Final Fantasy XI- Did you play it?
- Thread starter Yurihyuga

Fine game, if a little flawed. The job system is one of the coolest ideas to come out of MMO's in years.
I hated the races though. Just no imagination there at all. Cliche after cliche. Square are copy and pasting all of them for 14, but giving them different names. Can't wait

that game sucked away my life >.> also I hated the leveling system having to party to level kinda blowed.
Hated the sitting there for 3 hours on sam to get a party and everytime i look no way to make a party with the jobs available.
Then theres the ridiculously hard end game like for example AV and PW. Think some shell beat PW but still no single shell defeating AV without doing the glitch that was fixed.
Then theres HNM camping -.-;; so many bots it was unreal.
However I loved the COP and Zilart missions. I loved being able to switch jobs on one character, and the amount of jobs were amazing compared to the likes of wow.
Then theres gil -.- so hard to make gil on a regular basis and the prices of things got to the point where it would take months of gil farming to get one piece of armor cause of greedy crafters who charge 2000% the price of the mats.
I hope FFIV answers to some of the flaws but i think its just gonna be FFXI just better graphics and just added content and the fact they are copying and pasting the races just makes my theory more likely.
Retired with
75 war/sam/nin/rng/thf/blm/rdm
66 whm
68 pld
45 smn
rest i can't remember bunch of 37s and below

i played but i was on a japense/american server because i got the game when you could only import it, which kinda sucked 
i think i quit with a 57 red mage , 50thief and 47 ranger.
those level limit quests were a right pain in the bum and really werent needed.
the one where u had to get 3 different really low drop rate items sucked, its was like trying to get 3 world drop epics in wow!
something made me enjoy the game though so i'd still give it 6/10
if it werent for the language barrier and waiting all day for a group i'd give it more

The characters move slowly, good leveling spots are far away from the towns through higher leveling parts you lose exp everytime you die and you die a lot if you dont know anyone to party with.
I didnt enjoy it really. I am sure it is better now.

I stopped playing about half a year ago
Firepower- Absolute Zero, Leviathan server
My job kinda stopped me from playing everyday and keeping up with LS activities so i'm very excited about FFXIV since it seems to have been developed with a more casual idea than the 2-6 hour length events (not including gathering time) that i used to attend daily.
The HNM scene as someone mentioned above, nothing as busy as a day 7 nidhogg.

i played untill about 2 years ago or so.. had pld up to 67 or something but got sick of waiting for a group for hours only for it to fall apart soon after. looking forward to XIV though.
went back to it fairly recently but its impossible to level as most people have almost every job at 75 or something now..

they need to sort out the party system in 14 it was fail. No one should have to sit for anything more than an hr to wait to level. I think that was the biggest flaw in FF11.
Not to mention thats what killed most of there subscriptions. Of course there is nothing they can do about it, as thats there engine, would require a lot of man power and months and months of coding to change it. Just hope they learn there lesson in 14.
Atm i have been playing the aion beta and that is a really cool game, coming out retail in september.
Nothing is worser in an HNM shell than drama. I got a ridill after 17 months and got people ********.
