I remember starting in FFXI with one of my friends from school. He was a warrior and I was a lowly white mage. Having played for a day or so more than me, my friend was slightly ahead. However, he was still eager for me to group with him as his support healer. Outside the starter town Bastok we progressed through the hillside fighting beastmen until we worked our way all the way to a plateau. We could tell this was a boss area by the finality of the clearing, as well as the guards which we had to fight through. My friend was still confident, "we can do this, just stay with me." Making quick work of the surrounding beastmen, we arrived at what was clearly the boss. A beastman caster decked out in the appropriate attire... And standing with what must have been it's leuitenants. My friend charged in, with me following closely at his back. Heal, heal, heal. We were talking on the phone, so I was a little unnerved by his sudden silence, as I watched his health quickly drop. Suddenly I hear a single sentence over the earpiece,
"You should go."
I paused for a second to process this, as I fully realized that my friend was about to die. Yet he held his post. Swinging away to give me time to do the only thing I could... Run.
The line of beastmen that chased me down the hill was impressive, especially since they had all already respawned during our encounter with their chief. When they caught me, my death was quick.
I still have the original PS2 disc. Every now and again I pop it in to watch the intro video. Always got me teary eyed.
The crafting is good and fun in this game and storyline is awesome!
Garuda was fun but defeating Titan best experience probably. The close calls and team work worth repeating.
FF VII: Ruby Weapon...
The game came to a complete stand still once I encountered this monster. All other objectives ceased and I became obsessed with defeating the beast. I threw my little group against it over and over trying every different makeup of items and spells and combos I could think imagine. When I stopped making progress I would go grind random encounters to gain levels and try again.
I actually stopped playing the damned game for a few weeks because I got burned out fighting that asshole, but I refused to go on with the storyline so long as the Ruby Weapon still lived. I would indulge in taking snowboarding breaks between attempts, but ultimately I would return to the sands.
When i finally managed to beat him, the rest of the game seemed far less important than that accomplishment. He was the first true raid boss I encountered in role playing games. It is a fight I will never forget and I still compare boss fights in today's top mmo's to the difficulty of that fight.
Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.
After searching and searching for the perfect virtual home, I finaally found it with XIV. I played in 1.0 and amazed and so happy with how ARR came together to make it that much better. I've often thought there should be a documentary about what was accomplished with transforming XIV. No game company has done something like this before, and not only that, you go and save the company itself financially. Yoshida you rock, ty for your work, and all the rest of the team! P.S: Please hire me!
I have so many fond memories of my adventures in FFXI, most of them revolving around Valkurm Dunes.
Starting a new job, leveling up solo for the first 10 levels, then running all the way to the Dunes to party. There was something magical about the journey from San d'Oria to Valkurm Dunes. So much excitement and thrill running through La Theine Plateau to reach the dangerous beaches and vast sands of the Dunes.
I miss the days when FFXI was at its peak
it's hard to pick, but I gotta say one of my most memorable moments in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn is from the same day I finally beat Titan Hard Mode. After weeks of trying with premade groups and pugs, me and my friend entered with a couple of guys we got in contact with earlier the same day. After a couple tries, my friend had to leave because of dinner, and I stayed and we kept on wipe'ing. When my friend eventually came back and I told him we were still going on it, he entered through duty finder, got a good group and killed Titan on their first try.....
I did beat Titan with the group a couple of hours later and through the process everyone in the group had gone from strangers to friends, and we kept in touch after that
That is something I really have missed in MMO's the last couple of years. Actually getting to know people through in game activities.
For me if I had to choose my favorite part of FFXIV so far has to be the FFXIII-3 Lighting Returns integration. It was awesome to do some fates with her live in the game with some impressive beasts from that series. With my bard I was able to fight right along side here while telling her of my undying love for her. I would play some of the song buffs that the class uses while typing out my love like I was singing her a melody.
Lol My company mates and I had a good laugh and enjoyed that aspect of the game. The graphics looked impressive, the way she looked was awesome and made it seem like a very natural experience to have her part of the FFXIV universe in the game. Not to mention having the background music from the FFIII series added a depth to the fighting that made it exceptional.
The gear was a plus that we were able to get from that event that made it even sweeter even though it was really only for show and nothing too spectacular. Playing along side of her ingame caused me to go back and play some of the other titles in the series. Especially FFXIII, FFXIII-2 and FFIX. I am very much looking forward to the next 2 releases in the series and honestly FFXIV in its current form is spectacular and should be played by everyone. If you're not in the game you are missing out.
