I'm excited - but I wish I have friends to play with.
Same here....all my friends love 14 but it doesn't do it for me. It's a fine game, just not it for me.
Im gunna get back in bow
I think they should add new mobs to the starters areas like the dunes BUT…. you can only engage them if mastered. Maybe an updated set of names mobs like Master Goblin Butcher or Master Quadav/Orc/Yagudo
Square: "Yo dawg, we see that u still like XI, well we put a grind in your grind while you grind so you can grind your jobs all over again while attempting the big final grind!"
*Slap my own face* - Not this time! No!
I grinded out my BST job points almost entirely solo a couple years ago. In the iterim I have collected every useful piece of gear for BST, and grinding those MLs was a blast. I am excited to replay some jobs in a party format.
You got that kraken though?
This got me very excited about FFXI again!
The problem is I started a fresh character because I wanted to play the story in order, and I have a long long way to go until I can reach these. I also sort of thought you could raise your subjob to 99, which would be extremely exciting!
If only they would update the graphics, controls, and add actions so you dont have to create a macro for every action.
I miss my ffxi smn so so bad along with my sch and blu ... those are the jobs I really miss the most... the smn on ffxiv just isn't the same feeling as the joy I got from ffxi
Still working on first master. Can’t wait to try a pup with kick attacks.
I can't wait to jump back in and start leveling master levels. I haven't played for a few months, got kinda bored with it but looks like this update might make it a bit more fresh
A Bigger update would be you going back to the NM series lol
Well, this new content might be very very hard for me and I need to grind for atleast a master job and get some +3 gear. I'm so out of date, but here comes endwalker and dammit so hard to return to 11 and just hope ill make time to play it again.
As an avid but not really an expert pup, I’d hope avatars kind of evolves more like a automaton in the future mastery levels e.g. Focusing more on Helios gear for damage and defense.
Really would love to see different areas. Sick as hell of being in moh gates. Would love to see apex mobs in old school zones.
Also, I'm kind of hoping they introduce new content that may also reward large amounts of exemplar points (maybe eventually for Emp+2/3?). For instance, grinding apex mobs can be pretty dull, but at least in content like Odyssey segment farming, you can still get some pretty solid exemplar points (especially in C) while still achieving progress within Odyssey.
I know what you mean by losing that feeling of growth. I believe a lot of that was lost back when they let players enter Abysses at lvl1.
I'm excited for the future. From the way it feels, the long term future is looking great.
Because I think its still going to be a year or so until we see even the alpha for Pantheon, and I need a real adventure game to dig into, I'm really thinking about finally starting XI. This seems like an interesting point to jump into retail. Have been on the fence for a long while about diving into current retail or a private server like Wings
No time like the present, go for it and enjoy the Vana
Very nice you will enjoy it.
So you go with a private server or retail? I've been playing retail trial on Bahamut, enjoying it a lot so far but I am very curious about that classic era of the game.
@@ProfessorShnacktime check out horizon xi
I am 2405 job points away from being able to sniff Mastery.
I honestly feel like SMN will lead into more melee opportunities depending on subjob, SMN can easily become a jack of all trades with some limitations, so SMN could be in for a wild ride, which makes me excited as SMN was the first job i mastered and got a Mythic on.
I get what you mean about a Smn's SJ not directly enhancing your Avatar, but tbf it's a job where SJ really determines what kind of Smn you'll be playing, similar to how Brd's SJ often plays a large role in what kind of Brd you'll be playing. Like you can play Smn pretty passively, where your SJ won't rly matter (similar to Brd). Or you can focus more into melee or healing/support, where your SJ will play a huge role. Granted, expanding the versatility of your job usually requires investing into diverse gear and requires greater player skill to back it up, but it can lead to some of the most fun you'll have in FFXI. I know there were some Smns out there for instance that were replacing dedicated healers entirely in some content (obviously not everything) before MLs even existed, so now gaining stuff like Curaga III/Divine Veil with /whm or lowered Strat recasts/Stona with /sch just allows you to push yourself further.
Anyways, since we're gaining more combat skill from MLs, I would love if they eventually introduced new WSs (maybe FINALLY unlocked Campaign WSs for players to use). It's certainly exciting about the potential of MLs and where FFXI could be going, but knowing SE, there will likely be disappointment unfortunately along the way.
Haven’t played for years but love to keep up with the game. Ff11 is my favorite game of all time so many memories many of which aren’t so great but still fun looking back. Maybe one day lol
I really want to come back to 11 sometime but with endwalker coming out I don’t think I can play both at the same time.
Don't worry. You won't have to. FFXIV server queues are 5,000+ and will d/c before you ever get in, if you can connect to the data center at all (I'm looking at you Error: 2002). So much for early access.
@@KhallDrake I’ve been able to play I’m almost 90 on my smn.
@@stephanieking8299 Lucky！ I was able to connect once Sunday morning for a few hours. Otherwise its 2002 or a queue of 5000.
@@KhallDrake I’ve been okay as long as I log in fast enough after 2002 I don’t lose my place and after I finally get it I don’t have any issues :)
New sub 1st video. Loved it!!
I went back to FFXI sometime ago and while i was playing on my own it was okay but boring without friends. When i decided to do endgame content and join a LS for it whatever remained of the rose colored glasses came off community was toxic and unhelpful and required insane gear requirements in order to get accepted plus you'll never play a job you like unless you like playing afk support jobs. This game might not be dead but it's on life support
I agree I been playing solo for months and I cant get anyone to even talk. Debating on just giving up on this game entirely. Its to the point where you cant even play healers or support jobs cause everyone is multboxing those jobs, so those jobs arent needed anymore. Games pathetic that you have to have six accounts to get any where in this game cause no one wants to play with others. I said it before and I will say it again FFXI is a game about people playing with themselves.
@@dkjohns777 Sounds like y'all should play together then! I'm a new player too. One more and we could have a 4 man group. :D
I've never met a single non-pug/merc group that required insane gear that wasn't hard required. And no, stuff like "relic weapon or equivalent" (NOT Mythic/empyrean) isn't "insane gear" - A relic is 26M atm on asura and you can farm it in a week with minimal effort if you don't want to spend gil, though farming the gil is easier than farming the currency.
You can get full +2 ambu gear over the course of 2 days, which combined with job mastery (2100 JP) easily puts you at acc cap for anything but the most endgame of content.
You can farm up a naegling entirely solo minus the pulse weapon, which you can either build pup to easily solo, or build an apoc drk to easily solo, or build a sch to easily solo, or build nin or rdm to semi-easily solo, or find a group willing to farm a pulse weapon for you, or grind the abysmal drop rate from voidwatch or other old content during their adventurer campaigns.
A naegling ~anything that can use it~ is hitting for 20-50k per ws pretty easily, which allows you to very very easily solo all but the most endgame of content for significant gear upgrades, and both rdm and nin can use naegling, both of which are amazing solo jobs, really allowing you to gear yourself up to moderate levels.
Complaining about any job other than brd or a main tank having "insane gear requirements" either means you put zero effort into your job, expecting to get into a odyssey T20 boss run with base ambuscade gear not even upgraded, which is the equivalent of back in the day expecting to get into a Sky LS as SAM without having a hauby and hagun, or you found what are called "idiots" that ask for REMA jobs for content that doesn't even remotely require it, such as exp parties.
Some people will always be toxic and idiotic. But that doesn't even REMOTELY speak for the entire community.
Cor is not an afk support job unless you're playing it badly.
WHM is not an afk support job unless you're playing it badly.
Geo is not an afk support job unless you're playing it badly.
BRD is only an afk support job if you're doing out-of-party brd strats or playing it badly. I don't remotely recommend starting with brd though because it's the only job that hard requires multiple ultimate weapons due to being completely and utterly outclassed by a geo or cor otherwise.
If you EVER considered COR an afk support job, that honestly says all I need to know to say that "you put zero effort into your job and then expected to get carried through complete endgame content where your 1k acc ass isn't hitting a single thing because you need a minimum of 1400" is probably true. Even back at 75 it wasn't an afk support job. You were either pulling, or dpsing.
hey a summoner! I play DRG and we used a summoner to super buff the group, I was able to 2 shot the new monsters and average 140k exemplar per hour ( geo cor brd rdm sum drg ) Also flaming crush skillchains with savage blade
I left 11 shortly after the last expansion when they dropped console support :(
Geezus I miss it!!
I haven't played since 2008...how do I even get back into it?! I would feel so lost.
I just want a ff11 remaster like wow and D2R
If I had to bet... I would believe that they intend to do this. It may be the very reason that they pulled the phone game entirely as well as kept this community alive for so long with little additions. Why sink funding and developer resources on a project this old? The community is solid still. This only means a sharp rise in revenue on a release of such a project, the hype alone would pull a ton of nostalgic players as well as some new. The biggest trouble I see for them is balancing it with FFXIV and determining _when_ to release such a thing. Given that they have remastered almost every single FF of old now... multiple times... it only seems like natural course for this to happen. Hope is alive.
@@XyphonXero Here’s hoping you’re right.
Are you guys serious 🤔 they are remaking the game?
bro the best thing is seeing the "seek party flags" up and people partying again. I think were gonna get back to partying and probably gonna do new apex in old zones it seems that way playa
Almost tempted in coming back again lol
SE Logic: We'll make leveling super easy....But....We'll just keep adding more levels!
MLs are great. Im struggling to fit anything beside EPing in my play time tho XD
If they take sub jobs up to 99, they need to balance sub jobs that are 'nerfed' like corsair and bard so they can apply 2 buffs. Maybe start at level 50 on.
And I think there was a limit on the total enhancements (songs+rolls) coming from 1 source, but idk. I think it would be cool to see BRD/COR dropping 2 songs + 2 phantom rolls, be the super buffer.
Things I'm looking forward to-
/THF for triple attack and treasure hunter
/DRG for Super Jump - drop all the enmity. WHM/DRG for DS CuragaIV follow with benediction, and instead of being destroyed instantly, Super Jump! Plus all the WS dmg boost traits, might make WAR, DRK, SAM or even RNG think about subbing DRG.
/MNK look, the counterstance ship is ready to sail any day now, either WAR or PLD could pull off /MNK, and Perfect Counter is only lvl 79.. So long as you got a dedicated bard to Minne up your lost defense, its no biggie, right?
/RDM fast cast 3, nuff said.
I'm interested to see what dragoons can get up to with this update. What sub do you think they will benefit most from with more levels? Still sam?
/sam will pretty much always benefit 2-handers the most unless enmity is a concern, in which case you /drg. Seeing as drg doesn't need to /drg, it's pretty much just /sam all the way unless doing really niche strategies and team lineups.
Hasso + STP are just too strong, even with meditate and sekkanoki being kinda unnecessary these days.
Most other jobs have too long of CDs - /thf would be nifty for sata single hits, but if you're not on a thf main, those CDs are horrendous.
/war provides a bunch of stats that most people already have at such high values they're either capped or hit by so many diminishing returns it's just not worth it.
The ones that have the most likeliness of becoming significantly more relevant are /blu, /cor/geo/brd, and then a massive complete overhaul if they make it so sub jobs benefit from merits at subjob level 75.
/drg's obviously already become completely meta for enmity management, and /sam, /drk, /dnc and /war all already had their uses outlined previously.
Mage-wise, /sch is easily taking over now, until much higher levels where we start getting more useful unique spells and abilities from the others. /whm for healing still, and /rdm for spam casting, as usual. Again, similarly to melee, /blu and /geo/cor/brd are becoming more and more useful, though it'll likely be a while before any of them become a standard.
/sch probably benefits the overall most from any sub that isn't called drg. And is arguably even comparable to drg, just in a significantly different way. The post-50 levels were where sch got all of it's amazing utility it was previously missing as a sub, so it's REALLY getting better every threshold level.
Then there's also a couple job specific subs, like pup/mnk, that may or may not end up being stupidly good.
Hey question what font is that
Bruh nobody is going to match the feeling to go to the sky with full level 75 gear ready to battle the Gods to just delevel and come back all naked to Jeuno hahahaha that was so freaking epic.
Mam if I go back I not only have to lvl subs 4o to 99, but then 2100 job points. Overall this makes you lvl all subjobs to 99 and master them.
smn/blm, etc. 99/99 could realistically completely change how the job is played if they actually did a 99/99 subjob cap correctly, adding FULL power of the secondary job, just with the gear selection of the primary job.
I'm talking merits applying at 75, job points applying at 99.
It's unlikely to happen, but it would honestly be a dream come true. Basically allow you to play 2 jobs at the same time, to their full power, with only a few small things here and there determining which one you want as your main.
Personally, I think they SHOULD go that route, and then add a new Maat quest where you can basically unlock a new job that's just the ultimate job, period. reach master level 500 on all 22 jobs, and you can play every job at the same time, at full power, with all abilities and access to all gear.
XI's 20ish years old.
Seeing something like that in 5-10 years, after gradual increases to master level caps, really wouldn't be THAT extreme or outlandish.
You could even make it significantly harder - Require all relics, all mythics, all empyreans, all aeonics, all AF/Relic/Empyrean armor maxed out, all jobs to master level, completion of all main story missions, and then a million exp per level up on the new "ultimate" job.
Like I said... I don't see it happening, but honestly? It would be really neat.
just found your channel a few days ago, you should really rebrand your channel as "lets get into it" you say it in pretty much every video i've watched lol.
in all seriousness though, i'm recently getting back into FFXI after hearing about horizon and havn't played or even paid attention to XI since like 2007, so it's interesting to kind of get the cliff notes by watching some of your videos
I agree it's an exciting time for people who love Final Fantasy - if they've done the content from all of the expansions. They kinda lost me when they pulled the FFXIV model over to XI for this and required completion of certain expansions before you could dig into this stuff. Like I get that you'd have to be level 99 before you could even get into it, but if you look back at any point between Rise of the Zilart and Wings of the Goddess there was never a requirement that you complete any prior expansion, you could just dabble where you pleased provided you could find a way to get to the appropriate level. You want to do the content in order? Have fun. Want to start with Wotg, then bounce to RoZ? Go nuts. The ball was always in the player's court.
I may be making more of this than there really is, but as someone that would be a returning player that hasn't played retail since the level 75 era, once I read that completing the newest expansion was a requirement what it translated to in my head was 'This isn't for you.' Just getting up to speed with the changes between then & now would be pretty daunting, stacking missions on top of that turned me right off. And it's a shame because for a moment there I really was considering trying FFXI out again.
It takes literally less than a week to finish 1 city storyline to rank 10, RoZ, CoP, ToAU, WotG and SoA to the points needed for RoV, if not IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
If you're turned off by literally 1 week of legitimately good storylines, (FFXI has some of the best stories in the series IMHO), you're definitely looking at the wrong game.
Making a single weapon will likely take longer than finishing all storylines combined. And yeah, I'm being serious about this, because I literally went and did it when RoV came out. It took me less than a week to finish every single mission line in the entire game entirely solo.
If this come out on next gen as part of the 20th I'm getting divorced.
Luckily for your marriage that's super unlikely.
If I didnt have a job mastered, How would that affect your exemplar points? I want to come back and finish my RNG, but not screw over them who want to get the ExeP...
New areas are coming, I can sense thats next.
Master levels have me so confused what’s the purpose ?
Its basically lv130~lv140. while still at lv99. Basically just the first steps of adding more content later on.
get stronger
ML99 SMN/GEO Super Buffer les gooooo
Theres probably going to be the free login in december
So master levels are just more grind. Got it.
I believe it’s the same as job point system because this prepares you for more endgame stuffs. Ffxi is sadly going the same direction as modern gaming. You get stronger for more endgame content and players who want to return will need to do tremendously amount of work to catch up.
What they need to do is increase the exp yield & the grind & the stronger enemies and nerfing those low level apex camps to move players out of them for better exp yield. So they need to make sure each camp only has 2-3 enemies and are spread out so players aren't running between camps between respawns.
They basically gonna need to nerf exemplar points in SoA zones where players are doing the job point farming. Looking at the enemies in promy for the exemplar they yield they probably should make apex bats/frogs only give out 20~45 exemplar points.
I think summoner needs some passive AoE boosts to party members. Something like what trusts have. Garuda=AoE Acc up, Ifrit=AoE Attack up, Carbuncle=Refresh+1
Avatars Favor
Not really, plenty of buffs and will be more over time.
Looks to me like the plan is to make future master level EP requirements huge while boosting the EP gains made from stronger apex mobs. Eventually even long chains of bats won't put a dent into the EP you need. Hey, it worked for *checks notes* every other Final Fantasy game ever made.
You convinced me to get back on. Better get those GMs and easily offended people ready.
What are the chances that there ends up being a complete remaster of FFXI that they have been toying with that they originally considered a phone game but decided to do a full remaster instead? Yeah I know, wishful lol but still.
Like the new haircut.
Realised I've been listening to you for years and never liked or subbed... Crazy. Sorry about that lol. Anyway, I think you should be an official advisor on the board of development for ffxi!
All my Subs are Lv49 and Abyssea is Ancient History.
What’s the Plan now
Five minutes in Escha-Zi'Tah for each sub will get them to 53. Make it 20 minutes each to get to 60 and be good for a year or two.
@@the_exegete • Yeah but then I gotta gear them & actually do the work Leveling Up. Imagine that. Thx for advice tho. That’s definitely where I will go.
@@metalgear- Nah, just get a weapon with sparks and get those levels naked. That's still low enough for trusts to carry you entirely.
Nothing will ever beat the original 75 cap at least when you hit 75 and your limit points it felt like a big accomplishment. We mine as well just bring the level to 1000 now lol. I spent so much time getting my +1 reforged armor for my BLM and now it's worthless lol. I wish they never stopped console support. Without a PC and even with a PC I have tried numerous times to download the game and It never works .someone needs to make a install FFXI for dummies lol.
Took me three years to get my first 75 ha, the struggle was real.
do ppl still hate pup?
ml12 blm now 95 percent solo takin for ever but ffxi he he ya know
Are you currently playing ffxiv?
P sure he does, don't think he covers it on the channel or anything though.
@@ProfessorShnacktime I wish he covers it more. I know he has few videos about FFXIV. I really like his channel and I hope that he start covering XIV more. Endwalker is almost here :).
Master levels is what made me take a hiatus. So much grinding. Too much tbh.
what pisses me off about new master levels you still have people shouting where you can pay to leech. I refuse to do that and I am on asura I want to old school party and grind
This update was way too late just like the 75 lvl cap to lvl 99 cap. Square-Enex did not plan end game. Merit points, job points templar points. It's too chaotic and that why end game sucks.
It is just a Mindless boring grind to ML20.
Master leveling is no different than any other leveling experience, it is what you make it. It can be a ton of fun or as you put it "a mindless boring grind".
Nasomi is dying.. :(
I just checked private server populations and it seems Eden is still strongest (around 500 online generally). Doesn't get close to the top retail servers (15k on asura, 8k on Bahamut etc).
let's also talk about why this game has one of the most toxic playerbase ive seen. looking at you server asura.
No way is ffxi the most toxic player base. Not even by a longshot. Dont mean to down play your bad experience, but it could always be worse. A LOT worse.
Lol, are you drunk? Ffxi has no toxic players.
@@sagepirotess6312 do you play on asura? If not that's why your not seeing the toxic players
@@dragumkirisute1998 I have. Talkative, a little drama, but toxic not really. Go to any non FF mmo and you see toxic.
Everyone in this game has been super nice and helpful to me after I joined a random linkshell. I suggest one of the smaller servers like Bahamut or Odin!
FFXI needs a full overhaul, its just becomeing a game with too many layers thats are the same thing. they just need to redo everything use the FFXIV server & engine, and figure out how to keep it ffxi for the new age.
You can't just plop FFXI gameplay into the FFXIV engine. Why would you want to? FFXIV already exists for that. A FFXI that's about dodging orange circles isn't worth bothering with.
@@the_exegete I think he ment the looks of ff14 but same as old-school ff11 the first day it came out. The original ff11 you grind with people run with people slow struggling yet rewarding.
