Play other games :)

Def check out FFXI if you're an FF fan and haven't yet. Who knows, you might really enjoy the adventure.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

There's a reason I no longer played MMORPGs create during the late 1990s into the early 2000s: World of Warcraft.

If you enjoyed games from that era, you'll probably enjoy it, if only for the sake of nostalgia. Then again, I understand both EverQuest and EverQuest II are still up-and-running as well. Both are free to play, and the portal access is way better than PlayOnline, which I found extremely clunky on PC.

It's clunky because it's a PS2 game, but it's not the same game as it was when it released. Just as WoW now isn't the same as Classic.

Have you played it recently, or are you making the assumption that it plays like an old MMO?

If you truly enjoy Final Fantasy, I wouldn't look past it. Because it feels like a mainline that's open world, not an 'Old MMO'.

I have ps+ for ps5, so I'm going to try out Just Cause 4 reloaded tonight, see if it's any fun.

I don't know why when I played it should matter, as FFXI is an old-style MMO with a clunky interface on PC, and played pretty much like one. But ...

My last login appears to have been 5 years ago. My first login was about 8 years ago.

Do I enjoy Final Fantasy? Well, I'm certainly of an age to have played the first game when it released in the United States, but, quite frankly, aside from purchasing the pixel remake for FFI through FFVI when it came out, and FFX a few years before that, I haven't played a single Final Fantasy game all the way through. Pretty much the same as "I never played Warcraft or Diablo II" but still enjoyed playing through World of Warcraft and Diablo III for a number of years.

I'd hardly characterize any MMO produced before 2004 'mainline'. That's just me though. You can have all the fun you want in FFXI, just don't expect me to be enthusiastic about the game.

It's on sale right now http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/cam...unt/index.html

No thank you, I'm too old already to bother with old timey's grindfest and RNG from the NMs...

They've cut down some of the grind, and the xp boost has been nice You can get some decent trusts, unlock Escha, and have your levels up to cap in about 30 minutes. I think at max level, I have max Merits out of there in about 20, depending how hard I chain. You can also pop NMs now as well, assuming you have the item to do it, from the Survival Guides or whatever. A lot of their QoL over the years has been real nice. I play every so often when I get the itch. I just don't enjoy the limited inv space lol.

I've not played the series but I know if you enjoy just doing things aimlessly...it's amazing.

Good. I was just being nice anyway, glad I don't have to see you 'round. lol



Edit: And I was talking about 'mainline FF'.. Not MMOs. My suggestion was for people that enjoy the FF franchise.

Not sure what kinda response you want. It's not out yet? I leveled all classes in Beta. I'm very hype.
June 2nd - Basically my whole FC / Friend list will be on that for a bit.

Remember, you can play and root for more than 1 franchise.

I do technically prefer FF, but that's just because it has a wider variety of stories. So easier to connect with. lol
