You played FFXIV before it was popular right?

>gloating about playing shit games

Back then it was probably one of the worst MMOs ever made. Don't even try to gloat about playing that garbage.

Nope. Actually just started playing 2 nights ago.

Seems p cool. Best/most adventurous feel for an MMO I've played in a long ass time. God tier music too and it looks quite nice.

I might sub once my trial's over.

>actual 1.0 elitists

Why do you people exist?

>>381885623
"Before" falsely implies that it's either popular now, or will ever be popular in the future. Both are false.

paid for a month's sub without doing any research because i just wanted to try an ff mmo but playonline viewer was too much of a shart to bother with ffxi. the base game was cheaper than the sub, but the overall cost was still like $25 to basically eat shit

did they give anything to the retards the bought in before the relaunch?

Didn't 2.0 nerf Miqo'te asses?

I watched a series called "The fall and rise of FFXIV" and it was kind of entertaining. That first release of the game really was an absolute mess, wasn't it? That crafting system was fucking insanely tedious.

Also, I don't know why, but deaths of MMOs are so appealing to me

The game had literal copy pasted areas all over. I honestly feel like shame is what motivated them to do a better job with 2.0.

I unironically enjoyed 1.0 more

>better animations
>ff11 stylized world
>less details so you would use your imagination more
>1 more accessory slot with visible differences, plump cat butts


realm reborn is consolized garbage and you know it

yeah I played FFXI-2.
It really showed how badly FFXI aged.

It feels like they had their priorities utterly wrong and they went for some kind of incredibly open ended style game in every regard, which just doesn't work when you half ass everything.

Not to mention the fact that every. single. interaction. is a request to the server. Like, what the FUCK.
