Return Home editionReturn Home to Vana'diel CampaignFriday, December 19, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. (PST) to Monday, January 5, 2026, at 12:00 a.mFor discussions related to FFXI. Do not post about private server drama because no one cares. Also, no one cares about private server vs. retail - play what you like. Keep your delusions in a journal. Yes, this includes you schizos posting about random names in a FFXI thread and staff trying to damage control under the guise of anon.Retailhttp://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtmlPrivate serversCactuarhttps://www.cactuarxi.com/Catseyehttps://catseyexi.com/Edenhttps://edenxi.comEventidehttps://www.eventidexi.org/HorizonXIhttps://horizonxi.com/Phoenixhttps://phoenix-xi.online/homeZenithXIhttps://www.zenithxi.com/Resourceshttps://flippantry.com/skillchain/http://www.ffxicalculator.com/http://www.pyogenes.com/ffxi/timer/v2.htmlhttps://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttps://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Main_Pagehttps://classicffxi.fandom.com/wiki/Classic_FFXI_communityhttp://campsitarus.blogspot.com/Old thread: >>2101251
>>2121481I've seen people post Odin or Bahamut, not sure how to find fellow anons though.
>>2121496is the return home campaign only for existing players or can I make a new account for free??
third for not having anything in common IRL with your partymates these days besides the fact you share the same planet
So we're on how many threads now with the wrong Phoenix link? OP is an idiot?https://phoenix-xi.com/home
>>2121536Apologies, I copy/paste from the old threads. I tried a retail only one before but it was taken over by pservers schizos.
>>2121547I do wonder when you’re going to realize that nobody in these threads wants to play on retail
>>2121496what the fuck is that? FF14 prishe?
>>2121511They normally have the entire seeker's edition on sale for $5 or $10 whenever they have one of these and it comes with a month of sub free.
>>2121503post on /vm/ or /v/ and hope anons join
>Mission Windurst 2-1 on retail>Sends you into a random tunnel with level 80+ enemieswtf?
>>2122318The bats and beetles don’t aggro, but the skeletons do. If you are at the skeletons, you are going the wrong way anyway.
>>2122318SE is a bunch of retards and replaced a lot of early game areas 10 years ago with endgame enemies so that endgamers could farm for CP in more locations than just endgame areas, but now that everyone's gone (or just farming Ranperre's lmao) the level 90 mobs are no longer necessary and just serve as an annoying roadblock for noobs. That, or it's a diegetic way of teaching noobs about invisible and sneak, who knows, maybe SE were geniuses all along
>>2122325Goblin Flesher was literally in my face the second I rounded the corner
>>2122338They added the level 80~90 mobs for Fields/Grounds of Valor camp options.>>2122345I’ll have to go try it again when I get a chance to log in. I remember taking naked characters through there multiple times.
>>2122318welcome to vana'diel
>>2121536It’s cause OP is a fag horizon cock sucker scared of competition. He isn’t copy pasting, it’s a different link than last time.
>>2122566Always somethin with this community. OP is likely a shill either for aerec's server or a simp for someone who is a shill on aerec's server.
>>2122548shut up please and leave, ffxi always had wonderfully structured areas that had clear level ranges. If you encountered a higher level monster, usually NMs, chances are it was aggressive and you messed up. The new monsters not being aggressive despite being very high level is retarded and teaches new players bad habits.>>2122387Nothing to do with GOV, it's the level cap raise. SE went full retard with abyssea and level cap and wanted to give people an option to level if they didn't buy abyssea, but in reality those people just quit because there was nothing to do with the increased level cap outside abyssea and it was far better to afk level in abyssea.
I want a level cap 90 abyssea server. specifically cap 90, with full magian trials weapons and armor upgrades to 90, walk of echoes, the complete WoTG mission set including the lilisette earring(and maybe even cait sith/atomos fights) visions, scars, and heroes of abyssea content complete, voidwatch(maybe with all of the rewards/pulse armor/weapons scaled down to 90), voidwalker nm, and empyrean weapons to 90Why?Because it would be fun. This was peak ffxi.
>>2121676I want to play on retail
>>2123531are you me?
Sometimes I Say IDKAnd Be Knowing
i quit my current MMO and im going play xi, not sure if i should wait for the free login campaign (i have played before briefly) or just get in it now
>>2127125Better to wait it's not even a week away.
Join Odin
>>2127650I played on Odin since 2010, it's full of very good nips, but 3/4 of the server bots. It's a good server IF you speak Japanese.
>>2127659>3/4 of the server botsthat's every retail server
>>2127709You better learn the glorious nipponese if you want to play there, the NA parties are ass.
This is going to be dead content in a week.https://youtu.be/gwF5GEGS7SA?si=obksGji1iyukkUFG>requires coordination across multiple endgame geared groups
>>2128107Retail as a whole is literally dead content in a dead game farmed by the same dozen people running 6-18 accounts so, same shit as always
