Neat, anyone play this game? I'm thinking about trying it out when I get bored with XI - if my pc can handle it, hopefully.
when I get bored with XI
:Sad-xi:
I tried it but I wasn't allowed to use party chat
You can't even make a party. Literally unplayable if you aren't playing with someone who's paying.
good to know actually, i tried this on xbox hoping to play with friends who don't have PCs and it wouldn't even let me make an account because i apparently played a trial on PS4 and PC
Oh, that sounds like a deal breaker
I'm sure it's in place to discourage people from making trial accounts for advertising bots and scammers, but it's not a fun way to play an mmo
It's the first two expansions now, they expanded it to include Stormblood as well a while ago
i tried to play when it launched on xbox but i apparently already had trial accounts on PC and PSN so it wouldn't let me create a new console account or play on my old accounts without paying for whatever reason.
I like it. IMO every expac is better than the last and the worst part is the initial runup to get to Heavensward's last couple trials - but if you say you like FFXI it'll feel like you're moving at lightning speed, lol.
story made me cry a lot thats a good endorsement
Yes give me a reason to come back to it
I have been playing it for the past two months. Now I am like 10% through Stormblood.
Overall it's fun. I had never played an MMO so mostly wanted to check that off my bucket list. I got one month from game pass, then bought the starter edition on PC which gave me one month more. I think I will buy one month to finish Stormblood but won't probably play past that.
There are these high level optional boss fights that are difficult versions of the boss fights you find in the story. You can't really wing these fights and the whole party of eight people needs to be coordinated and putting in serious effort. These are very hard to pull off with random parties. Since I don't know people who play this game, I have to rely on random parties which means I won't be able to do all of them. This is the only thing about the game I didn't really like because it's really fun when you are able to pull them off. But they are optional so it's not a big deal.
Shadowbringers is the best expansion though, so you should totally finish that. And Endwalker really ties everything together so you should finish that too :)
