Hey all, thanks for watching! So what MMO was your first raiding experience!
Final Fantasy 11 was so difficult. I remember trying to level with people, being abandoned, and dying over and over again..unable to equip any gear since i leveled down.
Never again. I will stick to ff14 thank you lol.
I played FFXI for 12 years from NA release. It wasn't just my first MMORPG. It was my first online game of any kind. And while I certainly can't see myself going back to it, it will always hold a special place in my heart. It came out when I first left home, on my own for the first time and in the military barracks. Single and with no responsibilities outside of work, I had all the time in the world to pour into it.
I was dug in VERY deep by the time I finally put it behind me. I was a career Bard (the most sought after job in the game), so I got to be a part of every activity the game had to offer. And because of that, I was fully juiced by the time I moved on. Fully upgraded Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla, so I had 4 songs at their max output. I also had all of Bard's RME daggers; Mandau, Carnwhenhan, and Twashtar. And because I was able to get in on every activity in the game, I was able to gear multiple jobs. I was also a fully geared Red Mage, White Mage, and Ninja. I started dabbling in Geomancer before I left, but FFXIV's pull was too strong and I finally left permanently before my Geo was decked out.
Raiding was so demanding in FFXI. And Relics too forever to make. I remember my Linkshell sponsored the creation of my Gjallarhorn. Mainly because they knew that a juiced Bard meant better output for the crew as a whole.
And who can forget the days of "the linkshell's Osode, not your Osode"?
I recently started working on eureka relic weapons in FFXIV. I completely skipped this zone when I was first playing through the msq. I only ever played FFXI for maybe a few hours. It felt weird playing an mmorpg with a controller and I just couldn't get passed that and eventually stopped. But after watching this I realized eureka is essentially a very compressed form of ffxi. It even has the big raid at the end that is its own instance.
I honestly forgot FFXI was even an MMO lol. The only mmos I remember from back then were EverQuest and guild wars, and I never even played them
Nice vid! Memories of forgetting to set my home point before entering Sky the first time 😢. FFXI was just and absolute vulgar display of contempt towards its player base. And we loooooooooved that ish 😂
Audio is very low bad video
