There's always something to do in FFXI. Vana'diel awaits.

Always.

It's only up to you to judge if the time is right.

I started brand new around christmas. I must say.... I really enjoyed getting back into it. I had quit for a lil while before the first Abyssea came out. I'm not sure if you are starting over or picking up an old character. Either way, you will find there are a lot of really awesome people who are willing to help you get your job geared to relevancy.

To be fair, the game is still very much cookie cutter, which is fine, everyone assumes the popular strats and jobs for pick up parties. That doesn't mean you can't work outside the box with willing experimenters. Especially now the accuracy requirements are reduced and there is less aoe damage to non-tanks in range.

Soooo... for your own benefit, along side any job you wish to focus on... Especially if your gear is not current; I suggest a workhorse job to jump into pick up parties (to get more gear)

I just came back a few months ago. It's fun at times and boring at others, just like the games always been. A lot of people on Bismarck quit which makes shout groups non-existent. With trusts though, the game is pretty solo friendly so it's worth playing again, at least imo, and trying out all the new stuff. Gotta play on pc now though.

Definitely worth coming back to. FFXI is far easier to achieve goals and participate in content than ever before. Gil is abundant, and can be made literally while standing still for 2 minutes. The game has its fun challenges in some of the newer content. Most, however, is pretty easy breezy as far as difficulty goes.

If you're looking to get back into the game, don't be shy. Shout groups may not happen on your server, but you may have to build up a reputation for forming them regularly. Or just doing your own thing until you can get into a group that helps each other.

Between Unity, Sparks, Domain Invasion, Soloable Dyna/Salvage, spAmbuscade, HTBF, or just levelling, you can get much done, and make a decent bit of gil at the same time.

I quit 11 maybe 2-3 years ago now, the only thing I can tell you for certain is there hasn't been anything comparable on the ps3 or ps4 released since. There might be something as good on PC, but idk about it. I've been pretty bored.

Hey fun... nice seeing ya..

Linkshells do still exist and some do events.

Events really aren't the go to get gear fast. most content can be done efficiently with 4 muti job players. Switching it up depending on the nm.

I would advise to catch up with all your missions and complete the Rov story line as soon as you can then work on getting af/relic/empy119/ambucade gear After that it depends on how well you make friends...

We're not having this conversation again. Who was there to take you to your baseball games while the other guy went out to pick up a pack of smokes and some milk?

Literally no one plays this game anymore. In fact, I don't even know what this game is. I've never heard of it. How did I even get to this website. You people are weird. I'm leaving.
