After playing XI non stop for 5 years I remember trying 1.0 with my LS and just couldn't stick it out in the end. Anyone else play it much?

I tried it just like you did. I felt the urge to buy the FFXI Collection the other day. I just need to resist the urge haha. :P

Hey

I played XI a year i think after it came out but i put it down after an hour or so. Couldnt get into it :(

Tried XIV aswell but that was same. I think it was still during 1.0 so at that time it was still not playable. Well for me atleast.

So this is why, when I heard about ARR I jumped at the chance to test it and im actually looking forward to!

I played XI for 6-7 years +, and lost count. Ended up leading linkshells and the like, was pretty hardcore in the time. Since then I'm much more casual with my playtime, but when I am on I'm still in the hardcore mindset :P

Also played 1.0 for a bit but I thought that at the time XI was better. After playing a little of 2.0 I'm never going back to XI haha

I'm the same with the mindset. FFXI taught me that. But I'm the same with any other game now. Play time is different but the mindset never goes. There's no way I'd go back to XI. Left just before the level cap raised and I kind of despise sitting at a HNM camp for 3 hours just to see a NQ pop -.-

I like the structured raiding a lot more. You can take the mind set into it but you don't have to take the endless hours.

I ended up levelling things I disliked playing to 99 just for low-man/solo purposes then realised that I hated what I was doing so what was the point haha don't think 14 will have that problem though! Yes!!!
