quickly. It just seems like I've done all I really want to do. Sure, I could go for Relics/Emps/Myths, or do VW storyline I never finished, but it just seems like at some point FFXI became a hodgepodge of "Do X over and over and over until you possibly might obtain what you want." Granted, I know most MMOs use that overall concept but, for someone that enjoys story elements, once they're gone, it's just a boring exercise in repetition.

I will just got the final Wings of the Goddess fight and that is it!

That's always what XI has been about tbh.

Yah I am heading back and at the advice of some other people here on the forums I re rolled on Asura so hopefully get some levels and such and get to do some of the content I missed out on the first time I played it

Oh no..played FFXI for years and while I have a great nostalgia about it, my time playing it is over. With the way they've changed the cap to 99, released abyssea etc., it's really not the same game anymore to me.

I'll be playing a lot of DoTa2. Jug is a very fun hero to play. And I hope when samurai comes out that the gear for the job will have some similarities to Juggernauts dress code. Hopefully most of NA get into alpha after the Japanese crew gets a few weeks in.

FFXI - I started playing it again back in June.. I think. Maybe July. I picked it up because I missed it, and one of my friends wanted to get me in on his LS.

So I started... got my jobs to 99, focused on NIN for awhile, then focused on BLU after NIN was decent enough to solo things, got my 85 Almace, got SAM to 99 and geared, then when I hit my 80 Masamune, I said **** it.

It's not the same game anymore, there's no interesting content rolling out anytime soon - VW is boring as all hell - and I got sick of being forced to attend events 6.5 days a week past midnight.

Cant belive players want to go back and play that shit hole. SE screwed the game over with the aby expansion and its not even worth playing even if they did offer it as free too play.

Believe it because it is still their most profitable game, and people still play it.

The FFXI I enjoyed is gone.
