O, didn't even notice that. Well, just quoting so I'll leave it at that

Also, the new trailer better be fucking epic. Bahamut fighting Odin or something.

lol I finally got what this was about after checking out the other threads and realizing. Although seeing as I've reported a number of these to no avail, we'll wait and see.

[Gulkeeva]

Fuck you, Gulk. Your ninja loved leveling with me on those dhamels. I forget what class I was at that point, though... was it bard? Shit.

Oh I did enjoy killing those elva.. er dhalmels. That didn't change the fact it took forever to lvl a drg...!

Have you played Final Fantasy 1 recently? That game is pretty horrible and I don't know why people liked it. There's zero character plot development, the magic system is ridiculous, the enemy targeting system ("ineffective") is childishly stupid, and the game is heavily grind-focused. I mean, while we're applying today's standards to games of past decades.

I'm reasonably sure that nearly all of the supposed problems you associate with XI don't apply to that game as it is today, so are you really doing anything other than hindsight criticism of a ten-year-old game? Just to clarify.

...I don't like FF1 either. And no, I'm not going to go back to play XI current because it still has a slow as shit battle system, cumbersome controls and tiresome exploration. Tell me how XI is now good? Have battle mechanics changed?

I'm not saying FFXI is bad because it's old, I'm saying it because it's bad. Difference.

No one's saying you should go back to XI, just as no one is saying you should fire up a copy of Doom 2 to see what makes a great FPS.

Just because things have improved now, that doesn't mean that everything old has always been garbage.

[Takiwaki]

It has nothing to do with it being bad imo, we played 11 and enjoyed it, back then it was not considered bad at all, but then we also evolved as gamers. To say its bad is silly, we have just outgrown it, the game hasn't changed, we have.

Edit: then we came to the realization that it was indeed a horrible game..

Firstly, please tell where I said or even implied that old games are shit because they're old. Stop pushing your junk on me man, it's gay.

Secondly, FFXI has always been shit even during its prime. I don't even have to go into detail because unless you're fucking delusional (which I know some people on this board are), you know FFXI is shit. You've always known.

[Draylo]

I love how this guy loves to make his OPINIONS seem like they are facts. FFXI was far from shit, sorry your opinion is so shitty.

[miokomioko]

is shit ≠ was shit

[Draylo]

is shit ≠ was shit

If you are responding to me, he just said in his last post:

Obviously has some deep hatred for a video game.

FFXI Victim #1.

The opposite actually. I love FFXI. Shit game though.

I always say you can love a bad game, it just helps if you know its bad and love it anyway for something rather than not know why it sucks.

I feel like this needs to be repeated.
