Is FFXI Dead?

Now every time I OP warp to the Derfland region, I'm gonna be wondering where you are.

Ffxi rocks. It putd 2014 games to shame. Elder scrolls online does put final fantasy storytelling to shame, and world phase is great. But jobs, thongs to do, charater growth, economy, socail interaction, ah and so on final fantasy owns!.

Oh and lets not forget its the longest running sub pay mmo game in history!

Come back, all are welcome. I salute too my ff galkss, tarus, mithra, humans, and elves.

To be fair you shouldnt hold on to most gearmore than a year. Espicailly if more than one job can use it.

More importantly, if more people come back thats more people to suck and buy stuff from the established players.

I am just glad 90% of the gear and content can be skipped for returning players, makes it so easy just to take them to bc fights and get them geared up in a few weeks versus having to get skirmish gear, abyssea gear etc.

like Afarnia said you toss gear (well some people do) often so its great just to skip. Be smart about what gear you go for since dont want to waste time getting junk.

A wild Derf appears!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I'm surprised that some of the abyssea gear isn't still relevant as a macro at least for the bump some gives to /ja if nothing else.

It's been a while since I was on and I'm not able to get back on for the foreseeable future. I had deleted my characters so I wasn't tempted to simply resubscribe and use money I don't really need to spend for playing about 2 hrs a month. I didn't feel it necessary to post a big "bye, fairwell, so long, blah, blah blah" like I've seen....crap I just did didn't I, my bad.

I figured if I ever did want to play again I could level MNK and PUP and have the ability to solo as well as join in on groups easily.

One thing I can say about FFXI is that it is what you make of it. If you want to go hardcore and get all the things, you can. If you want to derp around and stand in PJ as lvl99 with no sub and wearing aby perle/pink/purple gear you can (just don't expect to be invited to jack squat). The job combos are strong, leveling is simplistic, and there's a ton of resources on FFXIAH to help even the most brain dead of people. Gods bless the souls that keep updating info on various jobs as well as those who keep theory crafting.

ah yes Derfthegalka, the ONLY thing I miss about the Shiva server :D

It still is relevant, but to be able to jump along on the endgame train as a starting/returning player it's not necessary to get all that beforehand.
You can make due with just a few basic sets and build on from there.

Of course, if you want to be a tad more specialized you can always choose to get the situational pieces.
In the end they still make you play your jobs more effectively.

Isn't that the point in playing end game content? Not to be smarmy, just what would be the point in halfassing it?

I play to be the best sch their is among all servers. In hopes I can open up a school for all my students.

There's an astounding number of players halfassing it. :(

I may have misspoke. There's halfassing it where you don't care that you have crap gear and don't know your job, but expect to get into parties, then there's the know your job, want better gear, but aren't able to either get a group to help, afford to merc runs, or don't play a support job.

But yes, there has been, and probably will continue to be, people that prefer to be lazy and ride the coattails of others. Group dynamics 101.

HAHRHAHHRHAAARRS DANG OLE HARS!!! luve mah broderrssssss!!!!





ps:50k plz why thank ya
