I disagree, though not trying to start an argument. The raid was a straight line (antithetical to the mazes of FF11 and other old MMOs), warped us all over the place, had poor art design like dilapidated areas being shiny and new-looking, the "social elements" are merely half-heartedly recreated by NPCs instead of having any social elements between actual players... It was a very hollow recreation in my opinion and reminded me exactly how much FF14 lacks the "old mmo cozy vibe" even when directly taking areas from them.
@Syastsk It makes sense from that perspective, I see your point ! I'm just talking vibes here, so I understand people might not get the same feeling as me, totally subjective. I actually thought about how 14's alliance raid structure couldn't really make it justice, but given that limitation I feel like they made a pretty good job. Maybe it would have worked better with a long term content with a unique big area dedicated to it. Although that was what Eureka was supposed to be as far as I know. And that content divided people. Some absolutely loved it, some hated it.
@@Syastsk Not to be rude but I think you set your expectations way too high and/or just straight-up misunderstood how xiv works when it comes to adapting collaboration content into it's own playable content.
@@nathanadams8044 You're extrapolating arguments I didn't make. I just said it didn't invoke any sense of old MMO cozyness for the reasons described.

@@nathanadams8044 Expecting dirty assets to look dirty and levels more complex then a COD campaign mission is somehow "setting ecpectations too high" ?
There was a esoteric reference to Rolanberry Fields by Prishe. "I've heard you can cut a good deal with merchants peddling their wares just outside of town"
So fun fact, that 3-man party you run into in the tree actually was hunting for Aquarius, and are shocked when your group comes up to start attacking it and the things around it. The fact that they don't help out is *also* another deep-cut reference to the fact that when things are properly aggro'd and attacked by a player in XI, other players outside the party can't attack...therefore they can't help out.
I have heard a lot of about final fantasy 11 but since it came out like 2 months before I was even born I’ve never had a real way to play it. Though going through the raid made me want to try it out one day if I ever get a PC. If I had to pick a highlight from the raid it would be the ark angels, it was such a cool fight
Absolute memory lane this video was! Thank you so much for putting this together. I use to travel to Sky to just listen to its music, but died in RoMauve because being a white mage sucked in a magic aggroed instance haha. I never got to see Fafnir in my time playing, but I did see a lot of darters in the tree. (I wasn't totally the WHM who just tried to get agility skills off crabs in a party one time.) Valkrum.. everyone wanted me to plvl their parties. I laughed and cried when the leeches get randomly link aggroed when trying to farm them under those palm trees near the highlands. I also hate the Goblin Muggers, Leechers, and I forgot the 3rd one. Fighting the cows...er sheeps? was hilarious because they were placed in the most bizzare spots. Sea horror killed me so many times, but I always got excited for pirates. Can I just mention that I got lost a lot in Castle Zhval? and also forgot the key item when I got to the top? Good memories. (I got lost everywhere in FFXI) Oh... one time a chinese gil seller asked me for a Teleport Holla. Usually people would give me me more than 500gil, but he didn't give any more than that. Was hilarious. Upper Jueno is my favorite place in Jeuno. I won't back down! 11 year old me had a fun time in Vanny land, even though I was doing stupid things most of the time. (I still want a crawler minion, and a rock lizard wearing bright orange boots named Leaping Lizzy. I just want them to torment me while being as cute as a button.)
A few things about that thf seeing us at tree, he (lol see what I did there?) was probably camping for Aquarius, back in the day it use to be heavily farmed for D cloth until they took that drop away from aqua then only ranger wanted to kill it for the axe. Another thing is that dagger was more than likely suppose to be hornetneedle, it was really good for thf because of the low delay the dex and agi was nice too a really solid off hand weapon even in early 75 era.
those dunes trains are why I spent a lot of my time LFG in the dunes. Standing near the selbina gates killing off the excess goblins while waiting for a party invite.
slight correction on the music. the throne room area in FFXI does have music and the XIV raid plays the correct corresponding music there. im only this certain because i make ambience videos for ff and did one for this zone. in fact they were quite accurate on the bgm for all the zones featured. boyahda tree has no music (hence we didnt get sanctuary of zitah)
The NPC talking about selling AFK outside Lower Jeuno made me actually laugh out loud. I’m really enjoying the FFXI stuff. I hope we get to go into a Promyvion area (preferrably like Mea, not the cities) at some point. Those places were so cool.
In the cutscene before entering the raid, Alxall rushes in from off screen to block a hit from Prish. As he does this, there is a green flash and sound effect that goes off that I cant quite make out. Is this any sort of ability or buff that mightve been recognizable from XI? Like a 2-hr cooldown?
Looks like Sentinel, lv30 Paladin ability that reduced damage taken and increased enmity. Makes sense, when used it reduces damage taken by 90% and then server ticks (every 3 seconds) down till it hits 50% for the remaining duration (30 second total)
I actually started to play 11 but the concept of Limit Breaks is kinda demotivating me. I wanted to play for the story but I cannot even level properly because I cannot gather those items that Maat wants to see without dying in the process and not making any progress on it. Seems like I'm just not cut out for that kind of oldschool tediousness
It’s not you. Those questlines were designed to be done with a group of people. Trusts are great, and can supplement for a party for a lot of content. But some times you just beed breathing people to support.
The limit breaks are intentionally harder as you need to know your class and have a proper group. If you can't fight the guys for the lb items, try out different trusts. Some trusts are great early on, others not so much. Zeid 2 is awesome damage, semih is hit or miss but generally hit. Are you also keeping up with the rov story? Think it's rov - that's the one that let's you use more trusts and such. You can also grab a linkshell from the concierge outside major town apartments, north sandoria for example. Grab a linkshell, say howdy and ask for help. You can easily get someone else to help, most people are exceptionally willing to join grinding or groups just for social interaction
Seeing just how much care and attention they put into this, the whole alliance will be tons of fun going forward! I'm glad we have Happy-senseo to teach us FFXI stuff and enhance the raid's experience.
I love how well they put FF11 into 14, hope they keep doing it for the rest of it. I remember when I first started 14 at 2.0 release, I was scared to fight some mobs cause I thought they would fight like their 11 counterparts
I don't know if its a reference you missed but Alxaal used a level 30 Paladin ability called "Sentinel" in the first clash against Prishe in the cutscene before the raid. It played the animation and sound effect appropriate for it too.
The only references you missed were the dialogue options unlocked with the hume adventurer. After you speak with him for the quest, it opens up a quest marker over his head and you can ask him a bunch of questions... really good call backs there. You did mention the salvaged armor comment but you can ask him about each boss as well for lore.
Question how do you lower the effects of other players spells i have been having a hard time seeing what the boss is going to do because my screen is nothing but white mage aoe spells going off
I would play 11. if I could get a big screen version, so I don't have to squint my eyes to pieces. and if it had a none anti consumer login. I mean people complain over ff14s but oh Boi 11's is the first boss of the game.
Just use Windower^^ It's basically a Launcher that enables the game to run in widescreen. And sure the signup process is complicated but they are guides for it and it's not THAT hard to do it imo.
Uh 2 questions actually, just started 11. How do I get the UI to look as sharp as it does in your gameplay? In my game it seems a tad fuzy Second what is that setup for the Chat and battle boxes? right now i have both in 1 and it really is confusing keeping track of everything
there are options in the config to change how the windows are arranged and to separate the combat and chat log. As for the ui scaling it might just be aspect ratio adjustment in the config or happy might be running a third party launcher or tool, the two most common are FFXI Windower and Ashita.
I still play 11. I haven't played 14 since the Elephant people started there quest line to get a weagon. So long ago that I can't even remember the expantions name
It was so nostalgic. The music, the fights! I loved it, and hopefully we can fight some sky bosses in the next couple of updates. Also, remember the Xmas music in Jeuno?!
I just want a Christmas treant boss that every 15-20% health does a massive unavoidable knock-up attack that causes the background locale to change to various outdoor areas of FFXI. That was the best Christmas event ever, being thrashed by those guys!
The ones that roam are aggro only to magic. The ones standing in those alcoves aggro magic and sight. Source: RDM that was murdered by them more than once.
The slander against my red chocobo I spent ages raising! No Crystal Stakes Cup winning chocobo is inferior to that rented slop. RedZeppelin does not appreciate your comments. Real shame that they weren't actually faster. Or that I spent how many hours, days, and gil to get a red one and to max him out.
This alliance was nice but god damn this patch rate and content is atrocious. I was able to go through EW but now i unsubscirbed until exploration content. I simply cannot understand how people are accepting this drip feed when they pay every month
The problem is that the content is too spread out. I think we'll have an update like every 2 weeks. I agree patches should still have overall more content tho.
@@gerardrosario3855 Some F2P have updates every weeks/2weeks. Even if it is not huge content each time, it is still content. This 4-5 months wait between ff14 patchs which offer at most 3 hours of content is atrocious
Agreed but honestly at least rewards are slowly being increased, with the weps from maps I find myself doing the daily free map with sum friends often now, which is nice
This and the community that is shoving nasty auction rp crap in my face all day has finally pushed me away from this game. They don't mind the 3-4 month wait because of the nastyness they do all day with ,18+ mods. It's gotten so bad in the last year it's almost every other person I meet asking me if I use mare. It's tiring and pathetic how deprived these people are.
I think everyone agrees that while DT stepped up rewards and quality of content overall, the rate at which they release it is still bad. This expansion is scheduled to have pretty much everything the game had so far, with improvements and new things like Chaotic. Exploration Zone, new "firmament", Criterion, Limited Jobs, Deep Dungeon, etc. The solution as you mentioned is just to unsub if you feel like you don't have enough to do for now, it's unfortunate and it shouldn't be this way, but it is what it is.
I have been kind of tired of the direction xiv has been going in. the community with nasty 18+ mods is everywhere I turn. I can't blacklist enough slave auction people and they always get through my term filters. I just think it's gross and sad. I tried XI this week and it was so good I think I can finally leave my houses in xiv behind
It probably depends where you hang out. I avoid the main cities for everything but quick world travel for hunts and I never had people asking me for mare or excessive suspicious adverts. It helps that I have tells disabled and barely look at the chat anyways 😂 this was the same for me when I played on NA and EU.
Playing FFXI at release remains the best MMO experience I think will ever exist, even over Everquest. That said, I won't deny it's a harder game to get into today as it is archaic in many ways, even with the latest updates. Many of the reasons I also hold it in high regard really aren't there anymore as they've been streamlined out for simplicity sake/"modern expectations". Knowing the airship cycles so you don't miss one and have to wait half an hour. Knowing the zone maps by heart for navigation. The actual travel time required to get from place A to B. Combat being slow and methodical, with teamwork required to maximize experience gains. The loss of experience and thereby time and effort when you die. The risk of loss added a significant level of tension to simple things like travel between places. When there is no risk of loss there is no real tension to gameplay. It was actually an MMO first and RPG second, where you didn't get very far without involving other players. There was no solo gameplay experience beyond the starter zones for the most part. All this said, if you can get over your (probable) initial issues with the game you're still in for an experience that FFXIV should look to try and steal some more ideas from.
If you do decide to give it a shot sometime, keep expectations realistic. It’s a very dated and Bronze Age mmo (I’ve heard the expression “drinking sand before knowing what water is”) But the sense of adventure I had/ feel playing beats out even WoW for me. maybe mrhappy can upload a “how to get play online to work/ set up ffxi” sometime, considering it is the biggest hurdle to overcome in playing the game.
oh im well aware how dated the game feels(even with so many updates). i do long for those old days of jank and such. hell i have one friend who wants to try out many MMOs other then 14, and some of the old school MMOs are on the list(she already played 11 in the past though). i have some friends now who i might be able to also start playing with me too(if only we could pay with our FF14 subs....). back in the day i wasn't too social so i got stuck around the point you needed to start grouping up or you were not gonna have a good time leveling.

As somebody who played FF11 on NA release, this raid was incredibly nostalgic. They did a really good job.
Even though I never played XI. This raid still manage to make me feel nostalgic. It really had that old mmo cozy vibe. They really nailed it.

They mentioned the players AFK selling items outside Jeuno with the player personal bazaar to get past Jeuno's crazy high tax.

@@jasonclark3351 Oh yeah I forgot that one, which is ironic given I did mention it in my initial walkthrough
If you use healer LB3 during the Prishe fight she makes a disbelieving comment about you having "Her" blessing too.

Yeah folks would set up their own stores outside of town to avoid the auction house taxes lol

in character configuration there is an option setting that let's you turn them down to simple or even completely off if need be.
Worth noting with AQ is that it's possible the core abilities might have just been copied from XIV KA, which also uses Hundred Fists

It probably depends where you hang out. I avoid the main cities for everything but quick world travel for hunts and I never had people asking me for mare or excessive suspicious adverts. It helps that I have tells disabled and barely look at the chat anyways 😂 this was the same for me when I played on NA and EU.
What server are you on? I've actually rarely if ever seen lewd RP in public spaces, be it in chat PF or anywhere else.
I am on brynhildr, my chat is railed with adverts all day. I have played on hyperion in the past also and it was pretty bad there as well
@@Funguspower2 I'm on Zodiark so maybe this is an NA thing then since I've never really noticed it on the EU datacenters
...You don't look at 18+ mods if you don't have mods yourself. And RP auction has been a thing for years. Do you just want to trigger people? XD
the more i hear about 11 the more i want to play it again. so much i never got to experience when i played so many years ago.
Playing FFXI at release remains the best MMO experience I think will ever exist, even over Everquest.
That said, I won't deny it's a harder game to get into today as it is archaic in many ways, even with the latest updates. Many of the reasons I also hold it in high regard really aren't there anymore as they've been streamlined out for simplicity sake/"modern expectations". Knowing the airship cycles so you don't miss one and have to wait half an hour. Knowing the zone maps by heart for navigation. The actual travel time required to get from place A to B. Combat being slow and methodical, with teamwork required to maximize experience gains.
The loss of experience and thereby time and effort when you die. The risk of loss added a significant level of tension to simple things like travel between places. When there is no risk of loss there is no real tension to gameplay. It was actually an MMO first and RPG second, where you didn't get very far without involving other players. There was no solo gameplay experience beyond the starter zones for the most part.
All this said, if you can get over your (probable) initial issues with the game you're still in for an experience that FFXIV should look to try and steal some more ideas from.
If you do decide to give it a shot sometime, keep expectations realistic. It’s a very dated and Bronze Age mmo (I’ve heard the expression “drinking sand before knowing what water is”)
But the sense of adventure I had/ feel playing beats out even WoW for me.
maybe mrhappy can upload a “how to get play online to work/ set up ffxi” sometime, considering it is the biggest hurdle to overcome in playing the game.
oh im well aware how dated the game feels(even with so many updates). i do long for those old days of jank and such. hell i have one friend who wants to try out many MMOs other then 14, and some of the old school MMOs are on the list(she already played 11 in the past though).
i have some friends now who i might be able to also start playing with me too(if only we could pay with our FF14 subs....). back in the day i wasn't too social so i got stuck around the point you needed to start grouping up or you were not gonna have a good time leveling.
