Vals' adventures in Vana'diel
So. I've played every Final Fantasy game except XI. I've always been curious about it but heard it's not as user friendly as modern MMOs.
You lose exp when you die, you can't do stuff solo, etc. An XIV FC member recently told me they kind of made it more user friendly by adding trusts (npcs in game that you summon to party with and do stuff with in game) , the xp death penalty isn't as nasty etc.
Back on May 10 the game and it's expansions was on sale for $10 (this happens quite frequently through out the year) and I had been close to purchasing it in the past but this time I took the plunge.
I have to say the hardest part of FFXI so far was installing and setting up the damn game lol You have to have a PlayOnline account (anyone remember PlayOnline from the FFIX strategy guide days? LOL) It took me about an hour to install and set everything up. You literally need a guide to set the game up and get it going.....I had to use one.
Game straight up crashed my whole computer the first time I launched it (off to a great start eh?) but I finally got in and got going.
Now XI is a 20 year old game. You literally have to have a wiki pulled up while playing to do anything cause the game does not hold your hand. The quests give you the bare minimum info on where to go, what to do.

Needless to say the music is fantastic. There are still people playing, granted some servers are smaller then others (there's apparently three larger servers that everyone went to. I chose a small server)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The story is slow going but it's starting to pick up and I heard it's great once you get into it (think getting past ARR in XIV lol)
I also wanted to give it a shot since the new alliance raid in Dawntrail is gonna be from FFXI.

So far I'm level 27 WHM. I started in Bastok. Last night I went to San d'Oria and Windurst, the other two starting nations (took about an hour on foot to travel to them both) Picked up the ability to get a support job. Haven't gotten my Chocobo yet even though the quest for that is level 20 (I have not been to Jeuno yet where the quest is)

The boats in game travel in real time (had to wait 6 mins for it to arrive then had a 13 minute boat ride to the other area) While you're on the boat enemies can board the boat and attack (monsters, pirates, etc)

Met Cid, met Gilgamesh.

But I'm enjoying it enough to want to continue past the free 14 days I got for signing up.

Hello! Can I take some of your screenshots and post them on another website? I will credit you, of course! ٩(^◡^)۶
I appreciate you offering to credit me/link back but unfortunately I prefer to not have my stuff be posted elsewhere by someone else since I've been burned in the past by reposters.

With today's patch I was able to buy the Zeromus mount, Lynx of Abyssal Grief, my last Lynx mount needed for the Apocryphal Bahamut mount (or as I love to call it, Bahamut with a car seat)
Since Endwalker had a lot of FFIV nods, this mount uses the look of FFIVs Bahamut

This was my first time doing all Extremes as current content, I was still leveling when Shadowbringers dropped.
I was only lucky with the drops for Zodiark (146 runs), Rubicante (36 runs), and Golbez (16 runs) All the others I had to wait till the mount was available to buy at the vendor.
I should also note that Zodiark was the only one I kept going for after 99 totems, the rest I stopped at once I got 100 totems.
As for my opinions on the fights. Rubicante was my least favorite (never could wrap my brain around 3 of the 5 (?) pipe mechanics)
Favorite, Barbariccia. I healed all 60 (ten extra since I bought the WHM cane) runs of Barbariccia and while it was the most insane, fast paced fight....I still look back on it fondly. I will be hearing "I'll slaughter you all!" in my sleep lol
I loved the music for the Golbez fight, "Voidcast Savior". Hearing the overworld theme for FFIV during the fight hit all my nostalgia buttons. The fight was also alot of fun....even if party finder couldn't get Gales 2 right the majority of the time. Also Golbezs' VA didn't have to go as hard as he did, but I'm glad he did. Loved his voice.
Zeromus was a fitting end to it all. Loved the fight, the FFXIV version of "The Final Battle" from FFIV that plays during the fight is incredible.
I also remember the first time I did the fight, at the end of the fight when "The Red Wings" started playing I was hollering at my computer "My nostalgia!"....as Zeromus used an ability called "Nostalgia" and I promptly busted out laughing
As for my favorite Lynxes? In order from favorite to least favorite: Golbez, Zeromus, Barbariccia, Zodiark, Rubicante, Endsinger, Hydaelyn.

Anyway....it has been an interesting fun ride doing these Extremes in Endwalker. (doing them all in PF too.....lol) I enjoyed seeing the Four Fiends and Golbez from IV again.
And if anyone is curious on time frames, I did take notes on the which patch each EX was released and when the mount was able to be bought from the vendor:

Now to see what awaits us in Dawntrail!

Bozja fell under Garlean rule rather quickly due to the nation being divided after Queen Gunnhildr's death. The nobles had grown increasing distrustful of each other and they were unable to crown a new queen.
