I want to play *This* game

[Skivvy]

Been legitimately thinking about it.. Might pull the trigger and check it out.

Ayeeee. It goes on sale for $10 starting this upcoming Friday the 12th (usually $30). I love the game, and think it's definitely worth checking out, but you really need to know what you're getting into. lol.

That game literally dumps you into the starting zone with 10 gil to your name, there are no NPCs to guide you around, no !'s peppering the map, you'll have to learn how to navigate the menu for everything, you'll basically live in a wiki, and that's just scratching the surface. It's not for the faint of heart. :3 But!..if you can get past the first couple of weeks of thinking "OMG why did I buy this game!?", things do usually start clicking and you can find your groove. Not trying to play the XIV vs. XI card, but there is sooo much more depth to the systems and jobs in XI. Some may love that, some find it annoying.

The XI subreddit is actually a pretty helpful place. The Bg Wiki will be one of your main sources for actual game information along with the ffxiclopedia site. This guide is pretty handy for just starting out. I'm not sure if this has changed in recent years, but the ffxiclopedia site used to be a bit better for older content (like 75-era content) while BG wiki has a lot more for the current endgame.
