I still remember going into the fight once, and then leaving shortly after so we could instantly skip the cutscenes via the "You have already seen this cutscene. Would you like to skip? prompt.

Freaking rediculous 45 minute airship fight. I loved my bard in it though. tons of fun.

So much nostalgia. Airship was probably the most nerve wracking fight of that story line.

But Dude, FFXI was made for the more experienced, hardcore MMO player. FFXIV is meant for casual gamers, is it not?

The distribution was about the same, honestly. There was an incredibly large percentage of casual players in FFXI.

Yeah, I really liked XI, sadly I only got as far as the Oryu "Oreo" fight in CoP because I just couldn't commit to a static group. The fight's themselves weren't really the problem, once you read up on what you needed to do and did it it wasn't that bad. It's just finding the other players to do it with you that were as good as you in order that you could all beat it. That's the problem. Statics are a problem. Oh sure, they are great for people who can commit to them, but if you can't then you are just screwed out of progression. I really wanted to beat CoP too, but when your in game friends all have their own statics and you just can't commit to one because of your real life job/situations you just get left behind. That's not really fun, or fair.

FYI they DID story mode all of the early CoP by uncapping their level caps and letting you fight them at your full level.

That was something like 5 years after they were introduced. To be honest, I think it was longer. Maybe 8 ish? Post abyssea, and CoP was what, 2005?

Correct.

The fact that they're even considering it now is pretty good, yet people are complaining here.


I really don't understand why people are complaining when the development team have already confirmed that "We're working on plans for old redundant content such as BCoB"

Just an observation but almost everyone in this thread who strongly oppose this are from excalibur. Odd coincidence?

I don't see what it has to do with the topic at hand?
