Anyone else miss this dudes content, and go on random binges through old videos?
Trials are still going in 2020. I sort of wish they would combine the subs for ff14 and ff11, so people can play either or.
Honestly as a XIV player, if they did this, it would actually get me to try XI.
SE is only a smol indie company they need the money
I just tried using my trial key and it says it's already been registered. I guess they ran out again...
i would get back into 14 if they included 11 with it lol
I would pay the $30 for thegame if my ff14 sub came with a character slot in ff12. I only tried the ff14 trial because i heard about the mobile port for xi and it got me curious... Aaaa.
This game helped me quit smoking. Spent so much time playing, I just stopped smoking cold turkey 😂 Lots of fun memories.
Good for you.
Helped a lot of people quite eating, quit working, quit sleeping too.
@@Chrisfragger1 yeah...
This game drove me to smoke
That's fantastic! I'm very happy for you. Though, while it was helping you quit smoking it was over here beating me unconscious. Fun memories. =)
I remember working 60+ hours a week and squeezed in roughly 3-5 hours per night to play this, and alllllllllll my days off... I even gave up alcohol to stop falling asleep in merit parties that go alllll night. So yeah, returning player as of today. Great vid, very informative for me. Kudos!
Hope you are still playing! I'm beginning right now.
@@zoldlen883 haha same, I started a month ago
Nice! I actually gave up smoking thanks to XI about 18 years ago. Still smoke free.
Lol damn, you even quit alcohol !! Thats great bro !
God... I miss this game. I have yet to play anything that felt close. The difficulty was demanding, but so rewarding. Great video.
Like the game a lot too. But it was not difficult just tedious
Agree with you 100%!
nasomi ffxi private server. Free and more populated than some real servers. I enjoy my time there.
@@greedostick yep seen it I love how there are no TRUST npcs and that makes partying less rare.
@@CortashGaming Trust NPCs are more or less useful for leveling and doing some missions by yourself. If you're doing end-game content, trusts will be of no use. You need to party.
I love that no matter where this video goes. I remember the song, I remember what was going on in my life when I was playing. I love you ffxi
Even though I don't play anymore, I never not think of the game. My heart is still in Vana'diel. Always love this game!
I remember my linkshell was such a close knit for a group of 25 they really helped me fight my eight year battle with bulimia. We were like a family and they really cared. They were an outlet for me as I was for them. This game will always and forever be apart of my life. The sense of community on here was unlike anything I’ve experienced till this day.
this video makes me wish i had the time to get back into this game. they fixed a lot of problems i had with it back in the 2000s. it was really a beautiful world to play through
Definitely
Your videos make me happy. Listening to you is like listening to an old friend talk about something I hold dear to my heart. :)
For a little perspective on leveling speed, for those who are worried about the time investment... I made a new character a few weeks ago, leveled RDM to lv 25, was able to solo all the subjob items with my Trusts (which you can start acquiring at level 5), and it all took me 2 nights. Then, I bought an exp boost ring with conquest points from the gate guard, and took my BLM from level 1-30 in about 2 hours by running from Windurst to Jeuno, just fighting mobs along the way and leveling as I went. Once I hit 12, I went to Tahrongi.... reached 18 by the time I got to Meriphitaud.... then hit 25 by the time I got to Sauromugue Champaign.... then level 30 by the time I hit Jeuno. I just released/re-summoned my Trusts every 2-3 levels so they kept up with me. All the while, you are acquiring Sparks from Records of Eminence, which allows you to buy gear really cheap as you go. So if you have a plan, you can buy a few sets of gear ahead of time and upgrade as you level, then sell the old stuff when you don't need it anymore. It's probably the easiest/quickest leveling system of any MMO I've played, from lv 1-50. After that it slows down a bit because you still have to do the limit break quests, but even those are easy with Trusts.
This game was the best job i ever had
You worked on the game?
@@Joso997 wow you're slow
@@Ginger_demi_god don’t be mean
@@wmyers4769 ok sorry man
@@Ginger_demi_god all good! Just staying nice and posi 👏🏻
I'm so glad I got to experience this game when I had absolutely no responsibilities and could play 12 to 20 hrs each day lol. I loved this game I hope to have a similar experience sometime!
Cannot thank you guys enough for making this video. I've recently returned after a stint in 2015, I have a few 99s and was collecting chapters before quitting again. I especially needed to hear the tip about going to Ambuscade to get gear, tyvm.
Honestly, these videos are so on point, informative and helpful. It's a shame the game has such a little following this guy deserves more subs than he has!
oh, my friend and i are starting the free trial of this, thanks for the vid! :)
Thank you for this! It is REALLY helpful!
really great video. Love what your doing on this channel and it has helped me alot. I just resub'ed 4 days ago after a 6 year hiatus!
PS: I wanted to let you know the timestamp links in the Desc dont have the t=## in the url!
Keep up the great work!
P.S. followed your Twitch keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Really glad you're back and enjoying it. How's the t=## work???
thanks!
@@Huntin4GamesChannel ima sub but I have a question have you heard of nasomi?
Been back for a month and loving every second. Gearing up summoner takes forever.
haha ya >< SMN is a fantastic job, but its flexibility means there's a lot of different directions gear can go. I struggle to focus and really work on one area
I started summoner too. Its great. Getting the avatars is a lot more convenient now too.
I love how you start your videos.
Thanks for the vid.
Miss 11 so much!
Couldn't agree more with you guys. It is nostalgic to think about running through Rolanberry fields for 20 minutes etc. But we all got older and I really appreciate these new home points to warp around.
I think I played ffxi from 2002-2008, started 2019 by repurchasing the game and joined a few friends i'd met sense my break. oddly we all played around the same time, same server (Asura) and never ran into each other.. getting caught up was really fast... but there's still a lot of new to keep my interest invested. it's been a very pleasurable experience. sadly I don't see my old LS running around.. (Forgotten Heroes) but I keep my eyes open still.
Thanks for the video, was a lot of help to have directions for things to do deeper searches for.
PS I cannot believe I used to play this on the KB without a controller.. the key binds are so ....all over the place.
I miss this game gonna have to come back after I get my new computer set up. Loved this game and nothing has ever come close to replacing it. Thanks you for this great video!
Great guide. I’ve just recently activated the game again. I hadn’t played since 2012 when aby was the current content. I got a bunch of sparks just from checking out the ROE. Now I’m trying to go through all my old inventory and decide what I need to keep and what needs to go.
Love your vids man, You're awesome!
Thanks! I am starting to play FF XI for the first time :D very helpful
Great video, very helpful, thanks!
This video was so helpful thank you for making it
love the videos dude, keep up the good work.... great game
Great guide on how to start again. Its been years but started to get back into it
When should I start the missions for progressing through the expansions?
I'm glad I researched a few things before going into the game this year. I didn't use your guide specifically, but I did use the FFXIclopedia. I learned about the amazingly OP key item that reduces teleport costs (even for tabs) by 80% and gives an extra trust summon slot. It also made soloing the level 58 undead NM boss on the way to get the Canal access managable at level 52 RDM. (You need canal access if you don't have people to help you get past the three mage gate after all.)
One of the people I started playing along with at times wanted to play the game, and I was like, "Why not," since I literally had nothing more to do in FFXIV until 4.56. I have a feeling they won't be able to survive though even with all the help / guidance I gave them. One thing I still am a bit peeved at is the incredibly low drop rate for Carbuncle's Ruby. I was farming for days in Valkurm Dunes on Thread Leeches because it's known to drop on them, but it hadn't dropped, and I managed to level RDM from 30 to 50 on Conflict RoE alone because of it. I then got THF to 15 and then NIN to 30 before starting to farm it on NIN, which I then got to 35 before I decided to do other quests to come back to SMN farming later. I redeemed my Destrier Beret as well, so that will probably help in the SMN Solo trials.
I remember coming across the land in the thumbnail and it's stuck in my mind, it looked so magical like everything in 11 and wondering what the hell that white building was how it stuck there like a dream but could never find it again.
amazing guide, now I want to get back to the game again
Very good guide, thanks very much. Haven't played since September 2012, so much has changed...
Very different for sure! And any time!
Wow this is required watching! Thanks for putting this together! After spending 8 years afk, its the same beautiful Vanadiel but a brand new game. You should take sections of this and expand a bit in their own videos
I played from around 2004~2009ish. And I played a month or two of the abyssea expansions in 2011. The game seems to have improved significantly in terms of quality of life for everything. I remember being extremely well geared for thf and nin at 75, but having enormous amounts of gear swapping macros to optimize everything. Windower scripts to swap out entire gear sets, I had almost every key on my keyboard bound to some useful function in the game. Its crazy how complicated things were, yet how fondly i remember them.
I wish I saw this video when I came back to play a week ago. It is so overwhelming how much content there is.
18:00 - you were talking about inventory space and I do love how much more space you get to start out. I am already getting close to capacity because I'm trying to save a lot of what I pick up. Is there a good list somewhere of things you can either toss/vendor/AH? I keep things like bat wings because I know that I can turn them in to increase Sandy fame, and all my crystals can be stored by the moogle which is AWESOME, though I'm not sure what crystals are used for any more if you don't really craft.
I returned to ff14 after like 3 years was still a fun experience the story is what keeps me going back. Ff11 and me have always had a rocky history as I came in when the grind was insane hard and left due to money issues came back and felt like I had no idea what to do came back 2 years later and started back up and left again after failing to find people to play with it's been about 2 years sense then and I intend to come back again but this time after watching the video to actually make a dent with the character I was working on
I’m in this video! Haha. Love the content, I watched a lot before deciding to come back
hahah yus! glad you're back, hope you're enjoying it ^^
So ready to play great vid
I played consistently from 2004 to 2009, then briefly again in 2011. Excited to say, I've reactivated my account in December of 2019, mostly thanks to your videos. Thanks for the encouragement and all you do.
I love this game been playing since 2004
Great job as always. Some questions. How many slots are the mog wardrobes? Also is it two to three bucks for 3 and 4 or each wardrobe costs that?
Thanks for this video. I'm seriously considering returning after like a decade or more away. Are some zones still level capped, or will I be able to power through them if I sufficiently over-level beforehand?
Omg I put soooooooo many hours into this games back in the day! I was just sitting here looking at videos trying to decide to try 14 or come back to 11 with my roommate and I think this video just convinced me to come back to 11 since they have added soooo much stuff and time saving stuff. The biggie is not needing a human party anymore so me and my friend can just get on and have fun getting stuff done by yourself instead of looking for a party to grind out exp or do a mission. Thanks for taking the time to make this video maybe we will see you in game one day :)
Ya! Being able to just duo or trio whatever you feel like working on is an amazing change ^^ thanks for checking it out!
I kind of want to get back into this and this helps, I stopped playing back in 2013 because it was consuming my life. A lot of what I loved seem to have gone away but the quality of life seems to make up for it. Still on the fence but this helps
I remember it taking over a year to get to 75.. and that was playing for hours at a time a day every day.
I would love to get into this game again. I've always been off and on about this one XD. Hard to find a player base who still plays.
Really enjoy your content. Cheers from lakshmi
If that offer for a World pass is still up for grabs I'd love to join your guys' LS! I'm on Leviathan and don't have anyone to play with so moving over to Odin wouldn't bother me at all. I signed back in last week from a 7 year hiatus and it's crazy to see how fast everything is now!
After watching this video it made me want to play again. Great video and hope to see you online Hayden. Are there aby active linkshells still out there? I would love to join them.
the area of effect thing does work on macros if you have or in your macros
I love this game. Still playing since 2004
One thing that is missed for new players. For the sub job quest there is a records of eminence that give you access to sub job with out getting the items.
Dude really?!?! No way! Had no idea haha
It is at the beginning of Rapsodhies of Vanadiel
Did you start from 1 for any reason? Did you play before? I played this for years and was pretty accomplished but, when I tried a couple of years ago to play it was very overwhelming at 99 and tons of gear. I feel like starting from 1 allows me to get back into it slowly
Retail ffxi will always hold an extremely special place in my heart.. i dedicated many years to it, but the new Horizon server is all that I'm going to play now. It's just so much more simple, vanilla.
I was a beta tester on the PS2 when it was brand new... I had no idea this was still out and running! I haven't played this in 13-14 years or more... wow.
I was at the right age, at the right point in my life, at the right time when I started playing XI. I have so much nostalgic fondness for this game. So many friendships, memories and experiences that I really miss whenever I think about XI. I left the game a long time ago, before ToAU and in some ways, I am glad I stopped playing before I had a chance to dislike the changes. I've been playing XIV off and on since the release of 2.0 and its the first MMO in years that I've felt like fills some of the void that XI left when I quit.
I learned a lot !!! Thank you
no problem! glad it was helpful
This was helpful. Last played in 2008 ish.
For the inventory expansion: There is also a Goblin Stew 880 item from various campaigns that help you skip the items required.
Great point! Totally forgot about it
This was my First MMO. It was Phenomenal!!!
Lucky you. Mine was World of Borecraft.
information overload!! but i'm only lv30ish atm so yeah.. i'm so happy to be back after some 15 years!! i will definitely reference back here for gearing up at 99
Remora server, was it? 75 SMN raiding in SKY and the literal journey getting all the avatars and getting there was still to this day the greatest gaming experience of my life.
I'm coming back to pickup where i left off!
I am glad TH-cam suggested this video. I returned on a whim and see a bunch of stuff I am doing is a waste of time because Square adapted the game around a lack of crafters. I'm on Sylph and can't tell what the economy is or what's the value of gil.
Nice dude!! I miss catching your streams 😟 as ya know it’s morning for me so I’m off to work when you jump on haha, your vids keep me up to date though :) hope to see you online soon, maybe red dead 2 online when it drops?
hopefully can add in some extra streams soon! haha ya really hopeful for some red dead 2, hope to see ya soon dude!
@@Huntin4GamesChannel what’s a good server now a days played since release been away for few years have to start over
Awesome man, thank you for making this! Shame your not on my Server.
"Reach out to SE to find PlayOnline ID"
Can definitely confirm, they're really diligent about it too and will help you find even if you only remember very few things
Can confirm. Last time i played FFXI was back in 2009. That was when i quit playing. However, i came back last year. I forgot everything. The only thing i remembered was my character name. When i called, they asked me some basic questions to prove who i say i am..... like street address used and stuff like that. The one question i couldn't remember was the email address. Between 2002 till 2009 (and especially present day) I had so many email addresses, that i dont know which one was used for the account. And most of the emails i forgot. So he allowed me to just spout email addresses that i could remember until i got the right one. However, i never did lol. I came close though and the guy on the other end knew i was legit based on the fact i gave email addresses that were similiar to the one used to the account and other previous answers i gave to other questions. So he ended up just hinting out what the email was without actually saying it lol. He was awesome.
i go play on line said not secure
I had the opposite experience. I provided them email address (same email its always been) and Square Enix account info and they wouldn't help me out at all. It was an ordeal, but about on par with every experience I had with PlayOnline customer service.
@@justin2166 Did you ever get your account back though? if not, i would have called again and seen if i could get another customer service rep to help you. I should have mentioned i never really "called" them. I used their online chat service.
@@EricWZ No sadly. I did the live chat option. My phone number has changed once back in 2004, so it wasn't the same. They suggested they could help me if I provided the CD-Keys on the box I purchased 16 years ago. When I said I didn't still have those they hung up on me. Maybe I should post the screenshots, but it was really awful.
Got into FFXIV during lockdown,
Haven't touched FFXI since Xbox 360, just bought it on PC. Farewell XIV, we going back to the beginning baby
Maybe its because the game is older now and people dont have much of a choice in who they party with, or maybe the enemies are weaker now, but its nice to hear that people are more accepting to different class combinations. I remember back in the day I had an unusual class combo and id sit in my MH LFG for practically the whole day
Ya there was much less acceptance with unusual class combos unless you made your own parties back in the day
Great video and perfect timing! Just came back from last playing in 2007/8... definitely been enjoying the game like old times a lot of new stuff is a little overwhelming but welcomed, i was on ifrit so i started on Odin i will reach out to you when i can for a linkshell? Definitely missing the community aspect 😢
Ya reach out! Glad to hear you’re back and enjoying it ^^
Subjob can also be unlocked by finishing Rhapsodies of Vanadiel Mission 1-4 (which is really easy to do)
An hour long??? Hell yeah. Can't wait to be home and on wifi to watch it
Hahah took us a while to get through this stuff, and it’s still only bare bones
I just recently came back to this game on my old stomping grounds of Asura, after a few year hiatus and its still just as amazing as it used to be. Just need to figure out which job to focus on (pet jobs ftw!) and gear it and get some job points on it so I can go into more high end content again. Also need a good returner ls still. Still even solo for the moment its a hoot
I'm debating getting it again too! Is your server pretty full or does it feel empty?
@@NolanB91 Server is fairly full a lot of the time. I know a week or so ago I looked and there were over 3k ppl online
@@MicaDoesStuff oh dang!! Will definitely look into it and get on Asura then :)
Hey, played at launch, for about 6 years. Im interested in coming back for a bit just as a change of pace from my current games. Where could I go to find some active communities to get in touch with? Best thing about this game was always the people sharing your hardships lol
I haven't played since about 2006. Really looking forward to restarting. Unfortunately I must have messed up something when I tried to set up playonline.
Me and two other of my friends are returning this week!
hey nice video could you tell me how you change the size of the chat window please and thank you
This might be a 2 year old video but I quit ffxi in 05 and I just started playing WingsXI and I'm having the best time I've had in a long time.
Haven't played since January this year, watching your videos makes me want to hop back on. Your ls need a brd? Would love to help you out with your content!
Haha were mostly social, but everyone’s welcome! Especially a spoony bard
Every video... makes it harder to stay away! Thanks for another video.
Can you imagine if all the people that miss this game, like myself, started playing again?
Playing ffxiv atm planning on returning once I get the content done loved ffxi but wasting time just for a chance to get a group killed the fun. Trusts will be a godsend in this regard though will be focusing on grouping with others in the meantime.
and also as long as its much imporoved as you guys say im so down...like teleporting back and forth between crystals and the increase in movement speed is a huge improvement as well as faster leveling. So it makes it less daunting for new players im even more down. I mean with the fact that I can't play as much as I used to this is great news...I can progress faster. So we will see how easy it is to get back into. Im excited. Im def joining the highest population server.
Cool I'll tryout Black mage mixed with Red Mage.
Loved my time in XI. It’s a great game.
definitely :)
So contemplating a return to this because I have felt all other MMO’s to date have not held up. I would be starting from 0 though, no longer have access to old character. One thing I remember though was being able to generate enough “gil” to be able to get gear and get around. Is it still ridiculously hard? That’s what it holding me back. Back in the day we had a bunch of friends but, this will probably be a very solo endeavor.
I just started my free trial yesterday, so its definitely possible now.
Have you kept at it?
You should make a 5+ hour video tutorial of the game. I would watch every minute.
I havent played this game got around 6-8 years would i still have my character or do they erase it after a long time?
I’m planning to play FFXI again in about a month and I was wondering which server is the one with the most players now?
have you guys run in to run/walk toggle issues ? cuz im using a pc controller and i cant switch from run and my character will stay on walk unless i turn of my pc controller on config
I gotta quick question, and hopefully someone has an answer for this. I only have one character but I want to purchase mog wardrobe 3&4 , BUT whenever I go to add the option it’s literally not clickable.
It says that I need “an active character….” of some sort. Do I need to purchase another character in order to even purchase mog wardrobe 3&4 or does it have something to do with my subscription or what??
Please help…
im new player brought into 2 years ago by friend fantastic game
so glad to hear it :D it's great to see old players return, but I'm happy to see new faces joining as well
So, basically if someone is starting at Level 1, they will want to start on their Objectives List. Is that correct? I'm trying to figure out how to maximize my time because i spent 3-4 hours running around doing like 2 missions and didn't feel like I accomplished much. I DID get to buy a bronze dagger and a cloak and that was about it. It felt like one Fed Ex quest after another running all over the city trying to find the zones and the people you needed to talk to.
wow... i remember getting a party together to do the craigs.... dam i miss this. It's not the same anymore. nothing is.
Added note on the world pass section of this. You actually do not need world passes anymore. You choose your world when you make your character. The only benefit of a gold world pass is the fun little items you can get over time, which is still nice.
Great to know! Thanks so much
Hey HFG, what server are you on? I'd like to join and play with you guys as I think my classic level 75 Puppetmaster from back in the day is unable to be recovered. X.x; Lol
i used to play a lot that game... I had a max lvl WHM/BLM. I've been seriously thinking about playing it again.
You can max out a job to lv 99 in a couple weeks now, from scratch (that is, from a brand new character). Getting started is a lot easier now than it used to be. Gearing up adequately is easy (from RoE), and once you get some Trusts you have no need to wait for parties. It's lost some of the terror/charm it had initially, but it's a much more adult-friendly game for people who have jobs, homes, families, etc. Since most of us who played this game in our early 20's as bachelors are now late 30's to early 40's with responsibilities outside FFXI :)
