Return to FFXI

[Kittra]

Sometimes I think about returning to XI.

Then I think the sheer amount of third party programs needed to get the game up to a usable state. Not worth it.

I play the game just fine without third party programs.

Back in the day I would use Windower, but that's because it was a lot easier to see everyone's TP and coordinate for skill chains than to make a TP macro that might get missed in the chat...

Now that no one parties in FFXI, I find that Windower is completely and totally unnecessary. Many of the UI systems have been updated (recently in fact, about the end of 2013) and they have the option to play in windowed mode now so no more alt+tab accidents.

That was hands down my biggest gripe about the game. The clunky menu UI was also annoying, but you eventually got used to it. Not being to alt-tab w/o a third-party program was horrible.
