My FC is going back to FFXI... FFXIV FAIL

May I have your gear? :P

What I don't understand is why don't they have a bundle discount subscription for ARR with XI?

I wonder if there couldn't be some great opportunity for some kind of interplay between the two somehow - (ancestor/descendent... or different dimensions... or even just some kind of account bound achievements)

It seems to me like it would make sense to have a discounted sub for both... so you aren't competing against yourself...plus players could bounce back and forth between releases, so that morep layers are enjoying your current releases, instead of waiting around in one game and missing the content release on the other.

I mean the sub goes to SE either way, idt they care. Oh, and we don't care either btw

Didn't they do this at the start of XIV? It would be great if they still did, I would love to keep playing both games but SE is making me choose one.

No way, I'm still playing and that is not possible anyway.

[Ricky]

lol yeah we are going to check out the patches of course. Some of us are also going to continue to cap our myth in the meanwhile.

so you're still paying for the game.. that is pretty pathetic

[ZephyrAM]

Just a point really: if FFXI is the type of game you all were looking for, then ARR was 'never' going to be the place for you. This is not a failing on SE's part.

Why are you blaming FFXIV again? It is like getting a COD player to play Battlefield and commit.

FF11 is all about nostalgia. That's about it. When people go back to it and see that the game is not the same as it was they will lose interest. Obviously this is a generalization but it's more or less true.

The thing is that it never was the way they remembered it and every time I see some FF xi fantard wax poetic about the 'good old days' I have to wonder if we were playing the same game because the game was more luck oriented than it is now rather than skill. And when the game went to skill oriented game play with Abyssea they screamed bloody murder despite the fact that they asked for skill based game play.

Yeah, sounds like a blast.

About as much fun as gathering together every week or so to camp an HNM that may or may not pop and competing for 'who has the best bot' for a mob that even if you beat it might not reward you with anything.

I dunno, I went back to XI and have been having a blast levelling a new character and generally messing around with my old character.
The Trust magic makes solo-ing and having a good time so much more fun! (My only wish is that it could be used in BCNM's and other story fights since there aren't as many folks online nowadays)
