This is actually the single reason I haven't tried out 11. I've been interested, but it feels like it should be included as part of the FF14 sub at this point.

I haven't tried 11 yet but i would if this was a thing tbh.
I played it during the 3rd extension i think (the one with the puppeteer).
It's an old school MMO.
I don't know how it evolved but, the UI was horrible, almost everything was time gated (to continue this quest you must be as this precise place, the right day under a specific moon at 2.00 Vana'diel time), the leveling system was also old school (fighting "red" mobs with a full party in an open world).
The game wasn't bad if you liked the first EQ (since the Dev team never hidded the fact that it's was what they wanted to do : a FF based EQ)

I replayed current XI last year (am a 75 era vet) and honestly the solo experience in XI is better than XIV. None of the content can be just facerolled through, even the stuff you can solo with trusts. If you just want to do the stories, you can mostly solo all of them, but you will require a party for some fights here and there.i would like this too. i never got to play XI, but i've been watching a lot about it and to be honest i think i'd like it more than XIV.
do you know how current-day XI feels for a brand new player? do i get to experience everything in the game like XIV? or does stuff get blown through and never seen like in WoW?
But of course ! That'll be 25 bucks ! ... what ? :3
I would like for them to do a bundled sub option for both games at a discount price instead of having to pay for both then just keep ff14 retainers and ff11 mog wardrobes as separate subscriptions.
That is when the true Vana'diel of legend will be reborn.
this makes me happy to hear! i think i'll actually give it a shot then come next pay day. i really like more difficult MMOs and FFXIV is fun, but it is just not the kind of battle content i really like. even though i've been playing for ten years now. i really miss that feeling of being integrated into the overworld and things having stakes to them.I replayed current XI last year (am a 75 era vet) and honestly the solo experience in XI is better than XIV.

thanks!
I get it's in maintenance mode, but that's also another reason why a combo sub would be nice. I'd pay an extra penny to be able to have both subs!
I'm glad to see so many people have happy memories of 11. That game is so precious to me ;-;
Same! Gave that game so many years of my life. Made friends there that I'm still friends with to this day. Of all the games I've played throughout my life, it's easy one of the most influential on me as a gamer as well. Wouldn't trade my experience with 11 for anything ^_^
