Just a simple question to forum goers.
yes i went off topic for a sec no worry lol that the point of the topic. How you get your friend to play if the battle system is slow lol there many reason why people wont play. I myself have to many wow friends and they would try ffxi/ffxiv but i know they would quit.

ontopic
But like i said in last topic i show them the game and let them play and see what race they can be. My friend who got me into FFXI said oh be a tarutaru black mage. I'm like ya ok i became a elvaan Warrior i guess he got a little piss about that lol. He also ask his friend to become a tarutaru black mage i don't know what his deal was with that. When i got a friend to play i let him see all the race,explain each race background story and the Jobs and how they work and such. He got in to the game and he play for a long time lol i quit and he was still playing around 2010. He got his brother to play the same way i got him to play .

I got my gf to play she was sick of seeing me play this game and thought it was lame she was a "WoW" player. She got into it and thought wow was lame at the point and FFXI was more fun for her.

So best way to get a person to play is let them play on your Char and show them how to fight and show them all the race and background story and how the game is all about. If they like it they would go and buy it if not then w/e noting more you can do about that


And the others saying that you wont tell them about ffxiv due to it not being fix then that your issue. I have a friend that saw me playing from Beta1 and he know all the issue and all the complain and the score of the game and he does not care. He knows the game going to be fix and he dieing to play the game. He waiting for ps3 now due to it delay so i guess he get the game fix but he would play now if he could.
