- FFXI Classic - Airships and Outpost Warps!
Final Fantasy XI hails from a different era of gaming, where mmos were an even larger time investment than they are now. A huge part of that was the immense amount of travel that could take place in Vana'diel....but is that a better formula than instant warps and teleports?
New gaming videos every week! Nostalgic throwbacks, Top Tips, and just random hilarity fumbling my way through Final Fantasy XI, XIV, and a myriad of others. Released every Saturday.

I have physically broken down due to missing a kazham airship. But am a stronger man for it having happened.
I think you mean mentally broken down.
@@Krucifus It felt pretty physical
idk.
LOL, how many times I've been sprinting as fast as I could just to see a boat/airship disembark right as I approach it....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yeah yesterday I had to take the stupid from Shelbina 2m huara that stupid thing was 15 minutes long and spawned two monsters for me to kill on the ship period after zipping around fast traveling all day that just about took me out
i miss taking a long time to go too places :( it always felt like an adventure, even if it meant spending an entire day completing just a single quest. It felt like a journey. i always say to my friends. The journey begins the moment you exit character creation. it shouldn't have to need start the moment you hit max level. it's about the journey/adventure and experience you make for yourself, that's why to me FF11 will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. To my first time going from windurst as a low level warrior to my first leveling party. to going through bastok to go to the tunnels to go to the dessert to finally reaching Sea and Sky. memories embeded into my heart that will always last me forever. now a days in FF14 i get to a new zone and i could careless but FF11 zones always held a sense of wonder and a chilling fear of the unknown to me which i loved.
Outpost warps were added in an event for Christmas 2003 (just prior to when I started playing originally) - the "Twinkling Treants" needed to all be defeated on all servers before the event would end and actually unlock the outpost warp system.
Was about to post this because this was the first event I ever attended. I started playing November 2003. The big treant in South Gustaberg that took days to defeat. :D
Wow never knew this!
@@Huntin4GamesChannel From what little I remember from that time but I believe Fairy(?) was the only server that failed to complete the event to unlock.
If they were available that early i was unaware of them. I remember doing the supply quests though but not using the OPs
Did they have to much hp or Def or something the first few days of that event, and needed to be patched?
Honestly, the later additions of survival guides, and then non-city homepoints (particularly in really odd locations) definitely made the world a bit smaller, but there were just so many zones by the late 2000's that the game did need it. That said, it was never particularly bad travelling around Vana'diel for most things - the random durations of sneak & invisible were *far* more frustrating than the actual ways of getting around. I think the game was designed for it to take a while getting somewhere, to make it always seem it was like part of your journey for exp (or treasure, or whatever else you were off to do).
I think I like the *idea* of having "getting there" being part of the challenge, but in practice, fast-travel has become so ubiquitous that a modern game without it just seems wrong. I do love how FFXI made me spend more time chatting with people while waiting for ferries & airships though, I made some friends that way =)
There are no games to date that have the same experience as Final Fantasy XI.
I remember when "warping out" wasn't a thing, unless you were playing BLM, or were in an EXP party with someone with D2, obviously. Yes warp scrolls existed, yes warp cudgels became a thing once you eventually had the financial means to have one on you at all times... but before that, there was a time when you didn't just "warp back home" when adventuring out into the wild. Oh it took you 30 minutes to work your way deep into a dungeon or dangerous area for a quest? Welp, now get ready for the journey home.
Yes, you had to run your way all the way back to town. Back out of the dungeon. Back across the fields and large open areas, dodging the high-level mobs along the way. And finally getting back to town, really making it feel like you "went out on a journey" every time you left a major city. Finally making it back to town after a long journey, just to finish one mission or quest or general task, really felt like an accomplishment - seeing the glorious gates of your home town or Jeuno come into view after a long run, really felt like you were being welcomed home after being away.
This wasn't ALWAYS the case of course, but it definitely was in the early game when you were a lower level and you didn't have a consistent source of income yet. Never did the game feel as large and adventurous as it did during that period. It was brutal, but man did it generate some great memories.
Warp Cudgels were added with CoP expansion, as they required animas which took memories from Empty zones. I do agree with most everything you said, but Warp Cudgels weren't a widespread thing until late 2005/early 2006 timeframe.
I remember dark times before warp cudgels. I can't remember if instant scrolls existed or were a lot of Conquest points.
Either way, great stories. I recall many nights trekking away from an XP party, spending half an hour to find safety.
@@coda7994 The instant scrolls were always a thing but they were expensive, so people used them sparingly. I want to say they were either 500 or 750 CP each, but don't quote me on that.
I remember D2 griefing where a BLM would D2 you mid fight in the citadel... It was always fun when they get bored and do that...
Or you just got an xp buffer and death warped.
You got to start more of these videos with “back in my days…..” lol. I totally agree we don’t need to traverse the vast Vana because now we just warp there and back in minutes. I loved the 45 minute trip, meeting people on the way, help someone out, enjoy the music, then run back.
Do you remember when the MOG tablets came out? And if you rested for a while you could get a small speed boost? Those were the days....
I do think that there has to be some happy middle ground between this old school method of traveling taking a long time and having accessibility to warps etc. New World is doing well despite people having to run everywhere and it can take quite sometime to navigate the terrain. I just wonder how much FF11 was held back by the technology of the time. Like I wonder how they could make these systems better and quicker now with modern tech. Especially the load times between zones and the boat and airship times.
Waiting on airship, Getting on and traveling, then running to party. 45 minutes. miss that a lot. crazy as that seems.
The number of times I chanted to the airship timer gods "don't leave, don't leave, don't leave" while running for an airship. 🥲
Turns out this thumbnail is one of those images you can literally hear.
Travel was probably way to hard early game, however as your outposts grew, as you got into a shell that kinda went away. As long as you walked the zones once it became fine.
Shout teleports became a thing, eventually all the outposts got claimed. This was a costly way to play as a solo player but it was an option.
The only real issues arise when you went deep into dungeons, or really remote locations, and this was generally mitigated with preparation of RR items... That is of course assuming a true sight dragon did not spawn 😂. This was made on purpose, if you where heading to the keep, cape, or any of the other far off locations it was meant to be a risk.
As it should be, I think. Further from a town -> Less traveled -> More dangerous.
9:35 the truest crunch in kazham wasnt the lack of exp spots or goblin trains.. it was inventory 🤣😂🤣
Outpost warps were not there from the onset. There was a world event that was massive. Everyone was level capped and had to kill huge tree ents. The gift was supposedly for the server who complete it first. We were on Fenrir server and we finished it first with a bullet. The other lower population servers lagged so far behind that the GMs had to finish it for them. A month later we got outpost warps for everyone. Then of course was the nightmare of getting the outpost opened if your country controlled it. Long live Sandy as we owned everything including Gustaberg and Sarutabaruta.
The day, as a Windurstian, I acquired Gustaberg and Ronfaure OP warps was absolutely huge!
Damn, dude, you're still going and that makes me happy. I get a strong FFXI urge every month and I check out your channel. I don't know if it's the game or the community I miss.
Boy i had so much travel time since I played vanilla hard to imagine without it. Gets rid of the no invested player base quickly. Which i know for a fact contributed to such an enjoyable time to a game we all loved. (Because so many were filtered out). Thanks for your videos.
I played bst so I could make solo leveling progress because travel, and schedules, and work regularly got in the way of making progress in other capacities. But I remember the excitement of getting a tele-point, and working to gain control of a location to be able to unlock OP's... man... that was something. All part of the adventure!
I love in game public transportation systems, especially ones with combat events. Still wish Windurst had a Gondola system.
Dang! This brings back memories of tele-taxis in Jeuno! Good times!
It’s the only way I was able to buy anything as a broke ass WHM, but I also didn’t charge like 10k or something stupid I just let people tip if they wanted
Another big thing about outpost warps is they generally were not used often until much later when they connected the city Auction Houses to Jeuno. So much of early XI was all teleports from Jeuno or airships only.
Lengthy travel times are definitely a thing of the past at this point, primarily due to the fact that when taking into account that a players time should be valuable and should respect the free time they have in their life.
However the commodity of discovery and exploration should not be forgotten in the essence of travel. A system where you need to get there first in order to teleport there again is one thing, but another thing to consider is the activity involved in traveling there to begin with.
With Final fantasy XI classic travel, most of the traveling was just walking and waiting. It wasn't necessarily exciting, difficult, or eventful. It was just time consuming.
However with the boats between selbina/mhaura or mhaura/whitegate, players were given the option to ride these boats for fishing as well as events that take place on the boat itself. So in a sense, adding an eventful nature to these "long travel sessions" is a great way to prevent these traveling mechanics from feeling empty.
Most of time you won't see people riding an airship or a regular boat to "get around" anymore because there are faster ways to travel, but you will still see people get on the boats to fish or fight an NM that spawns specifically on them. And some areas that you travel by foot or on chocobo was mostly entirely empty and devoid of any meaninful activity you can do there.
If there was more to do in these open areas, or if there was more reason for the area to recieve traffic then the world would feel more alive, rather than the feeling of your just trying to get from point A to point B.
And while there is a debate on this specific topic, I feel like the way world of warcraft implemented flight paths with their fast travel mechanic was a good medium for travel. You made travel time consuming, but not attention consuming. If players wanted to see the sights of the landscape they could watch their character fly around on the path, but if they just wanted to get to a destination they could set their destination and forget, or come back later.
The important thing here is for the game to be respectful of the players time, and to understand that when they start up the game, there should be "something" they can do. Even if something requires some work to get to, that work should be "meaningful" in some way. It's not very meaningful when a quest or something is just "Walk to this spot" It's better if there's stuff you do along the way, or stuff you CAN do while going there.
Even the chocobo riding in final fantasy XI had chocobo digging, so even if you never needed to ride a chocobo again, there was still something you could do with chocobo's. Final Fantasy XI was definitely ahead of it's time in terms of making sure every part of the game was relevant even post progression. Although that was kind of lost with modern FFXI with most pre-99 content essentially being skipped, the original concept of the game tried really hard to make sure that the stuff you did mattered at all levels, which is more that can be said of most games.
I liked that it was so hard to travel in the classic 75 era. It makes the world feel more realistic. It also made the entire NM and HNM scene more exciting. I remember any time an HNM like Tiamat or Jormungand or Vrtra would spawn it would be a race, a mad dash to get enough people out there on the right jobs to hold it until the rest of the kill group could show up. Watching Linkshells wiping because they engaged too fast before enough people got there was the funniest thing ever in the game. Especially if you didn't like them. Then stealing the HNM, killing it and rubbing it in their face. That was the real PvP. lol XD
Travel is really hard to get perfect. I think removing it completely via fast travel/warps really sucks. It removes the feeling of a bustling world full of travelers and also removes a lot of organic situations that can happen between players.
The tedium of 75-cap travel in FFXI was probably overboard.
If I had to choose one extreme, I’d take the tedious travel over a lifeless world every time.
Does anyone remember the Xmas event that led to Outpost Warps, the Christmas Treant? It was a server wide gift for defeating this NM that everyone could attack at the same time. Once everyone realized what this gift was, traveling around was never the same.
I think outpost warps we're one of the best things to happen in the game. I think there was something to having to traverse by foot your first bit of the game. And produced allot of frustration and stress. Lol But being able to stream line your process as you went was surely appreciated.
It didn't make the world seem small to me because there was still so much going on. What ended up making it feel small to me was at 99 era and allot of zones just completely died.
Oh man I did every holiday event that gave out the city teleport necks and then hoarded them as long as possible unless it was super important. Not to mention the insane amount of points I burned on warp scrolls and the cost of always having 2 warp cudgel on me as much as possible. Good times
Also to this day I get lost leaving Yoater telepoint crystal for at least 15-30 min
I still dont know how to travel in Yhoator and still accidentally fall through holes
Back in the day when I had to be escorted by the LS at the time to Xarcabard to get the crystal. Was so amazed at how the zone looked cause I had never seen it before. So much fun
I loved the long journeys. My fondest memory was my first jaunt to Jeuno. My first run was from Sandoria. West Ronfaure > La Theine > Jungar Forest > Batilla Downs....trying not to aggro the Sabertooths, Fungars or Leeches.
My second time I came from Windurst which may have been shorter I believe, but the most dangerous. East Sarutabaruta > Tahrongi > Meriphataud Mountians > Sarumongue Champaign...having to get around the Weapons at the Spine and Dinos in champaign was a challenge.
Uff i remember those dinos, damn they they were hard
I had the Bastok route myself, S Gusta > N Gusta > Konschtat > Pashhow > Rolanberry. Longest route, I believe, but worth it for the Rolanberry Fields music. Though the sound aggro Quadav everywhere/Malboro in Pashhow made it pretty scary.
I think the classic 75 era of FFXI has the right balance of convenience while still having that feeling of a vast world. It also reinforced the concept of grouping together like if you want to teleport you'll need a WHM, or warp back to your homepoint with a BLM, and soforth.
Outpost warps were always there but apparently when the game launched you could only teleport to outpost that were under your nation's control that week (similar to how Homing Rings work), which made their use a lot more limited. Makes me wonder how conquest parties looked like.
Remember getting that party invite, that you waited hours for (pre-level sync era), and having to travel aaaaaall the way there, only to have it disband minutes after getting there?
I hated it at the time...but what I'd give, to go back and relive the FFXI glory days.
i love traveling in mmo's because always me to get immersed in the world as if im about of it. i understand fast travel but it takes away from the world of the game.
Oh man, traveling in Vana'diel influenced my mentality that transferred to XIV when I got to the part where I was told to travel to the other cities. I remember shouting asking how often do the airships arrive!!!???
I didn't know that travel was instant.
I also thought I needed to ask a WHM for a teleport to wherever LOL 🤣.
I’d agree with you. The fact that travel was so challenging in XI made the game feel real and immersive. I jumped back into XI a bit last year after not playing since 2009 and could still remember how to get everywhere. I don’t get that same feeling in XIV
Traveling was a part of the experience for me; I dont think I realized how good OP warps were until way later in my playtime.
FFXIV is sad cuz there are so many beautiful zones but you never see them; or just fly above everything instantly to get where you need to go.
Recently I took a run thru an old zone and told myself not to fly, and it really brought me back to the memories I had of said zone, which was way worth it.
Some times if I have to travel through a zone, I'll take a chocobo porter. The zones are beautiful, and some times it's nice to just see the scenery, and it's fun to stop and heal people struggeling in a fate, or help them out.
Things you'll only understand if you played classic FFXI: having a friend or LS tell you "hey our DD is leaving in like ten minutes, if you rush out here you can take their place" and you're so excited cause DD jobs are like the hardest to get invites for, so you drop everything you're doing, head out there, only to get to where the party is and hear the dreaded "actually we decided to disband, sorry! :("
Thats the thing i never really got feom ffxi classic, you could actually make an load of exp just duoing mobs but for some reason ppl never understood this....
I like the need to earn your way to speed. First, local learning areas, then travel to the Dunes, usually with an escort. Then that first big trip to Jeuno, and get your Chocobo. Now the world is open! Choco to most areas you need. Then sloooooly get to where you earn your keys, to get the boat to Elshimo. Then sloooowly get to where you earn your regular airboat pass. And along the way, gather as many outposts as you can. Then....after level 50, even in the Classic Servers, I could see adding some other warp points. But not till after at least one character has earned it.
I like both. One promotes more explor and other more effective. I do wish after I have done all the exploring I can just tella port to the closest home point crystal.
Juno the first time you make it to Juno you feel such a sense of accomplishment that is not felt in other games.
So much of my inventory space, was dedicated to travel items... Like, I had the Halloween staffs, that offered Warp (on strict cooldowns), I had rings, for each teleport crystal. I had "Warp Glyphs", after ironically doing the weekly Chocobo Riding Games, which would have you travel to a destination anyway... It was HANDY to have, sure! Like... Oh, I need to go to Bastok, fast! Pull out a one-time use Glyph and spend it. It was frustrating, but I quite liked it. As you said, it made Vana'Diel vast and special.
Traveling was definitely a skill.
I love having travel as a component in the game play and something that has to be worked out. I still play private servers a lot its awesome
I think back to those days with some fondness, but at the same time, I can't deny that I would not be able to go back
I don't know which I prefer, the old way or the fast way. The old challenge, man you really hit the nostalgia buttons for me, and what you said really resonated. But it's true, I really don't have as much time these days, so I doubt I could really do the hour wait for a party followed by a 15 minute trip to reach the group (on a good day) just to get some experience.
I enjoy exploring, especially by foot. Lets you take it all the scenery in; but on bird, you do have a time limit and makes you need to go go go.
Especially if you're warping to Mea and grabbing a bird to go to the maze. I ain't paying 2k for a bird ride.
Had a 5k mea chocobo
Oh man I miss the old transportation. I remember every once in a while you will hear a shout in Port Jueno that would go "Nooo00000ooooo00oo0000oooo000ooo0000oooo000ooooooo000000". Lol you knew right at that moment someone missed their airship. But the quest i loved the best was the quest from Port Sandy, where you had to smuggle drugs into Jueno via airship. Lol If you got caught at customs in Port Jueno they suspended your airship pass for an entire earth day. Lol good ole times.
When I came back to FFXI I took the boat just for the memories, but it is nice as an adult to not waste valuable playtime running through zones.
I remember running a Teleport Taxi back in the days lol One of the ways I made decent gil.
This discussion is missing just how vital and important Movement Speed gear was then. Trotter boots and Heralds Gaiters was very expensive back then because of this. Getting Skadi Feet was awesome as it was kinda almost free from salvage, and the later unity Simurgh boots.
It wasn't only Kazham. Remember how long it took to get to the Boyhada Tree for a skill up party? Remember how far you had to go to get a (For me it was a) RDM testimony? I really liked the travel if only for the immersion. New World is kind of similar btw.
There is a happy middle ground to be found there:
Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to use the boats and flying boats in the game : (
This is a pity because the boats and flying boats are real in this game, physical objects that really exist and take you through the world very fast, and not just a cutscene, other players can see the flying boats in the air, and normal boats in the sea, etc.. All of this adds a lot to the experience of the game feeling like an actual living breathing world, a simulation of the world it presents.
But nowadays, after the first time you go to a place, you can always teleport there...
This takes a lot out of the game's immersion. The argument is that the original way took a long time to wait (up to 11m waiting between one boat and another, and up to 6m of actual travel time). And I understand that.
One way to fix this would be: keep some teleports, but between cities still force players to use flying boats, while also modifying the current way boats operate… putting two boats on each path at a time would be a great start, making boats available every ~4m always, something like that. And maybe make the boats a little faster, shortening the travel time by ~1m to less than the current one.
The last thing would be to actually create new connections, having every city connect with each other directly.
The above changes would keep all the original immersion, but without the long waiting times of the original.
Teleporter usage could be limited to a maximum range that increases with the player level but never allowing teletransportation from capital city to capital city.
Another good example are chocobos and teleportation books.
In the classic teleportation books didn't exist, but sometimes they are a very welcome help, the problem is when they are abused.
I would love to see many books removed, however I believe the game should keep the books inside dungeons and dangerous hard to reach regions.
Acquiring a chocobo license and hiring chocobos was an essential part of the original game. But the classic form is a little too much work as when you dismount a chocobo, it's gone and you can't call it again.
The ideal middle ground, in my view, would enable you to call the hired chocobo again after dismounting it if you have time left. Maybe make it so that every time you call the chocobo again, ~3~5m of the chocobo's current available timer is removed, but you can call it again as many times as you like within ~2 ~3h after hiring one or until the usage timer is fully depleted (30m).
With this modification, it would no longer be necessary for people to have personal mounts (those could be available at level 75+, something like that, instead of having them at level ~20 as it is today). One way to bypass it would still be to raise your own chocobo the classic way, of course.
I did just read a bit but wanted to say i agree Bout the boats and airships, u can see them! As a new player i was always so excited about it and remember always seeing around looking for legendary dragons like ho ho in pokemon lol, it just felt so real u know
ff xi was really the definition of "Distant Worlds" and lived that concept
I remember conducting small interviews when taking party invites in remote areas in which I knew would take awhile for me to get there. "Party?" Me: "How long you guys been there? Who's leaving? Is the BRD staying?" haha
I used the Halloween staffs that had Warp latent effect, best things ever
I just came back from a hiatus and leveled my paladin from 1-75 today. How times have changed.
I woudn't call modern travel in FFXI too difficult, travel in every other MMO is too easy, the amount of travel in modern FFXI is just the right amount for feeling a part of a larger world
Few things. 1 move speed is so bad in classic that in Eden i mained Bard so i could have my own personal mazurka permanently lol. 2. I offered to help an LS mate with his LB1 items while i wait for finding a group for mission 5-1. The items refused to drop and a 30 minute endeavor lasted 6 hours haha i love it
I recall doing exactly what you said in this game.... getting a 36. warrior to realize i prefer windurst and the zones.... ugh and i miss yuhtungha jungle parties
I hope this game lives on forever.....
I was running to the dunes from pastock as I was passing weeping Lizzy's Rock there was a loan Mithra being chased by a herd of rock lizards so I'm of course went helped this was in about 2004 and. After recovering from that chair enveloping moment I struck up a conversation with this person and we started playing together and we've been married ever since that's what I miss about the old games the travel the Random Encounters the unlooked for events I played Final Fantasy 14 for the last 6 years I truly enjoy the game it is what I always wanted 11 to become except for that quick travel so about 6 months ago I started using my chocobo to travel everywhere unless I absolutely had to use Warp and the level of interaction I've had with so many more people brought back that old feeling that I had for Final Fantasy 11 sometimes it's not the game mechanics but how we use them
Fun Fact: Bastok is actually pronounced "bah-STOOK" like the O is a U.
That or the voice over in the Opening Movie got it wrong and noone at SE noticed/cared.
i started a few months after ps2 release and remember the outpost warp update after that so i think they only made it in sometime between zilart and cop!
I'd love to see a video based about gardening mentioning the supposed elements of the seeds, element levels of the Mog Houses, and theories of how people obtain certain results. I garden alot of WingsXI and its my main source of income. I'd love to hear your opinions on the topic. This still seems to be a controversial subject when it comes down to the details of how it all actually works.
I spent so much time in fort ghelsba, I still know all of the worthless NMs that most people never saw
I dropped everything I was doing for the airships lol
I just transferred to Asura. I was on Valefor since 2004. But just came back to the game two weeks ago since March 2013. I’m a total noob again. Just for the record. I started playing ffxi when I was 32 years old >< ;) I’m on the road and bored. I’m totally hooked again. I need taru taru bifocals tho
Tarus don't come with bifocals?
Difficult but so amazing and memorable
We used to pay 1000gil for teleport from whm.
I take a world as seriously as it takes itself. If it is a theme park, it is as frivolous as a theme park. By that same token, if you are a wizard who teleports me around a theme park, I treat you as a joke.
such a great topic! one of the things you love / hate about ffxi
Voracious resurgence I definitely leading up to the release of ffxi classic
I feel some sort of middle ground would be best. The problem with 14 is too much is instanced. I have never had any sense for how big the world is and i could not tell you where a single dungeon in the world is actually located. I miss gathering everyone and setting out together and trying to avoid the dangers of the world. But on the other hand 11 does take it to the extreme and i just don't feel as up to it as i used to.
FFXI travel in classic was better. It could use a lil help like more transportation options and even speed up time on ships/boats a little bit. Regardless FFXI classic is better than today's standards. Today it sucks, the game just doesn't feel adventurous at all.
zones were ment to have adventures. travel and danger is in important to the experience. even at lv cap most of the game can kill you. you are always "playing" and nothing really becomes obsolete.
ffxi is brilliant even if a clunky PS2 game.
Alt lvling in rabo
Ever feel like you want a classic FFXI server? Make a new character and don't use the new warps and you have a 'close enough' experience.
The travel challenge in classic FFXI is just another example of the game's design philosophy in action. Just like exp parties and crafting. The game's scope, world building, and challenge comes first, above all else. Little to no respect for the player's time.
It's the experience in ff11, modern game takes that experience away which makes it boring to play.
2006 XI? Yes...Traveling as an obstacle was worth it.
2021 barely supported XI? No.....just a waste of time for a game that is not receiving much love from devs.....I don't wanna put much effort in a game, they are not putting much effort in
Modern MMOs have become glorified co-op games. I'm thankful to see all of these "era" style servers pop up. I wish SE would do an official one like Blizzard did with WoW, but I rather doubt we'll ever see that.
Hello ,,,The death of Jesus pardoned us of all wrong doing. He rose to life 3 days later. God is his father. His father made all. Breathe oxygen,,,
Another episode yay how to milk FFXI Again.
Have your sins been forgiven today and forever? Think about this. The God of the bible, the One True God made us to worship him, obey him, and enjoy him forever. We break His laws daily by not putting Him first, not thanking Him like we should, we lie, we lust, we have sex before marriage, we dishonor our parents, we covet things other people have, we take God's name and use it in vain, we use it in a low manner, sometimes as a cuss word, (God is holy and even His name is holy), we don't love like we should, etc. In doing so we're saying He's not a good provider, He's a liar, He's untrustworthy, He's not worthy of praise. All these things and more are counted against us. The bible says God is the just judge of the world and one day He will settle the score for all the wrong we've done. God is holy meaning He is righteous (morally perfect in thought, word, and deed) It also means He is set apart and higher than us. God being good, must punish all sin or wrong doing in the world. This means that if you sin one time God will cast you in hell for eternity. Because He is good and He doesn't turn a blind eye to sin. But there is good news. 2000 years ago Jesus the Son of God came into this world and lived a perfect life ( He never sinned once) and He died on the cross taking the wrath that we deserve and paid the penalty for the sins we committed. The bible says that if you will repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in what Christ did on the cross (He took the wrath of God that was meant for you and I) then all your sins will be forgiven and when you die you will be in heaven with God and all who believe for eternity. Jesus died and on the third day He rose from the grave. Get right with God today don't wait. Once you die after that comes the judgement. Hebrews 9:27 It's the most important thing you can do. You must be born again John 3:7 If you repent and trust in what Christ did on the cross it shows that you've been born again or born spiritually. Right now you're dead in your sins and you can't see the beauty of Jesus Christ but after you trust in Christ all the things you hate about God like obeying him, serving Him, loving Him and others, reading the bible, praying and going to church you will love to do those things because God changes your heart. That's how you know you have been born again and forgiven. Please think long about this and ask me any questions you have as this is the most important thing you can ever think of in your life. An eternity in hell (darkness and a lake of fire the bible describes it, with weeping and gnashing of teeth) or an eternity out of that place and into the loving arms of God who is infinitely glorious, has infinite knowledge and has infinite power to do all that He pleases. You decide. Have a great day!
Love your channel and content, but it's pronounced "bus-tuke" (per the intro video)!!
This one is not so certain, but I feel like Kazham should be pronounced like Shazam
FFXI Was such a good game, and the travel in the game was one of the major parts of it. In the new days of it, if you wanted a party, you'd sit in the zone, or near the zone with your flag up. Partying up in the dunes? I remember sitting at the entrance of the dunes/selbina waiting for hours with others trying to get a party. Same with Qufim, and Kazham. Was such a pain getting from area to area early on.
I remember people selling teleports 2k-5k at times, just to get a little bit closer. This was all before OP warps. You could get a chocobo from Jeuno, or one of the main nations, and travel for 10-20 minutes, or get a teleport, then grab a chocobo at the telepoint.
When OP warps came out, it made travel easier, and it still felt like the game was just huge. Then home point warps were added in. The game didn't feel as big, and it made it easier to level up, and continue, and death wasn't as bad, because you could just warp to a homepoint or outpost that was close to that area.
FFXI was fantastic to travel in, but if you needed to go from one area to another quickly, it did suck, but it made the game feel like it was actually bigger than it was.
