Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[aveyond-dreams]

Modern day FFXI is easier to power through than the state of Eureka when it launched. All you need to do is talk to a few people to unlock open-world trusts, and just like that 90% of the headache of that game is resolved. You are then free to level wherever you wish, with an abundance of options for making money and getting new gear easily with Records of Eminence.

I've regularly gone back and forth to FFXI and even prior to the addition of trusts I had played it for several years as a solo RDM -> SMN player, but I only dedicated a half-hour's worth of time to Eureka when it launched. I could not stand how atrocious it was, and this is coming from someone who somehow managed to single-handedly grind out Carbuncle's Ruby and made the worldwide treck to unlock SMN/level it/fight and defeat my summons prior to all of FFXI's many player-friendly updates.
