Will WoW Classic Affect FFXI Playability?

nobody gets banned, and he's a much lower priority than tards like shichishito or ape

he's not actively using ffxiah to sell gil and he's usually right

thats funny, he thinks we have staff here.

You and I have very different definitions of right.

who is this ape dude and how did i make it on the celberity list?

Definitely not for your spelling.

Why do you have to cop that *** persona all the time? I don't get what benefit you get, this isn't 2006 BG. You obviously care to post on random thoughts etc to entertain yourself with conversing with people, might not get so much hate that way. Not even Thorny has that attitude anymore.

i agree, what else could it be tho? are my memes too dank?

This is my bigger issue with Eiryl, I'm not sure I'd agree that he's "mostly right" simply because of his pessimistic and negative "in your face" way to talk about EVERYTHING. He always reminds me of my 2007 self when I quit the game and spent the next year in a rage talking down on the game endlessly all while I didn't play anymore.

Anyway, if subs are down right now, it's a more recent thing. As the reason they gave in the interview about getting 3 years of funding is that their numbers are holding steady or going slightly up, so the company is showing confidence in the game to give it a solid 3 years to work on things. And in my little group I know of 5 accounts that have been turned off to go play XIV for the moment. We'll see when we pop back in.

its the RMTing and stuff man. once you doing that jazz the e-peen shrinks rapidly and you get depressed realising you getting none of those internets fame points to attract sweet e-vajayjays. from there on out its a vicious cycle.

Do they usually have the Return Home in August? I thought it was just May/November. I guess they really are worried about WoW Classic.

Every 3 months.

Is debatable. I dont feel WoW classic will affect FFXI because 99% of public of this game are loyalFans.

Modern MMRPGS have a lot of features that boost your GAMING-EXP but breaks your SOCIAL-EXP.

1.- Group-Finder: Is fantastic with a single CLICK an automatic AI-algorithm can create a group for you. Sadly this kill the social interaction most of the time and these players feels like "BOTS" helping you on a duty.

2.- People can play the game 30 minutes per day and still progressing: Is amazing playing expert-roulete + trials-roulete is enough to cap your tomes per week. Problem is this kill your REWARD-FEELNG making insane boring the game.

3.- Creating content for CASUALS. The quests are extremely easy and you can 1-2 shots every enemy on the area. Sadly this kill your progression-feeling. The game is so easy you can play on auto-pilot brain-dead zombie mode with zero efforts or interest.

I feel 2013 to 2017 everygame went for the casual way but on 2019 with WoW-Classic being on fashion is necessary to find the right Spot between CHALLENGE + CASUAL without make a brain-dead game.

Retail FFXI should revamp LV75 content into LV160.

Sky Divergence, limbus Divergence, Einherjar Divergence, KSNM99 Divergence, Zenith NM Divergence, abyssea Divergence, VW Divergence, Sea Divergence, SoA bosses Divergence, legion Divergence, HNM Divergence, ambuscade Divergence 12 man ver etc. All this with LV160+ monsters.

6 man version ILV120
12 man Version ILV121
18 man version ILV122
Apex-Mobs on "Legacy lv1-lv75" camps. Valkrum, qufim, yuthunga jungle etc To have a bit more variation.

I'm not saying this thread is *** stupid...but it is on FFXIAH...

I've been looking for the FFXIAH staff so they can tell me where I can find this Waldo guy...

SE would claim they don't make enough money to do any of this in the next 20 years despite clearly making $millions a year, having no staff and questionable server hardware.

Nothing wrong with classic wow,,

Still looks dreadful. I could never play a cartoon like that.

YES, FFXI IS MORE SOPHISTICATED AND MATURE!!

My only issue is that when he went hyperbole mode and post exaggerated comment I have tendency to reply, then it annoyed both of us >.>

Otherwise he is usually right and quick to share SE info. I don't care much about random thoughts on forums. I do that a lot myself so /shrug.

I think it's funny that people think this website has "staff"

Scragg pays only with nachos, and he's 5 years behind on payments.

WTF. They just sent me an e-mail that mentioned the usual Ambuscade crap. I only came here because it also mentioned PUP changes (which turned out to be minimal) and I would not have known if you hadn't mentioned it. But then again, they don't send the Return Home event e-mail until the last moment, and often don't even update their web page until just before it happens, so I've had times when I check every few days to know the exact week.

It's true though, it's always been May and November since after the first few, at least unless they've been neglecting to mention it to those of us who try to keep track of them on the old wiki and would have played. I have no problem if they've decided to change it to every three months, but that would be a new thing.

I thought about going to WOW classic. I never liked WOW and FFXI was so much better...
Right now I play FFXIV and bounce back and forth between FFXI and FFXIV. Neither game really trips my trigger anymore and FFXI and FFXIV seem to becoming the same game in allot of ways.. FFXIV content is just so easy you can fly through it so there is time for other games so I come back to FFXI. I play MMO's for community and they all seem to be going away from it.. FFXIV just added trusts making the game even more antisocial.


Honestly I would play a retail version of FFXI classic. I have friends on Eden now and they love it. Might just go there at this point. Paying for two games because really they are the only-thing out there at this point.

only for a limited set of dungeons, and it is slower than an actual group of people doing those dungeons.
they work tho, cause you can 1st time check those dungeons at your own pace, RP trough them, or not in a mood to deal with people, or queues taking forever.

Good for tanks who are too shy to run through a dungeon for the first time with people

I'm so confused when anyone says XI and XIV are similar games. They're drastically different games in every way except environment/genre. The battle systems are nothing alike, there is arguably more similarity between XI and XII than XI and XIV.

I also don't get people who claim to play "for the community" but seem to play games alone these days. I play XI with my friends, who I met in XI, the same way it works for just about everyone here. If you're still pugging you're either freshly returned or not very good at making friends, and that's saying something coming from me.

I will never understand the draw of XI classic. Current XI has every advantage of old XI, but without the endless hassle and thankfully only a few of the painful "mechanics" of old (hi2u 450 Gin kills for Ashera). I'd consider trying Eden with friends just to show the game isn't as "hard" as people make it out to be, but I could never get motivated behind that concept to actually take it to that level, lol.

I still think XI now is a better video game than XI then. Whereas wow then (or classic) is a better video game than wow now.

Wow used to be about being part of a world, not being the hero of it. It completely 180'd from where it started. XI through the years still stayed pretty close to what it always was. The extra convenience didn't killed the community nearly as much as quad+ boxing did. XI never got party/event finder to auto match you to faceless, nameless people. You still have to worry about making groups, or making yourself attractive to groups.

Be awesome, be the villain, be the village idiot, be Ronstadt... But don't be faceless, if you simply but care about being a part of the community, the games gonna be a hell of a lot more.

Ronstadt best player on Asura. Can't change my mind.
Him and Cheg rival each other.
