    Time Machine: FFXI JUN 14 2003

    As we ponder the state of FFXIV, with hopes for a spirit of new life to overcome it, I was thinking of what FFXI looked like back in it's initial arrival to the scene. What did it look like? What was the 'pitch' as to how special it was? How did they outline the classes?

    So I dug up one of the most important sites on the web... web.archive.org as it features the WayBack machine. This site has been taking snapshots of the web for a LONG time... and guess what... FFXI is included.

    Site Root (click show all cuz hitting enter is a bug):http://wayback.archive.org/

    FFXI on Jun 14th 2003 (it may take like 10 seconds to show up as it pulls from storage): http://web.archive.org/web/200306140...t_is_ffxi.html

    enjoy friends

    This stuff really brings back memories. You get that feeling like they stumbled upon something great even if it started out rocky.

    Makes me really miss XI.

    I was so hoping XIV would be XI +3, but instead the synth blew up...

    Heck yeah...those were the days! I even had the Japanese PC version imported a week after it launched there, {I think I paid nearly $200} and damn was it a bitch to set up, but it was awesome.

    Seriously SE, what happened to you since then....le sigh
