What am I in for?
a LOT of reading the wiki
>>722419871Games dead. They killed it to try and get people to migrate to ffxiv, was then on life support for a while, but now no more content updates. Rhapsodies was a great swan song though. So if you just want to treat it like a single player and play for the stories, you will have fun.
>>722420217Thats the plan.
>>722420217>So if you just want to treat it like a single player and play for the stories, you will have fun.thisit's not actually a MMO
>>722420303neither is xiv
>>722420217>dead
>>722419871Play Online filtering you before you start
>>722420367I don't have a problem with that argument, I've never even played xiv
>>722420609does aldoulin content still have a massive timegate? Like shit was ridiculous when I tried to get into it you needed like a month or two
>>722420631Past that part already. Im on the character race select screen and can play later.
>>722420943In-game day wait for most everything now

>>722420609Because of bots/rmts/multiboxers the Asura server was overpopulated, the amount of actual players who play on a single character is not high.
The worst menus and ui anybody has ever created. Even modding can't save it.
>>722419871expensive auction house pricesrewards that require interactions with other players and some players of the opposite genderIRL time gates Bad drop RNG Chest unlocking minigame that overstays it's welcome
>>722419871Great game, lots of content to keep you going for years, I'm mostly playing solo.
Soloing on BLU is the most fun i ever had with this game.
>>722419871>What am I in for?Assuming Retail FFXI. An archaic-designed game that is enjoyable once you understand it. But is extremely convoluted to the point where you need a guide or you will be lost 24/7Assuming Private Server, grinding monsters over and over for a minimum of 100+ hours. And waiting for a party invite sometimes over 3 hours if you play DRG
>>722421401They will be closing Bahamut soon now
>>722421839if I transfer now can I still buy world passes for my amigos?
>>722421690>Assuming Private Server, grinding monsters over and over for a minimum of 100+ hours. And waiting for a party invite sometimes over 3 hours if you play DRGThis stopped being a thing more than a decade ago that ks to Trusts. You can summon your own ai party members now. No more LFG in Junon for three hours because you rolled a DRG
>>722422146Trusts are retail Well, I guess Catseye has trusts too, but private servers are mostly not for people who would use trusts.
>>722422146Some private servers are set in the 75 era with no trusts, like Horizon. So you have to party still.
>>722421665Which is better BLU or RDM for solo play?
>>722422302Until you get very highly geared, BLU is better.RDM in high-end gear is probably the overall best soloist in the game though.
>>722419871I bought FFXI in 2003 when it first came out and played evert day during the 30 day trial but my parents said there was no way in hell they were going to pay for a video game subscription so I never got to continue it. That was back when most people were afraid to use their credit card numbers on the internet so they wouldn't have even let me pay for it if I wanted to.
>>722420943They're actually nerfing the fame and imprimaturs requirements next update.
>wipes thread
>>722421984Yeah probably
>>722423250This but for runescape in 2004
>>722419871play on a private server. horizonXI is the only decent one. it's free and still populated.it's set in the peak time of ffxi (2006)
>>722423250I had to sell my lunch to my friends back in high school in 2004 to pay for my FFXI subscription, since my parent wouldnt pay for it. I would sell my sandwich and chocolate bar for like $1 to my friend every day for 11 days or so every month. I gave them money to my parents who then let me continue playing it.
>>722423802Well my parents thought hackers would steal their credit card number if they used it anywhere on the internet so there's no way they would have let me pay for it at all. They were afraid to even shop on Amazon until sometime in the late 2000s.
>>722423250i had to go buy prepaid visa gift cards to pay for my monthly subs. stores stocking monthly game time cards for WoW was a real game changer.
Post mithra
>>722424436it's all about 5-a for me
>>722423785HorizonXI is shit, lots of waiting time and the players don't know how to play the game, the server is also buggy and sometimes can't even log in, also making gil is a huge problem on the server.
>>722424436I'm a 6-b myself, size small of course
>>722422275>>722422276Nice, I can only imagine the hell that would be without a dedicated static though
>>722425275>also making gil is a huge problem on the server.Why's that? It wasn't an issue for me. Although I was fish botting for a while before I got caught. Managed to make about 10 mil gil before they banned me. You could pull 500k worth of Bastore Bream every 4 hours
>>722425523>fish botting
>>722425775You really expect me, a fulltime working man, to no life FFXI like I'm a teenager again? Spending weeks running the same chores over and over just to get gear? No thanks buddy.
>>722419871Dead mmo that died several deaths and zombie mode. SE refuses to do a classic-ish server.If you play on the private servers, it's people whose fun is ruining yours. Oh and they get really really angry if you don't use macros to switch equipment midcombat every 0.25 seconds.
>>722419871You're at least 20 years late anon
>>722423372they did him so dirty on the mtg set, he should've had undying
I tried to play it but I got filtered by Playonline. really Sovlful platform. Mogstation is utter garbage compared to it.
>>722425982>SE refuses to do a classic-ish server.0% chance they have the code from back then still
People talked about FFXI's death as early as 2006 before the release of Treasures of Aht Urhgan and they thought SE is going to shut down all the servers, so yeah almost 20 years ago.
>>722426130Yeah i missed the boat, i started around 2008 and it was a ghost town not sure what is it now..
>>722426361What the hell does protection from opponents do? Players generally aren't a source of damage or effects.
>>722425937Then the game isn't for you and you shouldn't play it. Either make time or stop playing.
>>722420217>>722420302i have an incalculable amount of hours in this gamewe get enough anons together ill dust off my guy and go with you guyscan provide advice from these threads if nothing elsei played from 360 beta to Seekers and even spent over a year on Nasomi more recently
>>722419871this game literally runs like shit on nvidia back then and today.
>>722428113buttery smooth 60fps on Nasomi
>>722428113Works on my machine
>all my old FFXI screenshots from 2004 are locked behind my old photobucket account>bastards have emailed me every month for the past four years threatening to delete my account unless I pay $5.55 plus tip
>>722428204>>722428276do people use dgvoodoo still or did they move to dxvk or whats the meta now for ff11?
>>722428347why didn't you just download them that's what I did with stuff that I had there
>>722428347you get those too?i replied begging them to delete my shit
>>722428510Sex with Mihgo
>>722428407it was preinstalled with Nas with whatever that launcher was called, only had to enable via command in game
>>722427936They cannot target you with instants or sorceries, all damage their creatures do is prevented
>>722428347lmao me too. I already backed up everything off there years ago but they just won't give up the doom mailing.
>>722423372>wipes thread
>>722419871We're full.
I really wanted to play this game in 2003 but i chose Phantasy Star Online on Game Cube over it for some reason.
>>722429661*drops bomb*
we all agree that Uggy is the worst place on Vana'diel, right?
I used to play this game as a little kid>Parents used me as an organic bot to farm for themHella fun though, thought it was cool as shit and players were nice to me.Do you still have to pay to play?
>>722430265I didn't get lost so it wasn't a big deal. But it was one of the more wiki-centric places due to its mechanics so it requires reading to.
>>722430265>>722431301That Temple and Den of Rancor scared me as a kid
>>722431350Den is terrifying So is Leviathan in that setting
>>722431350>>722431436>dicking around in Gusgen Mines>that loud ass drill kicks on out of nowhere
>>722430265Aqueducts isnt exactly a picnic either
