Lest we Forget (FFXI Comic)

[Seif]

Amazing as a taru BLM this comic sums up everything that's amazing about XI. Especially that feeling when the character makes it to the dunes or the bridge. Those are highlight moments in my entire life of gaming that don't need plot nor cutscens. Just rock solid game design.

And the horrible barren landscape is just perfectly depicted in this comic. I think more than the plot the landscape of XI creates that melancholic FF-feeling throughout the entire game. Even when you're in a party you get that lonely feeling when there's barely even a dead tree trunk within the 300meter radius at all times. It's just you and the cruel post-war world of Vana'diel. Oh god I'm getting all emotional just thinking about it ^__^

I'll admit I never played XI, but that comic made me laugh so hard. I'm going to re-read it now. :Runs off merrily:

We ride in the same boat, my friend.

Such an awesome comic. Made me laugh quite a lot. Especially the small font lines.

It's indeed funny in a general way...but for those who played it and suffered the same fate it's specially fun (well...fun like would talking to a friend about how one year ago they went to a party, he got drunk and puked all your car when you were taking him home...only funny MUCH after that happened)! =P

Wow, every panel was like traveling back in time. Thank you so much for sharing this comic!

I played FFXI at release but quit at about level 19 because I sucked at the game and couldn't get any higher than that (comes with being so young at the time, I think).

This mirrors my experience very closely. Right down to the blackmage... though my older sister was playing a WHM, so I didn't have the nightmare waiting-for-groups experience.

That was the story of my life... taru blm from bastok getting my ass kicked by everything and being hated on by elvaan. And no one wanted me for a party in valkurm dunes... I remember my first walk through north gustaberg and made that same mistake of hitting the wall and having to circle back and go around though south gustaberg again.

Sure the game has time sinks. That's why I was able to happily play it from it's NA launch until ffxiv. There was different stuff to do, and lots of it.
