  • you need add merit weapon skill

  • @LichKingLives WoW is for kids.

  • why do u think all the 14 players are bouncing back to 11? even though its older its still a great game. till this day SE is still adding new content and upping the lvl cap because it was and still is their best game/profit maker

  • First of all im talking about 11 not 14. i could care less about that game cuz it is garbage. ff11 had u pay for more chars because you could be all the jobs on 1 char just go to your house and change to another. and it came out in 02 bro what do u expect, 1080p? besides the fun is in all u can do and the enormous world

  • @LichKingLives

    Are you joking? did you even play this game? or have you been on WoW your whole life? not saying that WoW is a bad game, I played for awhile had 3 lvl 80s, got boring People like you dont understand how IN-depth this game was. FFXI was the first of its kind, and leveling meant strategy and time, not how good your gear was. It was truly a masterpiece and can never be duplicated thats why 14 was such a flop. They tried to change everything and thats why the devs for 14 got fired

  • I'll still admit myself, during the years of active official Ballista 60 cap playing, the sound of Rampage still scares me.... (either always played as BLM or BRD)

  • Looking at this, I also remembered how I love the way they did the casting and weapon skill graphics..

  • This has been the best MMO I have played. I would have been happy if they kept it exactly the same, update the graphics and slap the FF14 title on it..

  • Goddamn I miss this game. What I wouldn't give to be able to go back and play again with all my LSmates...

  • I hate this vid cause it makes me miss ffxi so much

  • oh my god i miss the sound of raging rush so fucking much :(

  • Every time I watch this, it makes me miss FFXI. +6 years to a great game. Hades forever!~

  • Animations are better than ffxiv . thats sad their 8yr old game blows it out of the water

  • @prevbean Nice troll. 

  • @stovnergutt Stating the truth is trolling? let me guess you're a FF14 apologist?

  • @prevbean FF 14 has the best graphics / animation in a online game. But the game itself is not good..

  • @stovnergutt I'll agree maybe on the graphics part which is poorly optimized I may add but no way animations.

  • @prevbean If you try different emotions commands + crafting etc the animations are very good.. What i don't like is the fact that everything is extremely slow. If you mine, attack or simply click on a vendor it's damn slow.. I bet everything i own that if they had much more content, better optimization and questing (classic

    questing everyone knows about) raiding and dungeons etc (i know there are some dungeons but they are somewhat hidden) they would have succeeded in making a good game...

  • @stovnergutt I was talking about battle animations but I'll agree the emotes , crafting etc are better in 14.

    Maybe someday they will fix all those problems but I wouldn't hold my breath at the rate they're going at but you never know.

    All they really need to do is take all the things that made XI so magical (no mog houses, huge areas that copies itself etc) and put it in XIV I don't know why they ignored their last game so much and only taking the races.

  • there will never be a better mmo.granted it took time and dedication. it filtered out the retards, it had the best community because your actions in game actually gave you rep with other players, it made accomplishments actual accomplishments, and still to this day 5 or 6 years later i still miss my LS buddies. It's too bad ff14 bombed the way it did.

  • Can someone please tell me what song is playing in this video? I thought the song was really cool but I could never find the source material... help me out if one still lurks this video please.

  • shit

  • Much cooler than XIV's weapon skills.

  • I play (or played) both games and i can tell both are fucking awesome. While FFXI has the best PVE EVER, it's missing some stronger pvp like wow's. but still, all the enviroments and graphics beat wow's by far... amyway both are different games and both are awesome games, i just wish they didn't have monthly fee,

  • @15Protech

    disgrace

  • @15Protech If your going to make such a bold claim, proper spelling helps.

  • @Ookamikazuchi ok im sorry, my english isnt perfect, Disgrace i guess...

  • why does mithra have to be beast in every job? i want a male mithra in FFXIV =D

  • @iTzH0LLoWSh0Tz Mithras are actually pretty crappy tbh. Elvaan > Mithra in most jobs

  • there are alot of people who will help in the game, go on odin server, best of them ever and real nice guys there. il try 14 but i doubt it will be any better than 11 and worse 99 cap weeee.

  • @zelinkz all the server has a lot of nice guys once ffXI had 2 years completed all the (grosbill) players dissapeared and the game was a lot better!!! ^^ ffXVI will surely be awesome !

  • If you're new to this game you might as well not play it. After about level 10 you pretty much have to have a group to level an there are no more lower levels in the game so you are just screwed. Unless you like running around ghost towns and never leveling don't play this game. Maybe in xiv they won't make you pay for every new toon you want. I believe this is why there are no low level toons in the game now. No one wants to have to pay to experiment with another toon.

  • @sirhc969 It's easier to get a pt now that the servers have merged

  • @sirhc969 I don't think you've gotten past the dunes in FFXI before.

  • @sirhc969 one character can be every class/job in the game, and there are always people to level with if you're on a populated server.

  • I agree with Kael, this game was good till the the overall ridiculousness of how hard it was to level or do anything solo at all. Even exploring got you killed and to LOSE xp, which was so impossible to get in the first place? Not to mention Square=Enix's total lack of concern for controlling RMT's. This game just needs to stop, it would be impossible to start now and do anything with it, unless you had 5 specific friends that only did every single move together at all times, FOREVER.

  • Hard games are good

    inpossible is better

    it keeps you going

  • so cool

  • Wow this looks so lame, to think that by this time of the year they would get character physics right.

  • I defy any WoW player to attempt to play XI. This game was truly the hardest of hardcore, and while it had it's faults it also had a great deal of strengths as well. Here's hoping that the devs have learned some valuable lessons once 14 drops.

    --former Galka PLD/WAR

  • I came from WoW, and so far I LOVE FFXI.

    I'm the Dancing Samurai :P

  • @KaelWolfcry Truer words were never spoken.

  • @KaelWolfcry lmao I agree. Any WoW player who tried to play this would probably cry xD

  • @KaelWolfcry I accept your challenge!

  • @KaelWolfcry they didnt, they fucked up bad :(

  • Comment removed

  • @KaelWolfcry

    11, i mean.

    14 is a travesty.

  • @KaelWolfcry

    I went from WoW to it. It's definetly harder in a tedious way, but WoW heroic-raids are far more challenging.

  • I can't wait for 14 to release in US ; ;

  • Probably the only way someone will ever see Gate of Tarutarus. Too bad it doesn't have a /panic animation.

  • the song in the background is final fanasy X's fight with seymour

  • Just started playing this game again, SOOO many things have been changed.. i played 6 years ago and such... got my char back... AWESOME TOWN

  • This video is cool for people who are considering breaking weapon latents to see what the WS will look like if they havent already. Thumbs up^-^)b

  • is this truly the best game ever made? so ive heard.

  • nope i played it spent 90 quid in like 3 months buying gil etc and got completely ignored by players when i needed a aprty to complete certain quests/missions. don't play it wait for the newer one so you can start off better and end up as high as these fucks

  • party*

  • gf CHINKS arrogant fucking arseholes that are full of themselves yeah don't help new players just suck your own cock in your self loving

  • its not the game that sucks its the players. the graphics are pretty cool and weapons skills etc... its just that most of th eplayers won't take the time you help you.

  • I have to disagree. In my experience, the players were generally a lot more "approachable" than WoW players. Although this game does get points for the style factor, like you mentioned, it loses points for its flaws. Most of these flaws include the extent to which they limited players. Take, for instance, the "Adventuring Fellow" system. This was a neat idea, but the high cooldown on the item made it unviable - especially for the ammount of effort you needed to put into it.

  • sure hope they have weapon skills in FFXIV. Its wat makes ffxi so fun

  • @gazetaze i watched some of the game play videos the graphics n animations r way better... it seems like they do have weapon skills...

  • still going strong, plenty of players. though most are hardcore players still playing from 6yrs+

  • @gazetaze I played for 5yrs....well 5 n a half

  • so hey this windows machine got a virus the other day, while the Mac with built-in firewall and Linux OS.........

  • is it worth coming back? is the community dead? im on the hades server.

  • steel cyclone ftw

  • The Black Mages owns! :3

  • Lol ima start playing again with all my highschool friends now taht im in college we havnt talked so thisll be our way to communicate=P i use to play on ps2 which was fun and i played for free for reasons not going to discuss but im deff playing again for 20 bucks btw on steam you can get the game and every expansion its nice deal we should bring the game back to life.

  • I miss this damned game, I played before chains and quit like right after chains came out. This game rocked because with the subjob system you could do such ridiculous shit. I remember tanking crawlers as a mnk/war all the fucking time. I used to have a JP buddy who would get me into JP parties all the time and just tell me not to say anything haha.

    Pheonixfire on ifrit, you rocked!

  • Its from Final Fantasy X

    Final Battle with Seymour.

  • The -one- time I want to know what music is playing in a youtube video, there's no pop-up.

  • lol they never got these WSs i know this because they did swift blade with RDM AF on which is a PLD only skill

  • 00:34 - 00:37  is like some kinda Atomic Crazy Rush, Fist type weapons seem pretty kick ass.

  • Thanks with the moves.  I bet it took a while to get all of the ws. My favorite was penta thrust DRG.

  • DRG ftw

  • Kitty got skillz :D

  • not sure abotu the FF universe but im kinda inerested, i need to know some of the classes/jobs there are before i buy it lol and if its easy to lvl up and is easy to naviagte in the land :D

  • lets see if i get them all here paldin monk red black blue and white mage scholar ranger dark knight dancer (my favorite) puppet master beast master ninja samurai summoner thief warrior dragoon corsair and bard

    navigation is easy

    and lvling can be easy or hard depending on your pateince

    thats whats i know off the top of my head

  • sweetness thanks

  • great vid!LOVE the seymour song great job!

  • oh, ye. i got bored to WoW in ½ a year :D it just doesnt kick that much anymore. I really hope that XI does it as every FF has done it before

  • oh cool! these look so much better than WoW attacks. Just cancelled my WoW account to get time to start XI, going to buy that on monday. I cant wait to start this, been FF fan for 12 years already :D

  • if your impatient or just dont have a good amount of time to dedicate to the game you may not enjoy this but imo its the best mmo yet

  • Ahhh memories, I played this game since it came out. What was that... 7 years now? I quit a year ago though, ToAU ruined it for me. Basically took all my time in Dynamis and nerfed relic gear with salvage. Even the +1. But man I wouldn't trade anythying for the memories I got out of it.

  • lucky bastards.... in argentina its impossible to play this game, the service doesnt even reaches this far :(

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • do you get a buster sword??!!

  • lol sadly no

  • Is this game online like MMORPG's or just for playstation and all tht.

  • @ arcax12345

    Final Fantasy XI is for the Playstation 2, XBox, and PC.

  • Oh, and yes... it's online XD

  • Where is Sidewinder? D=

  • this game look pretty nice. is this good one?i know its P2P. is this large game?

  • It is one of the best games, I am a Level 30 Warrior, my favorite video game

  • @ SakuSt

    FFXI is the best MMO i have ever played ima lv 75red mage and lv 72dark night been playing 3yrs and havent done every thing on it

  • just got a content ID and havnt made my first character yet, anyone wanna recruit me for the adventurer recruitment program?

  • Comment removed

  • can any one tell me if you stell have to pay monthly on xbox 360 or just buy the year or month card ????

  • still have to buy monthly fees

  • u can buy a year card

  • Yeah you still have to pay but you dont have to have a gold membership on XBL to play.

  • LOL u have to pay for ur Xbox live LMAO i got a ps3 and have free net LOLLOLOLOL @Xbox

    PS3 has wireless connection right out of the box

    and i have a wireless laptop LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

  • You dont have to pay for xbox live to play this...

  • You don't need Xbox Live to play this, you can play it with a Silver Account.

    Also, enjoy your shitty speeds on your wireless connection.

  • i think i will enjoy my wireless connection cuz its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­ee cuz i can use my neighbors net and for another thing its not wireless that sucks its how ur connection speed is dumb ass and i think ur just mad u have a shitbox and not a real system

  • Um, I play on PC. Since when does PS3 or Xbox 360 even compare to a halfway decent PC?

    Also I pay only $30 a month for a 10 meg connection. Like I said, enjoy your shitty wireless speeds.

  • Since the ps3 came out? I have a $3200 Mac and the Ps3 is always going to be better for video games. That's just how cool it is. Besides that, you don't HAVE to use a shitty wireless connection. I don't.

  • You spent $3200 on a Mac and you're expecting a good gaming pc? Sucks to be you! Not even 1k on my rig and I can max Crysis with 50 fps.

  • A ps3 could max any game for it with 60 fps... that's just how consoles are. But the most high end game I was expecting to play on this Mac was WoW. So... lol

  • Thing is about console ports is that they have to dumb down a lot of the graphics, kill the background resolution, etc. I can honestly say that a modern gaming pc would put a ps3 to shame. Hell, I can emulate PS3 and Xbox 360 games on mine and it's not even a powerhouse, only a single video card. PS3 does have the advantage because it can play Blu-Ray, though! I don't have one of those yet, they're still on the expensive side.

  • You can emulate ps3 games... but not play blu-ray? How? Ps3 games are blu ray discs. I guess most games don't actaully NEED blu ray since you said 360 AND ps3. But could you still do it even for the huge games that do? And I've never heard of a game were they dumbed down anything for the ps3... but I've also never layed a game that was ported to it FROM a pc either, so I probably wouldn't know.

  • PS3 emulator + enormous .iso's

    As for ports, I hear that Sacred 2 was from PC -> Console.

  • I was also referring to LeonardLayten's comment, he is stealing his neighbor's internet with his wifi.

    Another thing, we'll see who's system outperforms/looks better when Crysis 2 comes out! ;)

    I just hope that they make it in the same quality as the first one, it's basically the ultimate test for a system. If a modern pc can play Crysis, it can play anything.

  • Fail..

  • How?

  • $3200 You could had bought the lastest hardware and smoke any game...and you bought a mac lmao....FAIL...

  • Your jealous.

  • Yes, I'm very jealous

  • Hes right tho MACs are overpriced fail bots.

  • What is the point of that statement?

    Do you think that is going to make me have a sudden realization that ALL my reasons for preferring Macs are just going to disappear and I'm just going to convert over, because you think they are expensive "failbots"? You would make a terrible lawyer.

  • Na I'm just telling you that you wasted about 4.5 thousand on a fail bot that hardly plays any games at all and hardly and software works on when you couldve just got a quad core pc with a decent ram and graphics card for around 800 bucks like I did. That's all im saying bro.

  • Well a laptop with those things would still be pretty expnesive, wouldn't they? My Mac laptop with good ram and graphics was $3,200

  • @NeroJackHeart Yeah well, lol lets both just agree that macs are expensive lol

  • Look Deeply into my ey---er Text..You are feeling sleepy, sleepy your eyes are getting heavy. when u wake up you will believe MAC are over priced FailBots and convert to a Dell, or a Toshiba Lubber. on the count of 3.... '1'....'2'....'thr---- No? not working for you aiight then carry on with you *spits on desk* MAC devices then...

  • @mozart116 Mac : "Think Differently"

    hahahahahahhaahahahha

  • The animations really aren't stiff.

    A lot of the weapon skills are full body movements with a lot of grace and power.

    And FFXI >>> All other MMOs.

  • Can you play FFXI on PS3!?

  • ya its meant for ps2 but you can play on ps3

  • what job is good for a starter? :s

  • ... can i take thief + ninja?

  • You can't get Ninja until level 30, thief is pretty hard for beginners and as I recall they don't get many party invites, either go with a Warrior, Monk or a Red/Black Mage.

  • monk in pts you dont have a job except for doing dmg so you have no responsibilitys

  • I LOVE this vid!

  • q locuraaaa

  • is it turn based or no?

  • No, but...

    It's like turn based and real time combined.

    Depending on the weapon you're using there is a delay in between your attacks. You attack automatically. Pausing in between to use weapon skills and cast spells. It's a very simple, yet complicated system lol. It's alot of fun if you get into it ;)

  • yea final fantasy XI is still cool just not as cool as i would want it to be, and as for moronic kid?! im 24 with a 173 IQ lol but anyways i just had a more grandios image of what FF online would be like and it didnt live up in my opinion, i was thinking FF 12 graphics with 10000000 times the content and 1000000000000 times more shit to do

  • o rly? Want a pat on the back?

  • dude if you have an IQ on 173 you shod come whit any beter then

    ''1000000000000 times more shit to do''

    dude i have an IQ on 147 and i are 14 LOL

  • Wow you guys have high scores on the Idiot Quiz.

  • Lol at everyone. etji1 reminded me of that "I r baboon" . Didn't meant to offend, ok etji1 =)

  • i know what you mean... it's ok for mmo's to be stiff, but this is too stiff. and the actions for skills and attacks don't vary too much...

    if they took the dot//hack infection/mutation/outbreak fighting mixed with FF12 system as well as FF12 graphics. and like you said blah times content and things to do.

  • Man. They totally took the FF12 graphics and system. Yeah. Considering this game was made 7 years ago I find that hard to believe.

    And when you say it's stiff, you're most likely comparing it to World of Warcraft. I play both and find them to be very enjoyable. FFXI is a better game all around, and end game kicks ass. But it kinda sucks having to party to do everything.

  • i didnt say they took it, pay attention. i was saying that would have looked better.

    as for stiff, i never thought of WoW even once in comparison. it sucks that you have like 3 animations for strikes, and they are like twitches. you twitch stab, then a vacuum forms in the direction you stabbed. the vacuum looks nice, but the stab is lame, especially when the same stab is repeatedly used for almost every other attack as well... do//hack series was stiff/reserved, but it certainly wasnt like this

  • wtf only geeks talk about their IQ...

  • im a huge final fantasy fan but realy.......... when this came out...... i mean final fantasy online HELL YEA!!! but realy...... i mean i love mmorpgs 2 but holy shit its like "well we got 800000000000 hours of content fuck the graphics and controls and playability lets call it a day and go to hooters for some wings" lol fuck all that shit, ill wait till game makers figure this out......

  • Comment removed

  • this game is very easy to control. I like the game its made for patient people not immature little kids who are to moronic to figure out the rpg style mmo with very easy combat system. so thanks for sparing us a noob and not playing =]

  • o and one more thing to clarify, im not completely dissing this game cause yea its final fantasy but it has a name, its like gibson to guitars or boeing to jets.... my point is they got a big name to live up 2 so im always expecting to be 100 percent blown away and honestly after playing other mmorpgs this realy dont look the best and i dont know i just wish i felt the same way i did after first playing FF7 when i pick up every FF game lol sorry sorry guys yes yes its FF i know i know.

  • Im thinking about getting this game on the 360 is it worth it now or has it aged badly and there ant a lot of online players? And anyone know were i can get a copy in the u.k there no were on the net as far as I can find its out of stock everywhere. Please replay would much appreciate it ta

  • I wish there were lights like that when I stab a motherfucker.

  • for a final fantasy game the skills are not jaw dropping !

  • but for an MMO, they are pretty jaw dropping

  • lol the only thing about FFXI I hated, was that once you got agro. you had run out of the zone, which means you could be running for miles in some cases.

  • not anymore. they have a depop system now. if you run fast enough or you have deodorize on, you can make the mob not have go unclaimed. then shortly after it will depop.

  • Man do I wish I had Hexa Strike..

  • lol interesting post for a FFXI video

  • if anybody has an extra verificayion code or knows how to get one can u plz let me know. thank you

  • buy one.... idiot

  • Anyway, WoW drops you in the middle of everything while FFXI eases you into the world. Fast pace people usually go to WoW while the story-goers and people with more free time go to FFXI. Both are fun to their respective groups ("Hack/slash kill all/ solo to goal" to "Work your way to your goal with others"), but how you take it I guess. I'm for FFXI since I'm about story depth and taking my time.

  • I'm with you a bit as far as the story part goes. I loved FFXI, and I still say it's a great game. But after playing both for a considerable amount of time, I just simply have more fun playing WoW, and part of that is due to the fact that if I log on the game, and only have a half hour to play, I can actually get a significant amount of stuff done compared to what can be done on FFXI in the same amount of time.

  • Reason being that you need a group to do most of the content in FFXI, and groups aren't always that easy to come by unless you're a necessity class like tank or healer, and even then it can be tough to get a group for what you want to do. Sure there are crafts, but unless you already have the materials on you, you're not gonna get much done in a half hour. With WoW, I can do quests or grind mobs on my own, and I can get more done in the crafting side of things during that half hour.

  • yea id pick FFXI over WoW anyday...WoW isnt the best mmo, im sorry to say but FFXI isnt either, atm im having so much fun with AoC

  • dude u retarded ? bet u never play wow hack/slash kill all/solo to goal emm WoW pvp is the best and most balanced pvp there is and well it takes time to accomplish things (i'm a big ff fan FF>WoW) but what u r saying is sooo not true and WoW plays morel iek free mmo's? wtf sureee

  • You have no idea what you're talking about. WoW probably has about the worst pvp out right now, it's completely unbalanced, very class favored, and if you're not in full furious you're gonna get your ass handed to you. Guild wars/ DAoC/Aion have THEE best pvp systems out/to come out so look up your shit before you talk shit nigger.
