Thread: Considering FFXI till FFXIV 2.0

I'm back on Leviathan as Litos, my original character from Remora.
I'm taking things veeeeeeery slowly but having fun even doing just that. I have yet to reach 99 (quit at first level raise to 80) and am once again mesmerized by the scale of FFXI.

I tried XI - I failed


or rather FFXI failed....its not what is was back then.

/disappointed

I tried going back recently, a week or so, the only people that seem to be on are the hardcore players as usual. I noticed the only shouts were new content, so I looked it up and realized I'd not only have to get a new expansion to play with them I'd have to do a giant laundry list of pre-requisites I'll most likely never find help doing because theres a bajillion things to do in ffxi and it just doesnt have the playerbase anymore.

Maybe I'll finish my paying month out leveling BLU, I never have, and always wanted to. I'll do it the ole fashioned way. dunes. After that I may just delete the char to stop temptation..

I may never delete my character on FFXI. He has so many memories that I've had with friends. My one LS leader helped me get Ifrit for SMN, and he died a month or so later due to a heart-attack.

leveling is crazy fast im a lv40 bst and that in 2 days. im done with the 3 promys. AH is dead on anything less then lv60 for equip. partying is using weak mobs and raping fields of valor pages to xp from.
areas people XP way different(think stronghold partys from FFXIV with less mobs at a time). as a old player it nice to zoom past the boring stuff.

it stil the same game but people figured out how to XP faster with crappy equip on the low levels since no one makes anything for the low levels and no one cares. i still need to learn abyessa when i get high enough anything post lv75 i dont know anything about.

If you need gear Im on Asura too and have all my crafts to at least 50, except gold/blacksmith which are in the 20s so I can make you a few things. I put things up low lvl when I can as its better than just npc random things. Also if you get stuck on something just send me a /t and if Im at my puter or not in the middle of a fight I will respond... Fiyaro is my ffxi name on Asura
