question for current ffxi players

[Skivvy]

too bad that the FFXI u will play today is a shadow of its former self....the old times are long gone :_(

It still has a lot to offer. Yes, it's changed drastically from how it used to be, but a lot of that is for the best. Despite for playing for 4+ years back in its "glory days", I had a great time when I made a new character.

Agreed. It can still give people an idea of how it was before. All it takes is thinking about how the players they interact with now would be in that game, minus any form of DF lol. The current version of XI can be somewhat comparable to how 1.0 was to 2.0 XIV. 1.0 is long gone, just as old XI is. Although, XI's reason is just because of the lack of players to do things the old ways if people want to. I do have to say though, the archaic MMORPG setup really doesn't age very well lol.

It probably aged better than what FFXIV will. We're still on the second year of the game and on ilv210 gear. In 8 more years, we're probably sitting at ilv1500 with nothing to do.

What I meant by that was that it's a general practice in XI that everything is done through text commands, quickened through the creation of macros. The menus are there, but inefficient when needing to do various things spread out across different sections of the menu, not to mention gear swapping pretty much mandating macro use to do. Definitely a step up from the old input games that use text commands though..
