You guys still play? What about all that fuck SE/XI stuff? lol Selk relapsed, and brought me with him. lol So true. But it's still so fun! Also I was able to recover one of my accounts and I'm still hoping I can recover Selk. Here's one of last Wednesday's LS runs! (DF is dead with Selk since he was LS leader so we are using a linkshell from Deathsightt that has FH color!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z4dadVNysM&list=PLXbOcL9x-biuXeRZm4kh1n3g4jqpcf8rB&index=1I'm addicted!

CA told me you got Dash back (I think?). I think you guys should give XIV another try some time, it really is fun. I too have been enjoying the Heavensward expansion so far.

I just came back after a few years off. Someone from selks new ls saw me the first second I walked out of my MH in PJ with my DF ls equipped. Very solo friendly now, which I like. I played XIV for a while and it got stale after you started having to do a bunch of daily leves and shit.

I'm still here! Was awesome to see Rhyno reappear in the shell. I think more people should just show up on FFXI.
Although, lately I haven't really had much time to play myself :-(
Speaking of Deathsightt... Proph and I partied at his house early august :-D

I love you guys -- I've known you longer than some of my RL friends, but the only way I would go back to XI is if it went F2P and I had nothing else to play. My days with that game have long since passed.

Latest XI update has tier III upgrades for RME. Still not going back. If it were free I'd play on occasion too but tired of wasting money on it.

It's PC only now isn't it? And they've completed pretty much all the major story updates? They're slowly winding it down, but, 12+ years on is a pretty good run.

I wholeheartedly agree with that. Not many games can claim that they've stayed relevant for almost 1 1/2 decades; especially one that never really exploded with subscriber numbers on the same level as Everquest or World of Warcraft. XI by no means had a small population, but it had a very niche and specific playerbase.
XI (and by extension, you guys) got me through some rough years when I was a teenager. I haven't played the game in years, but it'll forever have a place with me. I know I'll feel pretty down the day the servers finally go offline.
I know I usually get way too sentimental when talking about it, but it truly means alot to me. That's kinda why I'm always pushing to make threads and reply to random stuff on this forum. I don't want it or you guys to go away, lol
Plus, I played XI with RL friends, some of which I no longer see, and I have fond memories tied to those days, hanging out after school, trying new content, all that jazz. Any time I think of me playing FFXI, I imagine me chilling in my bedroom at my parents house, summer day, window open and a breeze flowing in with the smell of fresh-cut grass. I don't know why, but that's what pops into my head. And I always imagine Kazham/Yuhtunga for some reason. That feeling/smell always pops Kaz into my head.
Maybe it's because I'm an adult now, but stuff doesn't grasp me like that anymore. I've played XIV for almost 3 years now... but, I dont have any strong emotions towards it. It's a fun game, and leagues ahead of XI in some regards, but I by no means appreciate it more.
TL;DR Xarious is an emotional sap

I play XIV with a few friends from work and I learned that they played XI back in the day on a different server. Every time we bring it up, we argue about which zones had the best music. My friend is a fan of Ronfaure (typical Elvaan...) while Gustaberg is still one of my instant nostalgia bombs (and of course Zi'Tah is the best).

Mhaura and Selbina hit me hard too. XI really has some of the best music of any video game I've ever played.

So many memories of running around Bastok with Mal. I think I was the only Mithra from Bastok on the server lol.
Kazham and Selbina were probably my favorite zone music. Sea had the most peaceful music.
I doubt a game will ever impact any of us even close to FFXI.
EDIT: I think Selk should setup a free private server for only DF to play on.

Every taru knows Heaven's Tower has the best music. This song hits me with a nostalgia brick so hard, tears come to my eyes. I miss you guys so much. I've played WoW, Aion, Rift, SWTOR, Scarlet Blade (for like.. two days. not too proud), GW2, Blade & Soul, probably others that I'm forgetting. All of it pales in comparison to the times I've enjoyed playing FFxi with the lot of you. If so much time hadn't passed, or if the game was subscription-less, I'd jump back on in a heartbeat. RL has been kinda tough on me the past few years, but I'm on the road to getting my act together. Maybe one day, we'll all meet again in some digital realm, and make even more memories.
