Gonna give this another try I think after about 10 years.

Should I use a controller or did they make using a keyboard not terrible at some point?

Is there any reason to grind low level gear or should I just grind to max level before I do anything? I was trying to get Leapin Lizzie to spawn so I could farm bounding boots but gave up

They have a mog garden event here and there where you can buy the stew for 100k each. As a log in item, they mail it in for login events so don't count on that.

Crafting isn't worth it unless you go for the ultimate poopsock item.

Unless you like being poor and love flagrant self abuse crafting is a shitshow right now because of the shields. The first few stages are fine but the last one is a gigantic shitshow gil and time sink. Since other people had a headstart and bots, people have already finished shields and completely ruined the market of high end craftables on asura.

Systematic System posted:

It is also difficult to say what is "vanilla." FFXI wasn't released outside of Japan till the first expansion came out. The level cap was initially 50, but it was up to level 65 by the release of Zilart. People originally fought the Shadow Lord at level 50 when it was a real hell of a fight. I think of classic FFXI as being everything up to CoP, ToAU was a transition period where the game was getting a bit kinder and a little bit less of a grindfest (until Mythics anyways), and then WoTG and Abyssea bring us to the modern era of FFXI.

Classic FFXI is a poo poo game from any modern perspective I think, but I still feel the siren's call of CoP once in a while. That was a good time to play (probably because I was in high school).

(https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/The_History_of_Final_Fantasy_XI if anyone wants to see how FFXI has changed throughout the years, especially in the era before the Western release.)

Yeah like I played the modern version in like 2018 and I let my AI teammates kill the shadow lord while I was looking at my phone. I just think it would be fun in a grindy old school mmo way to do the fight with 5 other players as intended
