I love FFXI I played from around 2004 to 2010 and then left for XIV. I did go back for a little while but now it is when they have a free login. The game is old now but I much prefer the world it is full of atmosphere and danger. The one thing I can not feel in XIV is atmosphere the world is dead and empty and the mobs are boring. In FFXI the rain the wind the ferry rides everything beats FFXIV hand down. On the other side to this though the game could be too hard for getting things done at times.

I remember doing the cop missions and it took us around 6 months because where a static and some people worked away and we waited but when that mission was done it was such a sense of joy for beating it as it was so difficult. I love exploring in XI but now it is dated as it is old and V1.0 had a lot of very similar things some bad but the ferry rides the world where much better. If they could remake somehow I would play it but I would hate to see it turned into another wow clone that was the charm of XI and wow never appealed to me.
