My Brothers played FFXI from 2003, I tried to get into it so late around 2008-2009 during College, but I was so far behind, that I just couldn't get into my own character. I did play it on my Brothers account, when he was busy, because he did Endgame and such. I wish I started when they did, but I'm very familiar with it, I was actually on his account when he got his Attestation of Decisiveness to get his Amanomurakumo for his Samurai. Funny story, he had me farming a Thief Knife for him, then helped a friend do Sky, I didn't erase his Tonberry Hate, because I was going to do it later. I didn't know he'd get hit with Everyone's Rancor for 50k damage, when his character had like 1200-1300 HP. A core memory of mine from the game.

It was a brutal game. I ran one of the top linkshells on Pandemonium server for NA players. WE did Sky, Sea, etc... The games was the biggest time sync of any MMORPG I've ever played.

Like I remember getting a party together, just to sit in one place and kill enemies, as the fast way to level. and once you got to 70...a full night of playing 3-5 hours was ONE level. And if you die, you LOST EXP. Game was special and unique but would never fly today. Good memories though. People mostly looked out and helped eachother and the community was one of my favs.

Amazing art, is it official game art?

No, some Japanese artist who played the game made it.

Game was unique as a MMO in that you could level all the classes on 1 character. You could go to your home and switch. Exp was unique to each class, but it was a cool system.

Be careful what you wish for -- I live in the country and am surrounded by forest preserve. The first time you see a deer in the vegetable garden you say "oh how cute!" and you grab your camera.
The second time you see a deer in the vegetable garden it has a couple fawns with it and you say -- "Oh how cute" and you grab your camera
The third time the deer visits your vegetable garden and proceeds to eat everything - all you want to do is grab a gun.

And yes, tonberrys were fun! And yeah thief knife farming was a thing for a lot of endgame players.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone. I hope your day has been good. I have been crazy busy. Going to do some backreading and then probably pass out.

So that's where FFXIV inherited the class switch system from, I guess that's where gameplay similarities end.

I did pretty much all of that, on my Brothers account. I quit before Abyssea was a thing, if I stuck around longer with trusts or whatever, I could've caught up. I loved Promathia and Aht Urghan, but not so much Wings. The last thing I did before quitting was complete my own Usukane set. Sadly, I only had a few level 75 jobs, before the job cap increase. I got my Brother his Maat Cap. I just couldn't play anymore because I started double majors, and 2 hours of classes felt like 8 hours of homework. So, no time for much else.

Yup. FFXIV was great to. I've played a lot of MMORPGs over the past 25 years, but it's still #1 for me. It just had everything I feel.

It had a great community to. Here is me trying to be cool in my sexy "matrix" inspired leather getup.

Your 270 pounds of dog don't care about them, do they? Both my labs have had an unhealthy Hatred towards deer.

Make sure they dead before putting in back seat.
