Hi! I started back in 2006 and have played off and on over the years. I've had periods of time where I unsubbed and didn't play at all, and other times where it was my only game! I got back in to playing in 2020 during the pandemic lockdowns and I'm still logging in daily even now! No other game has captured me quite like FFXI.
i started playing Final Fantasy with FFII on SNES. when they came out with III, i was a bit reluctant because of the obvious 2nd lie, but the game was so good, i played it more than II. after that, i couldn't take anymore lying, and completely disconnected from the series. now, theyre on XI‽ is Final Fantasy XI thee actual final fantasy, or are they still peddling their lies??
Bahahaa! Yes, the heroes have averted so many apocalyptic and reality-destroying situations that "final" is definitely misleading! Of course, if the heroes never set out on their journeys, then maybe the world doesn't get saved...
Anyway FFXI is the first MMORPG Final Fantasy (FFXIV being the more recent one) and it's jam-packed with many different potential "final" fantasies! It's kept me busy since 2006!
