I'm a new player to ffxi, played as a kid for like 3 months, but that's nothing, but I gotta say, this game feels so much better than moving through the checklist in ffxiv, and it's awesome to see so many people running around, can't wait for this weekend so I can properly grind in a party.
XIV is great, but it's a very copy paste sort of experience. All the dungeons are the same exact pull pattern pretty much as an example. I still enjoy playing XIV, but XI just has such a unique charm to it. I mainly play XIV for the pvp and to decorate houses lol
@@BrixyXI I love ffxiv too, but ffxi just gives me a better sense of adventure and I also prefer the slower based combat, I like that I can take it in rather than looking at a bunch of flashy effects and focusing mainly on orange floor patterns, hotbar and ability pops on enemy health bars, I like that I can see my character fighting if that makes sense, ffxi also feels like an actual adventure in comparison.
@@BrixyXI I raid log in XIV and find a higher challenge in ultimate content there than any endgame content did in XI from ToAU era to Odyssey, but that's such a small portion of XIV's gameplay loop, the rest of it just puts me to sleep when I put it next to just the journey of getting 1-75 and doing missions along the way, the actual existence of a game world and exploration
@@FUall19956 this is the answer. FFXI actually gives that genuine feeling of being in another world. You have to send together and make allies and friends or you won't make in this world. This is the Isekai game other MMOs wish they could be. And I feel the same way about XIV. Very good but very copy paste content
xivparty, equipviewer, battlemod, enemybar, distance, timers, xivhotbar ( only to keep track of inventory space atm), and xivpetbar. But a majority of my addons have been adjusted and customized.
Having played private servers for FFXi for maybe 8years ish nasomi was the last one. The player pop will drop of very fast when the hype has gone for this server. Or when people get bored at endgame . And honestly l can't understand why people are going crazy for this server there was others before this and honestly retail is just better. And before anyone comments on this I played private servers at endgame HNM dynamis sky sea etc
Been loving the new Yonin. I don't get alot of time to play the game so I'm in the early 50's but like you said there's always yells for stuff and I'm having no trouble getting parties for coffers and GK2 and stuff!
ok so thsi is supposed to be like ffxi when 75 was cap... yet ppl are 75 in a month? I played FFXI 8 hours a day EVERYDAY (as i didnt have a job back t hen) and it took 13 months to get my first 75... but ppl here did it in a month yet Im supposed to believe its like the old FFXI?
Played from 2008-2011, and my buddy hit lvl75 before his 30 day free trial was up lol. Everyone back then was telling him he had it easy with levelsync. It’s possible!
You forget that the game is not a mystery anymore. Even with the changes, people know the most optimal ways to EXP and will grind them hard. When ToAU launched in era retail, there was a 75PUP within the first two weeks of expansion release.
@@alyssarasmussen1723 Because it allows you to show tp moves on screen and spell casts separated from the chat log, making it trivial to react to them. That was from the devs, not me.
Magic burst damage and acc was boosted which makes Black Mage very strong atm. SMN + BLM burns are one of the easiest and fastest EXP methods currently. Red Mage had a couple of their things toned down. Convert is 13 mins instead of 10, refresh cost a little more mp to cast, and fast cast was nerfed slightly. It's still a very strong job though.
they can change the name all they want if SE wanted they could still send a cease and desist as they are using and modifying ffxi original files that are owned by square enix will they do that I doubt it but that don't mean it can't happen
What's the best server to bring my old character/account (which I haven't touched since 2012) so that I don't have to start all over again? I wish I can bring my lv 75 character to HorizonXI :)
Think the server limitbreak had the distance nerf for range not apply if you were main or sub ranger. Could possibly do the same thing here. Or remove distance penalty when sharpshot is active at least.
At some point I would love to see you make a ninja tank/macro guide at some point. I’m a first time nin tank and the experience has been a mixed bag on horizon.
In regards to Red Mage, it seems the main problem people have now is that it doesn’t really offer anything other jobs can’t already do. What is it’s role now in endgame?
I agree, the reason people brought Rdm to everything back in the day was the total package that Rdm could offer in one job. Haste, Refresh, Enfeebles and Heals. Handing off refresh to Smn could have major ramifications for endgame party composition that they never even considered, especially since Smn can also make skillchains for black mages too. I see a lot of Blm and Smn alliances in horizon's future, but well see I guess. I guess the only time you really need a Rdm now is if you absolutely need one of the few enfeebles that only Rdm can offer?
@@Bern16951 I have no idea what most of that means cause I'm new, but let's be excited that you guys who have been playing for so long are getting a new experience, there's probably gonna be trial and error from the devs, but you guys gey to relive and discover new things while new players like me get to experience everything, I'm fucking loving this game.
I think i am one of the few FFXI fans that dont' really like this server. They changed the game, almost like they tried to make it their game. I dont want to play their version of ffxi i want to play ffxi. Like i startd out accidently chose warrior, and was stuck with it. couldn't go rdm cause they gave me a GAX instead of the onion sword. so there i was a taru warrior... couldn't remake my char for 7 days. The game was already insanely balanced, why are they rebalancing? and the music..... why the music..... that shit was my jam. I will say though, the bard sound ws much improved.
Well. That was a disappointing experience for me. Just found out about this server, booted it, had fun fiddling with some settings and...there's no Trusts. So I'd inevitably and very quickly be forced to party with people. Yeah, no thanks, I need Trusts to play on my own. Nasomi makes me try to download the old files, this one works black magic to be its own modern installer but lacks the solo friendly element, and the official game is still a full paid sub which is downright insane to me over 20 years later. Feels like there's no version of 11 for me out there.
@@ThePresentation010 That's not a badge of honor to be more of a pain in the ass to play just because it's how it used to be. That means you will forever have less people playing an inferior game.
@@ThePresentation010 Wanting Trust is not killing challenge. Don't force me to party up with people when the game doesn't have good ways of facilitating it.
@@UltimaKeyMasterwell, that's just like your opinion man. I feel like the game has plenty of ways to facilitate group play, more than other pre-Wow classic MMOs. There's a global chat, multiple linkshells, popular zones where people gather, a discord, level sync, and other QoL things like outpost TPs and an auction house. I don't find it frustrating to have to find people manually, I find it a lot more immersive. Makes it feel like a real party of adventurers, not just a solo game with other people also playing a solo game. I'm okay with sometimes not finding a group and doing solo content in exchange for not having Trusts. Do you not find the existence of zones meant to be done by groups not facilitating group play?
Super broken economy already isn't a good sign.What really hits me hard is how slow everything is i start moving about then i think about how much of my lifetime i am wasting doing nothing but moving from point a to B. It might be an active server but i disagree with it all being great example i went through areas where players were camping everything.Also a huge portion of the server is just soloing or farming which does not make any difference how many players the server has. I was literally falling asleep just moving from point a to B did i mention how boring that feels?There is no reason at all to copy all the original game design you should learn from mistakes and poor implementation and want to IMPROVE on it.Improving any game at any time imo can never be argued then again some will argue what is considered improving and what is not. I dare ANYONE of sane mind try and condone wasting your life away just moving around doing nothing.I must be a glutten for punishment because i have tried 4x to try and get into this but i stop short of my destination go down on one knee and shutdown. I might be a weirdo but to me the most important thing with gaming should be the FUN factor and there is imo very little that is fun with this server settings.
A lot of people who may not know much of older MMOs listening to the number of high level players need to always remember. This is an old MMORPG, during the time where leveling took a while and was even hard in many games.
It's so wholesome just standing in jeuno seeing it bustling. Loving it. Oh also thunder spirit is working
The server has been super busy. Very nice to see!
Could I get a list of your UI elements/addons?
Your UI looks so clean, and I'd love to have that kind of experience for myself as well.
100% this. I didn't know you could get rid of the old party UI. I need your set up ASAP. lol

Having a great time on Horizon, no job over 40 mostly just been working on Fishing and Crafting.
Making that money!
What are your combat log and party list addons?
Do you have a specific font pack? I have the xiview in launcher but player name text looks gross, and clips a lot
What's your opinion on PUP balance at level 75?
Pulling off skill chains and magic burst was fun in this game

How is the level sync does gear sync with it as well?
Gear doesn't sync at all. If it's higher than the current sync it strips the gear off you.
