yeah its kind of insane how many new players are in FFXIV. i did an 8 man trial (mini raidboss thing) earlier and 6 of the 8 were newbies, for one of the 2nd expansion ones.

Now imagine it takes you about 40 hours of real, honest, work to get to that point.

FFXI is a good game now. I'm not even qualifying it, I just straight up enjoy the game. The UI is dogshit, but other than that it's a dang good video game, even if you play basically entirely on your own.

gonna try it

its neat comparing some of these classes to FFXIV. Im following a guide that says probably THF and BLU are good first classes, so im gonna do that. BLU looks insane.

Lol yes I work in the marketing department, we figured if I astroturfed the "jaded MMO player" thread on SomethingAwful dot com that would really boost the sales.

I just like the game and wanted people like me to know about it.

e: but yes, I'll shut up about it

its all good, we should all be able to post about the mmos we like

yeah i sat in eureka in FFXIV for like a good 1.5 weeks a few weeks ago grinding out the relic and armor and i saw the same names there daily, made a couple friends on other servers just from being at the same fates and bosses all the time. little emote exchanges turned into chatting and whatnot after interacting for awhile.

it was fun!

I wonder if there would be a market for premium MMOs where the servers are relatively small and the devs are more hands-on with the populace so its a more boutique experience for a niche audience who pays a premium price for the experience. I think a maybe the rut for MMOs is they've basically hit pretty close to the optimal way, or at least the local optimal way, to please a whole bunch of players cost-effectively. To do more interesting things might need more resources and a more dedicated player base.



there was a heyday of RP ultima online servers that were like this. back when i was like 17 i played on a couple that would pull like 50-100 people concurrent and had poo poo tons of RP events and whatnot. Was really fun if you were into that stuff. was free tho.

ff14 imo has the best storyline of any mmo, it made me feel emotions which was pretty rad, and its gameplay is dope and the boss fights are the best in the genre. and the class balance is crazy good, and they dont rely on fomo bs like wow does now, you can feel free to unsub and come back for major patches or skip a couple and catch up later, is what i do.

Ff14 has the most social scene out of all the big MMOs I think with housing and all that.

wasnt there another online game where you could like pilot a few different ships and you had to protect your mothership or some poo poo, called alliance or something like that

I made some of my best online friends via RP servers on wow/Ultima online/FFXIV, you definitely do a larger amount of social interaction in that kind of environment.

Some of my favorite gaming moments are from a small private RP Ultima online server like 19 years ago

Every MMO needs to take a lesson from FFXIV about keeping old content relevant. Every day in running old dungeons for the leveling roulette, old raids for Alliance roulette,, stuff like that

EW suffers coming after the pinnacle of shadowbringers, I hated how zodiark was dealt with, thought meteon was mid.

I did cry at the urangier/moenbrida part though, they got me good there.
