just have to touch this piece of ignorance.

yes, xi is still up and running, but current xi is as close to old xi as arr is to xiv1.0. both games are 100% different than they were originally.

You haven't played FFXI recently SE is going through redoing most all old bcnm fights and mission fights Zilart, AA ect for the level 99+ cap and dropping new gear or items to upgrade old af, and relic gear. Its pretty much the same exact fights people done for ages now only redone for lv99. And they play almost the same as they did back before the 99 cap only the mobs have 99+ stats
