Wish I could bring back the feelings that went along with this game years ago. Stepping outside into the ronfaure for the first time, spending days hunting sub job items, getting to jeuno the first time, getting your advanced job, killing the shadow lord, spending countless hours looking for help to complete AF quests, completing so many painful limit break quests, hitting 75... I've never experienced something with so many emotions before in my life, ever.
This game was undoubtedly my favorite game of all time. I still remember how awesome it was when I first hit 10 and could go get into a party for the first time in dunes, or unlocking an advanced job, but the best feeling was when(when 75 was still cap) I unlocked sky access, those were fun times. Miss this game a lot, may return very soon.
@Taruteddy I'm inclined to agree. Removing the restraints was not what the game needed. They should have stuck to the focus that made it great, its story. Still I wouldn't mind returning.
I sincerely hate what this once-wonderful game has become. Granted, I haven't played since abyssea was released, but monk tanking just seems wrong to me when paladins don't really do much of anything anymore; I miss the days of stacking VIT on PLD and just being some huge meat shield. I would kill to just rewind to CoP, but with inclusion of BLU in it because it's the last good thing that has happened to this game. I want to do parties again instead of just abyssea; I MISS the dunes.
I agree. I returned recently after 2 years and these book burns and abyssea parties just burn me out. I did not enter Abyssea until I was lv.78+ because I did not want to pay gil to join, so I had to suck it up and do book burns from level 38-78 in Crawlers nest. It´s terrible. Exp might be faster now, but I get incredible bored much quicker now than before. When I was about to treturn to the game I was actually looking forward to party grinding in many different zones. Too bad much had changed
There was just like an atmosphere to this game that was totally unmatched by any other game ever. The zones, the music, the difficult slow grind with the need to group with others, just getting from place to place and navigating through areas was a challenge. It's a shame the game is different now with the release of Abyssea, and it's just been a lot more casual overall lately which takes away from the depth and scope of the game imo. This video is very nostalgic, I'll never forget NA release.
this was a awsome game back in the day i always loved doing story line missions just wish a new expansion would come out so more story line can be relesed
Brings back good'ol times. Which is why I'll be creating a new character starting from scratch along with a few friends of mine. If anyone wishes to join send me a message :) There will be a vent server at disposal as well :O
ive been a ffxi player since NA release, and i still play today almost 8 years later.... i remember when i first seen this video years and years ago, and it still gives me goosebumps everytime i watch it, its easily the single greatest ffxi video ever
man i miss the old ffxi, its still fun to play, but it sure as hell isnt what it used to be, and the new players will never know what they missed
I'm gonna start off fresh haha! I miss you Midgardsormr. Hello Asura/Phoenix/Bahumut/Fenrir. I wonder if I'll meet all my friends again. I hope, it's been so long. ^_^'

FFXI <3 First MMORPG. Had the most fun playing this game out of any other.
This game holds more fond memories than I can count, ive met some of the greatest people Ill ever meet in any game.Yrpaine, Jesyvut, Steady, Masterblaster, Azeon, Thunder, Blessedangel. I hope you're all doing great - Abbot of Asura
damn man watching all these videos reminds me of ps2 launch for ffxi, amazed to see the lvl 75 walking around, doing quest for 500 gil, playing with the same ppl and competing with one another, racing torwards adv jobs and BCNM's and one of the ONLY mmo with a story line ..... ahhh good times makes me wanna go back * BAHAMUT SERVER*
I remember spending hours powerleveling groups in the dunes and helping people out doing quests. Hell I remember level and getting there sub jobs. Then seeing them go on and get better shit then i did.
The original Valefor Meatster
My bro was a dick and made like 2 more meatsters on 2 different servers when he started playing and after i quit. Think he used my name to get free shit 2.
God this game is so nostalgic, first MMORPG I ever played and the only one I'm willing to defend over even with its 'problems' tooth and nail, sigh it really makes you wonder how FFXIV failed on launch date so hard.
i left this game after abyssea came out with the level cap increase. the competition in the game wasnt there anymore, no more end game competition against other shells. i had my memories on ffxi but i dont think i can return to it. most of my friends on there all quit. Kamezero 75WAR,75SAM,75DRK,75RNG,75BLM,75MNK TheDarkGuys LS Fairy>Sylph
well, i returned to Vana'diel, and im glad, the new expansions for abyssea are awesome ^^, i left to try 14 and rift, 14 was a flop (i assume it will be like 11 and become another amazing game in later years) and rift was fun for a while, but still nothing compares to 11. So i quit being dumb and went back. Haven't regretted it for a moment
@jackalerick not to try and pull you away from 11 but 14 has improved into a completely different game in the last two patches and will be growing alot at the end of september and by the end of october jobs will be completely released. its an exciting time you should give it another chance :P
@mikefmc i agree, i just came back to ff14 yesterday after a 6-7 month leave because a friend of mine said theres quite a bit of changes and i must say its all for the better, its not nearly as broken as it used to be and is actually quite fun. im seeing a shift in the games mechanics to closer emulate what made ffxi so great, which is what they should have done to begin with
and i have been reading about whats to come and i am excited about it, for the first time in quite a while
i need to ask this, what video software did you use to record and create such an awesome vid? seriously i wanna try to make me one for my character on ff11
without a doubt this game is unlike any other. the choise of music and everything. purfect and will live on forever. Kujata server now merged with valafor.
I've been playing for 4 or 5 years now and a lot has changed... some good, some bad. I wonder if I'll ever find a better hobby, but I haven't heard of one yet. :)
Guys i havent played since 2009. i had 75 pld brd and sam. My account is now gone.. I'm willing to start over in a few months. The big question is.. is it too late?! Current players, please let me know!!! hows the ffxi community doing ? on ffxiah im seeing lots of shutdown servers.. I wanna come back, but to start over, id need to know that ffxi will still be running for a few more years.
Well of coruse there's less people, but if you join a populated server. I'd like to come back myself, but no money to reactive my account. I miss my days in this world.
@hackleman games gone to shit theres no nostalgic feel to it any more all there is, is Abyssea now...Bleh, you can get to level 90 or 95 whatever the cap is now within a few days-week id say
This takes me back from the first day i entered vanadiel untill the years i played on pandy server, all good things come to a end and i had a blast and made lifetime friends even 8yrs on we still keep in contact and play other mmos together.
nothing tho can compare to when we took a ride threw vanadiel awsome video but makes me sad to watch it.
@xellith yea it is on easy mode iv been playing this game since 2004 so yea its on easy mode for more reason then i care to explain on this, one of the big reason is we know how to play better( as in what jobs and spells work with what best to get stuff done), but with abys i can damn near solo every mob in there and duo most if not all. the opeing of the sub jobs to 45 was a big help. im not saying its the end of the world but it is 10x more easy then it was in 2005-Eternalkaiser-valefor/kujant
used to be a 75WHM/50NIN mostly.. ("Orderedsushi" on Leviathan)really good times playing this game.. but after researching a whole bunch, it seems like getting back into this game now will never be the same as before.. It's actually really sad because when this game is done and said, there may never be a game like this anymore especially after seeing FFXIV's release.
@Xellith well i didnt say easy mode but i did kinda mean that. And yeah i know u cant go 99 yet but u will be soon enough. Seriously tho theres so many people who dont even know where the boyahda tree is... mind u there lvl capped people lol... its just sad to me to see so much old great content like that go to waste.
One of the hardest things had to do recently was quit XI. I'd been mulling it over as I hadn't been able to keep a regular-enough schedule for a static or LS and I kept falling behind. But a job loss sealed the deal and I walked away from four years of amazing, frustrating, lovely, incredible, painful and exciting memories.
Soloing on WHM is nigh-impossible but I loved to heal and help and *that* is what pains me - missing out on helping others enjoy such a wonderful place! RDB and Milk, /bow
Hey, if anyone agrees with me, I think ffxi deserves a remake, not another expansion, but an enhanced version of the game as a new one, I'm working out the things for the story, thumb me up and send me a PM if ur interested in learning more
@cewolfen I seen this Video many times, but now I just came here to say exactly what, oddly enough, has been said by the last person to post here, too. If any game deserves a remake IMO its FFXI as it was. Not talking FFXIV, but a new grafics FFXI, leave the battle system basics, leave the party leveling concept, leave the highly team based endgame, create some new amazing storys for it. Leave Jobs and abilities! You have an amazing balanced game it just needs an update and fuel.
Long live Limexican.. lol.. Go odin.. man... i started playing this game in jun of 06'.. quit in aug of 09'... for college, honestly i am glad that i stopped playing, but i do miss kicking ass in sky/sea/limbus and all of that jazz.. This game was simply the best.. no questions, and will always be apart of my memory.
@Pherox83 aw man, them were the days. too bad abyssea fuckin ruined the game. lvl 99 noobs runnin around not knowing SHIT about the game... namely lots of things u just listed. Day1 here, KUJATAAAAAAAAA LONG LIVE SIMIAN. Love this vid, reminds me of when FFXI was awesome =( this vid is still awesome. SO much nostalgia every time i watch it. Miss u vana/old friends. Eat shit abyss/newbs.
I dont get all this talk of FFXI easy mode. The game has always been easy for those in groups of enough people with good enough gear. Those people with the gear trying their best to keep all the gear for themselves and their own LS.
For average joe which is about 90% of the entire game the game isnt on easy mode. Its on "hey i can finally get stuff occasionally" mode and not "stand around for 3 hours waiting for NM to pop" mode.
trains to zone in garlaige citadel. light weather above sky. beatin the airchip BC. gettin your reward from divine might. climbin up the mountain in attohwa chasm just for kicks. noob party wipes in valkurm dunes. gettin your fuckin subjob items. the ancient papyrus for genkai. maat. raisin your own chocobo. dying on your way to jeuno. downleveling. dark spark. shadow lord. /shout conversations in aht urgan. fenrir fight. LV 75 in bibiki bay. thumbs up if you know what i'm talking about.
CRUIA YOU GODDAMN MOTHER FUCKER I STILL WANT TO FUCKING HATEKILL YOU SO MUCH EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG ON MY FUCKING IPOD BECAUSE I STILL LISTEN TO IT
BUT FUCK YOU ANYWAY FOR PIRATING ALL THE GODDAMN SOFTWARE TO DO THIS YOU FUCKING HACK PIECE OF WORTHLESS PALADIN SHIT
@GDI109 I played FFXI for seven years on Levithan, did Dynamis with Cruia, Victalyssia (the WHM elvaan), the PLD (Gesper), the RNG Mithra (Jaydee) and pretty much 80% of everybody in this video. Cruia pirated all his video editing software and always bragged about it before dynamis, so, I kind of grew to just think he was a cock.
@DiosGX awww that sucks, i used to be a paladin too back in the day but i quit in 05, ironically enough i was a paladin, level 68 ish i think? anyhow i digress, we should totally figure out where this guy lives and fuck him up!! :D
@GDI109 I was a Paladin too, actually. I think that's why I hated him. Not feeling like I was threatened, oh no. I remember back in... I think 05 actually, he was tanking as PLD/NIN in Lufaise on Rams and Abraxas. Victalyssa was his WHM at the time and was telling me how well his tanking was going. And man, do WHMs have stories about tanks. >>;
Also, I'm a FFXIV player and I've gone back to FFXI until they fix XIV. XIV is so dry and on XI you can Abyssea grind to 90 and get a small party to do all they old expansions in a few short runs. No more capped fights. :D
I missed my LS-Phantasmagoria friends with so many memories, and adventures together. Problem is that there's to much time consuming so... Yeah, I will still have FFXI dreams forever.
@hipdoctorindie i decided after deleting my account in june that i just cant not play it anymore and so im downloading the game right now and getting my old account back :D a few level 75's, high crafting levels, lots of missions done and some pretty solid gear cant wait to level up to 76 after 4+ years of 75 :p
@silvyr heheh I can't say. Heh, actually I'm on the fence about this return to Vana'diel campaign. I need to decide one way or the other before too long, so that we have enough lead time to stir up interest and pick a server for us all.
I think there's a lot of people returning to FFXI. I started in 2007 and played hardcore for like two years. My prized possesion was Byakko's Haidate, it has been outshined by new Artifact gear; this is a good thing though.
Looking to the future, Haste gear is really easy to get now. The new FFXI team is doing good things for returning players. I heard the new leader is the same guy who made Chrono Trigger.
@Crazytaru1 I was very hardcore in FFXI, I would go back to it, but it just requires so much time. It's definately a harcore game. If you have a hard job it's basically impossible to play this game. I mean a real life job.
@landis69 I'm assuming you played years ago... FFXI is a pretty different game with Abyssea being pretty much the only event worthy of being done at the moment and it truly is content that allows you to just get in and out quickly. Oh, and leveling is a breeze there too. They recently raised the level cap from 85 to 90 (Yes, we're beyond 75 now) and I hit 90 within a few hours of the servers coming back online. It's crazy now.
@TenchiHawkwing I wanted to come back to it but that new verisign credit card thing stopped me. I live in Bermuda and my cards aren't accepted, so i'm screwed.
@landis69 Oh yeah, I know a number of people who got screwed over by that... it sucks. Supposedly there's a way around it by talking to customer service there but it's much more of a hassle than it's worth! Well, hope at some point you get another chance to check it out. It's almost a whole new game now (aside from the low level stuff which is mostly the same)
@1993TRS1 that becuase you playing a 8year old game and ffxiv is a few week old give it time to become better then ffxi as of right now yes ffxiv have noting but ffxi at the start was shit too
@Zenshiro14 true, shame that the creators did to good of a job to make it, so it was nothing like other MMOs out there. Guess that was a big foo-paw. When XI first came out, I dare say FFXI set the standard for MMOs at the time. Now for some reason FFXIV is doing the complete opposite.
@GuardianMio learn your facts before saying anything FFXI was jsut to test if they could make a MMO FFXI for everyone now seeing how ffxiv was just a beta for ffxiv. The game came out all fuck up before the gay CEO hurry them up.
@GuardianMio I agree. I been a 5 year vet of XI and love it to death when XIV came out I played it for about 3 weeks (witch imo is good enough of a chance to judge the game properly) and I just can't stand it. SE should have left the interface of the game machanics/menu options/setting all that stuff they should have left the same as XI. It feels so much like WoW it makes me sick.
@hipdoctorindie If anyone else is starting or returning to FFXI, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know. A group of people from around where I live are restarting it and was wondering if anyone else wanted to be part of our static group. Message me if you live around EST Time Zone and if you're interested.
Desdamona, Caitsith Server, 3 years playing, i miss it every day. Supremejudgement was a Aweseom Linkshell. i still have pics of us together complete COP, Divine might, ZA, and so on and so on. Remasa, Mandarb, Xetas, Toxicity, Rain, Yunnie, Ironscowl, Kraizyguy, and many many others i forgotten. My heart will always be in Vanadiel and with u all.
Dude. Johnnyblazedanketch I just check the america servers. There are 25 up right now on the official website and a test one up as well. What are you saying? The only reason I'm replying is because I have wanted to play for a while, but really recently have been itching to play! I'm buying the game in a week.
This game was taken off the map today, all servers have closed the last server ASURA has been erased. Thank you everyone who enjoyed and played the game to its cancellation. Rest in Peace Final Fantasy 11...
@Johnnyblazedanketch So this happened a month ago? hmm that's funny you think there would have been some type of special farewell thing for Xi not some dick with his finger up his rectum typing pointless bs to get attention.
I miss this game. It's been about two years since I quit. Since then,I've picked up other MMO's and tried playing them,but always compared them to FFXI. I miss the immersion of Vana'diel. The community was always helpful. There were friends I made there that were just some of the most amazing people. I'll never forget the hours I spent playing FFXI. It is one of the most memorable games I've played,and while writing this comment,tears were coming to my eyes. It's just.. Such an amazing game.
I played this game for 3 years. But, I realized that I was playing mostly cuz of that MMORPG addiction of always wanting to improve your char. I had fun... and frustration. After 3 years of play I saw A LOT of flaws and things they could've improve. Then, I just hated that game so much for making me pay around 10 bucks per month for a game that wasnt so well made. Yes, it's fun but think about this:
if you enjoy playing a game, does it means that it's actually good and well made.
It really is the best... you can watch this and instantly remember how amazing every bit of the game was when you first experienced it. I've long since moved on, but I will never forget FFXI.
every time a push wow, or it pushes me away, for some reason i go back to it. i just started a new player and realized it is the worst mmo i have ever played, i thank finalfantasy XI for letting me see that.
Great game for veterans. Still playing: Pensiri @ Asura Server
I would advise newcomers to have second thoughts about starting this MMO.
The playerbase is mostly well seasoned veterans, newbies will have a hard time getting help since older players are focused on fine tuning their own legacy. This has lead to the majority of its playerbase becoming unstable socially. There are always exceptions per server, but that's the risk you take.
This is by far, the most strategic MMO I have ever played to date. I alpha tested FFXIV, and I was disappointed in it to be honest, I am not allowed to disclose anything beyond that. I don't think anyone will release a game with similar gaming mechanics, or the extreme difficulty, teamwork, and unique value as this game has.
This should seriously be the video SE uses to give people a look at the game (if they were ever to do so). Even if it is a bit outdated... nonetheless an amazing video though.
Wish I could bring back the feelings that went along with this game years ago. Stepping outside into the ronfaure for the first time, spending days hunting sub job items, getting to jeuno the first time, getting your advanced job, killing the shadow lord, spending countless hours looking for help to complete AF quests, completing so many painful limit break quests, hitting 75... I've never experienced something with so many emotions before in my life, ever.

well, i returned to Vana'diel, and im glad, the new expansions for abyssea are awesome ^^, i left to try 14 and rift, 14 was a flop (i assume it will be like 11 and become another amazing game in later years) and rift was fun for a while, but still nothing compares to 11. So i quit being dumb and went back. Haven't regretted it for a moment

@jackalerick not to try and pull you away from 11 but 14 has improved into a completely different game in the last two patches and will be growing alot at the end of september and by the end of october jobs will be completely released. its an exciting time you should give it another chance :P

@mikefmc i agree, i just came back to ff14 yesterday after a 6-7 month leave because a friend of mine said theres quite a bit of changes and i must say its all for the better, its not nearly as broken as it used to be and is actually quite fun. im seeing a shift in the games mechanics to closer emulate what made ffxi so great, which is what they should have done to begin with
and i have been reading about whats to come and i am excited about it, for the first time in quite a while

@xellith yea it is on easy mode iv been playing this game since 2004 so yea its on easy mode for more reason then i care to explain on this, one of the big reason is we know how to play better( as in what jobs and spells work with what best to get stuff done), but with abys i can damn near solo every mob in there and duo most if not all. the opeing of the sub jobs to 45 was a big help. im not saying its the end of the world but it is 10x more easy then it was in 2005-Eternalkaiser-valefor/kujant

One of the hardest things had to do recently was quit XI. I'd been mulling it over as I hadn't been able to keep a regular-enough schedule for a static or LS and I kept falling behind. But a job loss sealed the deal and I walked away from four years of amazing, frustrating, lovely, incredible, painful and exciting memories.
Soloing on WHM is nigh-impossible but I loved to heal and help and *that* is what pains me - missing out on helping others enjoy such a wonderful place! RDB and Milk, /bow

@cewolfen I seen this Video many times, but now I just came here to say exactly what, oddly enough, has been said by the last person to post here, too. If any game deserves a remake IMO its FFXI as it was. Not talking FFXIV, but a new grafics FFXI, leave the battle system basics, leave the party leveling concept, leave the highly team based endgame, create some new amazing storys for it. Leave Jobs and abilities! You have an amazing balanced game it just needs an update and fuel.

@gumslinger you cant get level 99...
I dont get all this talk of FFXI easy mode. The game has always been easy for those in groups of enough people with good enough gear. Those people with the gear trying their best to keep all the gear for themselves and their own LS.
For average joe which is about 90% of the entire game the game isnt on easy mode. Its on "hey i can finally get stuff occasionally" mode and not "stand around for 3 hours waiting for NM to pop" mode.

I think there's a lot of people returning to FFXI. I started in 2007 and played hardcore for like two years. My prized possesion was Byakko's Haidate, it has been outshined by new Artifact gear; this is a good thing though.
Looking to the future, Haste gear is really easy to get now. The new FFXI team is doing good things for returning players. I heard the new leader is the same guy who made Chrono Trigger.

@landis69 I'm assuming you played years ago... FFXI is a pretty different game with Abyssea being pretty much the only event worthy of being done at the moment and it truly is content that allows you to just get in and out quickly. Oh, and leveling is a breeze there too. They recently raised the level cap from 85 to 90 (Yes, we're beyond 75 now) and I hit 90 within a few hours of the servers coming back online. It's crazy now.

@Zenshiro14 true, shame that the creators did to good of a job to make it, so it was nothing like other MMOs out there. Guess that was a big foo-paw. When XI first came out, I dare say FFXI set the standard for MMOs at the time. Now for some reason FFXIV is doing the complete opposite.

@GuardianMio learn your facts before saying anything FFXI was jsut to test if they could make a MMO FFXI for everyone now seeing how ffxiv was just a beta for ffxiv. The game came out all fuck up before the gay CEO hurry them up.
Zenshiro14 1 year ago
@GuardianMio I agree. I been a 5 year vet of XI and love it to death when XIV came out I played it for about 3 weeks (witch imo is good enough of a chance to judge the game properly) and I just can't stand it. SE should have left the interface of the game machanics/menu options/setting all that stuff they should have left the same as XI. It feels so much like WoW it makes me sick.

I played this game for 3 years. But, I realized that I was playing mostly cuz of that MMORPG addiction of always wanting to improve your char. I had fun... and frustration. After 3 years of play I saw A LOT of flaws and things they could've improve. Then, I just hated that game so much for making me pay around 10 bucks per month for a game that wasnt so well made. Yes, it's fun but think about this:
if you enjoy playing a game, does it means that it's actually good and well made.

Great game for veterans. Still playing: Pensiri @ Asura Server
I would advise newcomers to have second thoughts about starting this MMO.
The playerbase is mostly well seasoned veterans, newbies will have a hard time getting help since older players are focused on fine tuning their own legacy. This has lead to the majority of its playerbase becoming unstable socially. There are always exceptions per server, but that's the risk you take.
