Just played Final Fantasy XI

There are very helpful FC/LS in both games.

Both game have its ups and downs the reason or differences is ffxi didn't have a df/pf/cross server so you were depended players on your server to do content with which means more people were in linkshells and had mulit end game activities to schedule for. Ffxiv on the other hand you don't need to be in fc to complete majority of it's content threw df/pf the help is quick and easy to complete and end game is like two activities Savage and allot consider that being mid-core know because it been adjusted to be more clearable by the masses and ultimate came out which is the hardest of any content currently I'll throw in extreme primals for kicks.

Jesus, punctuation is a thing. And you didn't really respond to my comment.

Yes, the DF/PF make thins more streamlined for people to get the help they want, but even something like doing to MSQ dungeons is way easier to get people to go with you from your FC than it was in XI. There is a certain charm to XI that XIV will never surpass, but lets not make blanket statements like the community in XI was way more helpful, when the fact of the matter is their are very helpful groups of people in both games. You have to associate yourself with the right people.

I've not been able to play FF XI, but from what I've heard about it, it sounds like it was a very good game. I've only a little gameplay of XI, and everything seems so... big, and grand. Things like having to travel in groups (harder monsters and the like) and large open world things to do is something I would've really like to see in XIV.

Ah well, I can dream can't I? XD
