Any old Final Fantasy XI players here?

Archived Post

Well, I shouldn't need to ask, I did see people post that they had played FFXI in other topics, but it made me wonder how many old FFXI players I could find.

I went by the (lame) nickname Babyorphan and played mainly on Asura, moved to Remora with a LS called HiddenPower, then went back to Asura again and switched my name to Decu (* links to a blog I made for Decu) since I wanted be more incognito (used to get run down with /tells - heh). Still got my account, but can't say I am playing anymore even though I pay for the subscription. I log in from time to time to chat a little with old friends, but that's all.

So, anyone else that used to play FFXI, and that I perhaps even knew?

Here's some of the videos I captured back in the good old days of 2004 and beyond, that I uploaded in 2007. If you see yourself in any of them, I know you - hahaha.

Been a long, long time since I played FFXI <^_^> but yeah, I played for about a year on Odin as a mithra named Yumii. (Long story, but she's still a character I make in every game <,<)

<._.> The one, the only, the Samurai/Bard! (Any jokes about strangling cats will result in immediate disembowelment. >.>)

Main: Dragoon
Server: Garuda

Personally I mainly played RDM in my earlier days (soloed alot: Genbu probably being the 'toughest' (read longest) fight), then I started to play RNG for a while (pre-range nerf with KC was just insane good fun). Played some NIN tanking and then I settled on the more loner BST (although I had a open and nice LS that let me play BST at events (since I had somewhat better than your average BST equipment)). Did level my jobs to 75 though in late 2008 - early 2009 for the Maat's cap to go with my Guttler, hehe. I miss FFXI days sometimes, but I can't really find the motivation to play anymore - the mechanics are just too out of date for me I guess. I hope FFXIV will be somewhat the same type of a game, but with a more updated mechanic (I'd like to jump for one, hehe).

Oh man. Played that game when it came out, loved it. Comp screwed up and couldnt reinstall it so had to cancel it. I loved my dragoon/war class was awesome.

I played on Alexander server for about a year and a half (maybe two years, not sure).

My main was Dragoon which was good fun; also quite enjoyed Blue Mage, although I wasn't very good at it.

One day I decided to play X3 Reunion instead and somehow wound up never going back; later realised I had been paying my sub for 6 months without once logging in and cancelled my account.

Kinda miss it on occasion, but with FFXIV on the way I figure I'll just wait and see what that is like (got high hopes for that one ).

Hahaha.. that brought back more memories. I just remembered how it was to really work at not dying in a game again. These days you have easy enough 'checkpoints' and/or minimal penalty inflicted on your character - you don't de-progress (like losing EXP) I kinda want FFXIV to have a similar system.
