Going back to FFXI

[Charismatic]

Phfffft, I went back to FF1.

Hah! Well, I went back to Rad Racer.

That's a terrifying thought... Going back to xi would be like going back to high school and recognizing everyone... And then having that awkward conversation about where you've been... Yeah no.

Have fun reinstalling it... it only takes like.... ALL DAY

Lol ok you can go back if you like but since the aby expansion XI has gone to shit.

That's a matter of opinion. I stopped playing 5 years ago to pick it back up again recently, and it's refreshing to be able to log in and actually accomplish something, rather than sitting around for hours on end waiting for an xp group.

I was surprised to see quite a few players I knew still playing when I walked around town though.

Same here, I saw many people from my original server that I recognized. Some of them were ones that tried FF14 briefly at the beginning, then apparently went right back to FF11.

My motivations for going back are simply to get something to 99 and try to solo all of the story that I wasn't able to experience when I was playing before (mostly CoP) so I don't plan on getting sucked into the whole Magian/VNM crap. I'll just buy whatever high level gear is available and go from there.

LOL, just bought FFXI, and it took several hours to be installed and the best part, when i was ready to start playing the game needed an update that took like 7hrs, why do they sell the latest collection without the updates included?

Hahahaha, right now i feel too noob, i cant remember how to open the main menus and i cant find the npc that receives the token in Sandoria, but i'll have something to do while 2.0 is out, take your time SE we need a perfect release

So... no one from Sargatanas in Bahamut here? Feels lonely... ; ;

BTW, just made into Jueno and joined a LS. They're kinda really nice to show me around, even as far as switching 5 maps for levelling tour. Tho the whole information I got just kinda a bit overwhelming and made me realize that 14 in experience term is like a baby compared with 11. XD

Saw Atomos on the way to Jueno, which surprisingly really looked alike the one we got here. Met gobbue too, kinda same, but feeling down when I heard these gob cannot be ridden at all. ;D

Been comparing notes between 14 and 11, figured I can speed learn things in 11 that way. XD
