No much unless I can get my friends to play it. Hopefully SE won't make it too hard to convince them.

It's coming to Xbox?

What do you mean? It's an MMO. Your character is server side. You just buy the game on Xbox, login with your already used account and there are your characters.

I don't believe it's possible with the free trial version which is the version I think I have.

Ahh I did not think about that. Strange they would force you to buy the game on a different platform and not allow your trial account to be used.

5 years straight on FFXI. Never again. I played that on 360.

Yes, it appears so.

yes.
The good news is you don't have to wait. The game's been out for well over a decade on pretty much every device under the sun. Hell, you can pick up an old €50 toaster PC and play it there right now if you want.
I mean, more games is always good, but 'being hyped' really is the wrong choice of words here. Anyone who was ever truly hyped by this game has played it already

There are still millions of people playing it on PC and PS5 right now. They're releasing a new expansion this year and a graphics upgrade. The game isn't a dead as you're trying to pretend it is.

That's no way for a Gentleman of Light to behave. Remember, a gentleman doesn't do… a gentleman simply is.

It's not. XI is an old-school MMO through and through, and has no hand-holding whatsoever.
XIV is almost the exact opposite. It's more of a WoW clone that holds your hand every step of the way (for better or worse).
Not saying it's a bad game of course (been playing it for 10+ years), but y'know... keeping your expectations in check is probably a good idea.
That said, if you enjoyed the story in XI, then there's a good chance you'll be able to immerse yourself in XIV's story as well.

After seeing what WoW did to my cousin, I vowed to never touch a MMO, as I recognized that I would be vulnerable to their spell. Ya'll have fun with it, but I am not touching with a 10 foot pole.

I loved playing it for a bit solo. Then it forced me into doing a dungeon with randoms, and they ended up being complete assholes because it was my first team dungeon. It made me uncomfortable, and I thought why would I pay monthly for people to be assholes to me, when I can get that for free in real life lol

It is absolutely nothing like FFXI aside from sharing some of the same races (but under different names). Still a great game though. I stopped playing it about 4 years ago though, I just cant play mmos anymore.

Good news is that all MSQ dungeons are now playable with a party of AI, so you don't need to interact with other players for a sizeable portion of the game. Only time you NEED to group up is for 8-player trial boss fights, which are generally over within 10 minutes.

Really?? Oh man, I might have to jump back in then. I absolutely adored the game outside of that one dungeon. I'm sure most people are pleasant to play it with, it was just such a bad experience with them that it turned me away. Thanks for the update!

like some had already mentioned, XIV is a lot easy going than XI. I played XI for 8 years back in the days and it consumed my life back then. that was a different time and different game/internet culture thou so while the experience was great for me, it simply isn't possible to happen again. XIV is a lot more casual friendly while still providing the hardcore gameplay for those who seeks that. I think you will definitely enjoy it if you go in with a open mindset. just remember that the base story when you first start might not be much to write home about, but things will pick up around the end of the ARR (base game) story and will only get better as you go into Heavensward.
I do understand the hesitation of going into a MMO, be it due to how much there is to do or due to toxic player behavior. but I feel XIV might be the best way to give it a try, since the free trial has no time limit, allows you to play up to the 2nd expansion, and a lot of the early dungeons can be play with a team of NPCs. only the boss fights would require you to party up but the match making usually make those pretty easy. and the community of XIV is generally pretty friendly and chill (not saying there won't be toxic A-holes, but compare to other MMOs, XIV is REALLY friendly) so you usually don't need to worry about those all that much. give the free trial a go and see how you like it.

I never pretended it was dead.
He asked a question why there was no hype, i answered that the game is old already so most people who wanted to play it already did.
Since when are people hyped by 14 year old releases?
Expansions don't matter it doesn't suddenly make the game brand new again.

Exactly my experience. Liked it except for the multiplayer dungeons, and also the stuff between the actual chapters was pretty boring with the endless fetch quests.

Yeah. That was the problem. You could not play solo in FF11 and get ahead.
That is why WoW changed to where you could actually solo zones.

The upside is there was something special farming XP when you had a group who knew their role and played well, I miss that difficulty even though I could not devote the time these days.

not sure if it'll stay that way but that seems like a bad idea to require Game Pass plan on Xbox while it doesn't require PS+ on PS. wonder if it's some issues with MS or something...?
because the original FFXIV 1.0, which no longer exist now, released back in September 2010. it's one of the most interesting come back stories in thr gaming industry, along with No Man's Sky. there are even a few documentaries on it too. one of which is the NoClip 3 parts videos. highly recommend watching if you're interested.
yeah. it was a different time and different culture back then. XI will always have a special place in my heart even thou the XI I love and wish to play no longer exists.

1.0 should not count as the game.
I'm sure A Realm Reborn was basically a whole different game, but I'll watch the documentary.

You can solo most of the required content now with NPCs using the Duty Support System.
