The magic of Vana’diel just seems to be lost now, as all people are interested in is gaining every single REMA weapons that the game has to offer. To keep FFXI current in today’s gaming culture, Square Enix changed FFXI so much that it barely resembles what it once was – and for that reason, I struggle to play on official servers. Even to this day I will put on random FFXI music that can be found on YouTube and be flooded with nostalgia.įFXIV unfortunately didn’t follow the same style as it’s older sibling, and opted to choose a more tradition MMO path, similar to World of Warcraft. No other game has ever come close to what FFXI was back in the late 2000’s. The community, in-game music, and the levelling style was, and is, just so unique. If you never played during its ‘prime’ you may feel like this is an odd statement to make about a video game, but FFXI was more than just a game for so many people. Final Fantasy XI is one of those games that will always hold a special place in my heart.
