There's a bunch of campaigns going on right now as well.

Anyone with an account can come back and play for free next week.

There's like 3x XP of all sorts for new or returning players, lots of money making events, etc. Great time to start back up.

You could follow the OP for a free trial. I haven't done it but I sure hope it really isn't as bad as >>376774889 says.

Otherwise, I think the game is like $30 with all expacs and a free month. It may go further down in price ~$10-20 though in the next week weeks so I'd keep my eyes peeled. Until then, hop in the discord and we can help you out

I had a good time going through all the stories back when a couple years ago. Beating Rhapsodies chapter 3 at launch and even getting my voice in the chorus for the finale's song was quite the thrill.

Highly recommend anyone to give the game a shot if you never have, it's gotten better for the current audience of video games. I know it's not how it was for the old players, but it's still fun to go through at least once to say you did it.

Can relics really be made in just a day? I made an Aegis when you could solo Dynamis (one entry per day.) I believe there's no cooldown now, but even if you played for 24 hours straight, I don't see how you could make a relic that quickly.

I've also got a couple 90 empyreans. Is it still nigh impossible to solo 90-99 in a reasonable time?
>>
>>376774232

You're better off making gil and buying the items for the 95 and 99 upgrades to Empyrean, unless there's a Voidwatch campaign happening, which there isn't. Just missed one of those actually.

>>376781237
if you have the money, just buy all the currency. it's dirt fuckin cheap because all of the relics save 3 or 4 are hot garbage compared to the other RMEA options.

grinding up an empy is still a pain in the dick and a giant money sink. 119ing and afterglowing one you're looking at about a 300mil gil sink.

mythics are even worse

XI has made SE more money than any other game, and it having a sub is why they still update it monthly, they've even talked about another expansion in the future if enough people play.

the real question is how the fuck can you not afford 13 bucks a month? it's a pretty damn good deal considering it's 15 years worth of content.

you pay far more for far less reward in other games

the game doesn't hold your hand, tell you where to go, how to do shit, it just throws you in and expects you to figure it out on your own or by asking others for help

you cannot make it through this game effectively without some form of outside help, any regular player will tell you they have wiki tabs open pretty much constantly

old xi was even more extreme in these regard, and was much more dependent on team work. you simply could not get anywhere without making friends and tackling shit as a group

it doesn't help that SE has hidden the inner workings of the game's systems for its entire lifespan.

and also.. this game has the biggest min-max ability out of probably any game ever made, at least that i know of. there's so many unique stats and gear changes, you have to write fucking LUAs to operate it all for you.

Stop lying to them. You can only get good exp if you get a ring that gives 3x exp, and it was anniversary event only. phags

I started from scratch in January and I quit originally around the same time frame as you after playing since NA release.

The amount of content you can and should do can be a little over bearing while you're starting out, but I've since gotten into the swing of things and I'm having a lot of fun. Getting shit done and experiencing a fair amount of the end game so far.

If you really think you want to try XI again, it's worth it.

I have no idea why SE won't re-do the installation process and do a simple overhaul of the registration.

Even FF14 sucks to navigate their moon site on a regular browser.

Also, why not just make FFXI base game f2p up until level 30 or something? I'd actually make the effort to install it again.

All my friends from my original linkshell (Garuda) lasted from 2004-2008. With two of us left, we joined another LS, the last remaining friend from my original left in 2010.

In our new shell, we went from 2008 to late 2016, where the last remaining guy aside from me has left.

absolutely. XI has the deepest lore out of any ff game, and a pretty damn good story across all the expansions.

you can play with NPC party members (trusts) through the entire campaign and just pretend you're playing online FF12 if you want.

If you never did the campaigns/missions, for the most part yes. As a level 99 character you can solo *most* all of it alone with trusts if you purely just want to see it all through. Wings of the Goddess is still a bit of a PITA as is the beginning of Adoulin but its not too bad.

Can it be solo'd (with trusts) now?
>>
>>376783198
It's not hard to get back at all. Leveling is basically a solo affair now and you even get free gear for doing basic "quests" like killing X amount of monsters.

Just level to 99, get as many trusts as possible, and go do whatever you want from there. Reddit has an active community with plenty of new/returning player guides.

my friend, everything after adoulin has been a recall to old xi, except instead of needing 18 fucks for everything, you need 3-6 fucks.

JP parties are basically old school exp pts. melees make a skillchain on crabs, mages magic burst it. you camp out and chill.

adoulin brought back a lot of old ffxi ways and rov content just reinforced it

the difference is you don't need a fuckload of people and time to get something done, and the game is way faster/spammier now

You can lockstyle (this game's glamour system) whatever you want so long as you naturally would be able to wear it on the appropriate job normally. I.E. you have RDM 75 so that would let you wear the RDM relic set on any other job as a lockstyle.

How am I being an "elitist fuckface" for suggesting that the weapon you want is actually the easiest RMEA variant to obtain and thus wouldn't take any more than some of your time, significantly less than the other variants, and it's all yours to run around as much as you want?

I'm not being elitist. You're being a baby. Suggesting that you actually play the game is not elitist.

I assumed square never bothered to port it originally because you could just play the ps2 version on the ps3.

DRK KClub blitzing just burned a few minutes off your kill times.

The combat is focused, usually, on one monster at a time, and is far more complex than the global cooldown rotations of things like WoW and XIV

Well, that's cool and all but is it really worth it joining the game now? Isn't it dying?

It'll be dying when they decide to take the servers down, which they do not plan to do as of this moment.

>It'll be dying when they decide to take the servers down

If the servers go down it'll be dead.
Game is officially dying when devs announce no new plans for expansions and the crew is minimized to a skeleton-shift.

I wouldn't join.

The game gets more frequent updates than games which are "alive." But regardless of whichever state you wish to label the game in, it's here to stay for the foreseeable future.

If you've never played, it could be worth it.

Discovering all the zones, and their respective scores is pretty magical. Getting to rank 10 is a fun ride, and doesn't take all that long. Just don't set your sights on being top on your server.

Ultimately you have to make the call.
>>
>>376792830
>moving the goalposts

Game is not worth playing.
To anyone interested: look at their updates. It's changing 1 zone every month with spoon-fed balance changes and gear reskins to keep the addicts happy. Minimal upkeep is the reason it's still around, it prints money for SE; content isn't what's keeping it alive.
>>
>>376793060
>Updates are only Ambuscade
Well that's factually incorrect.
>>
>>376793060
>Minimal upkeep to keep the addicts happy.

when they are finished with, or not doing, the the other 10000 hours worth of content, yeah. not really a bad thing. more than some other stuff like GW1 and AO get.

i agree the game is hard to recommend to newcomers though

Doing some quick glancing, Danger and Corsair look pretty cool skill-wise. If I just made a goal to get one of those, how feasible would that be in this trial?
>>
>>376795109
Not a completely unrealistic goal, assuming the free trial has access to expansion areas.
>>
>>376795109
>>376795237
>4) Area restrictions - Free trial players will only be able to access areas included in the initial FINAL FANTASY® XI release (not including any expansion areas).

Nevermind. You're boned.
>>
>>376795109
you'll only have access to the basic jobs in the free trial. Warrior, Theif, Monk, Black Mage, White mage, Red Mage.

However if you happen to buy it (it goes on sale on the 16th for $10), then you'll have access to every expansion so you can very very easily get Dancer & Corsair, just takes time to get used to the game and map things out.

>>376794959

sweet, also is there gonna be a resinjima event? i missed out and everyone was talking about spamming quetz/etc for "free" rov gear.

>>376795109

dnc and cor are both stylish as fuck, and good jobs too. they are a slight pain in the arse to get for a total newcomer on a fresh account. i cleared through tons of mission campaigns and unlocked them in my 30 day trial, but i'm a returning player that knew exactly what to do already.

dnc needs a little WotG progression. its not hard but its confusing to get around the zones and get the right cutscenes. theres a lot of blocked entrances and one-way paths and special maws to get around WotG maps.

COR is similar, but ToAU expansion progression instead. again, its only hard in the sense of finding your way around.

in both cases you'll just need to follow a wiki guide closely and git gud at navigating annoying fucking maps.
>>
>>376795562
>>376795109

oh shit sorry you meant the free trial with restrictions, i thought you meant after buying the game.

>>376795528

its more like a traditional crpg where you have an entire spellbook at you hands. you still have some CDs similar to ARR with quickcast, extra potency on next spell, etc.
>>
>>376795528
in XI it's more that you're the damage ender. You'll be throwing out big magic spells that do "Magic Burst" damage after your party members/trusts do a combo attack called a "skillchain". Basically you are all about the big numbers as a black mage.
>>
>>376795528
Nothing like XIV BLM. Multiple spell tiers for most elements. Magic Bursting your spells off of skill chains created by melee/SCH.

No domain invasion event this month.

That actually sounds pretty cool, but kind of shitty for an autismal solo player like me.
2 more questions since I'm lurking the ff wiki while waiting on this thing to download, what's the best starting job for said autismal loner, and does race choice affect stats any more than xiv?

I've heard there were issues trying to boot it on Steam. If you're still there, or for anyone else that has had this problem, I think you could start the PlayOnline client directly from the .exe in the FFXI install folder, so just make a shortcut to that and use it.
>>
>>376796084
For your starting job, just do what looks the most enjoyable. You aren't going to have a whole lot of trouble leveling regardless of what you pick, just find the new players guide on Reddit or BG-wiki and check it out a bit so you aren't totally lost. There are some things they've added to the beginning of the game to help new player's out and they're better detailed in those.

Either way you're bound to level 5 of the 6 starting jobs to at least 49 if you plan on having any extended time with the game. Just avoid MNK because it's in a bad spot and isn't really useful as a sub job either.
>>
>>376796084
you can try any job you want, try them all out. And yes race does affect stats but you should only care about it if you're into min/maxing. Otherwise play what you want.
>>

>>376796084
Race stats/growths don't matter anymore due to the number-bloat that occurs when you get item level gear. I'd say that the best starting Job would be Warrior since it's solid in survivability and damage plus it's a great subjob option later. You can solo very easily with summonable Trusts, and this month is the perfect time to get them with the event going on that hands out a bunch of the best ones in the game.

Is BLU still really strong, by the way? Last I played, they were king of the low-man content. But I remember them getting shafted with the early Omen equipment just before I took a break.
COR was always a really fun job. I just wished XIV, or any MMO for that matter, could implement support jobs like XI did. I was semi-attempting to make the zebra gun before my break, but the heavy metal plates were such a grind.
>>
>>376800971
Yes, they're the best healers in the game now.
>>
>>376800971
BLU is still very strong for solo, low-man, and it can pull its weight in Omen. Some other DD jobs pick up on, and in some cases exceed it in high buff situations. Love it personally, but I'm pocketing a couple other jobs for content where its just more convenient to not have melee.
>>
>>376801095
Brutal. I bet those Yagrush owners are pretty salty. I suppose it makes the chicken leg easier to eat with the salt, though.
is this true? I know they have some great cure as well as erase spells, but that would be pretty crazy. Is this Draylo?
>>376801105
Yeah, that makes sense. Seemed like people were trying to push the melee-burn strats for the HELM Reisenjima bosses, but needed a ton of gear to be feasible. It was still much easier/safer with the mage-burn strategies, albeit slower(?)
>>
>>376801789
>albeit slower(?)
That's my understanding, but it cuts a lot of the bullshit on some NMs.

No and no. JSE armors were released for this months update. BLU was lumped in with WHM and SCH gear which have lots of fastcast and cure potency.

As someone that loved FFXI dearly, I don't know that what's left of it is much better than XIV. No by such wide margin anymore at least.

So many of the things I hated from XIV have found their way back into XI anyway.
