    For those who may have forgotten

    And for those who have yet to see it

    This is a story from FFXI about being an adventurer, and the joy we all felt when starting a new game and exploring, but somewhere down the line we lost sight of the fun we once had and focused on grinding to the next level.

    I blame it on getting older myself and the games following a certain general pattern. My first mmo was SWG and it was nothing like anything I had played before, I was young so there's definitely some nostalgia involved but also it was a world filled with many different playstyles and of course getting a house in your guilds player city made things feel really alive when things were still active. Now games you know what you're gonna get generally and that's leveling up and grinding for gear. That's why i'm looking forward to housing and the golden saucer more than anything in this game.

    I remember watching this video a long time ago and it's right there is so much fun to be had with a group of people exploring not just doing it for the xp from locating new areas

    people barely interact with eachother, because they do not have to.

    that's why real online community spirit faded away in most games.

    Ein rotäugiger Kunde betritt dein Geschäft.
    Halb Engel, halb Todesgott.
    Du wirst ihm die Geheimnisse des Kalenders verkaufen.
    Besonders über jene des elften wird er sich freuen.
    Der Kunde wird an einem warmen Tag zurückkehren
    und dich allein mit dem Mann mit Petruskreuz lassen.
    Der falsche vierte Mond wird aus dem Kalender fallen.
    Es verbleiben nur sechs Blätter.

    My story would be different, but I can definitely relate to the video.

    Just today walking round Ul'dah and seeing so many level 50s, I was kinda reminded of the first time I arrived in Jeuno. The great thing about that 'city' is that most of the high levels stayed there and I really hadn't seen that many before I arrived, which was always by a mad run through hostile terrain. It really felt like I had arrived somewhere new because there was a completely different buzz about the place.

    I'm one of the few these days that thinks the journey is too fast. I don't need to be max level. I still remember fondly many things from FFXI in a way that I do not for any other computer games before or after.

    That video always felt a little weird to me. I can appreciate the sentiment and how friends are more important than gear, but the WHM would type things out into the LS chat even though she was the only person in it? For months? Seems a little unhealthy, or at least obsessive.
