He has been going through each numbered FF game and didn't skip XI just because it's an online game. Seems he really liked it.

Just watched it myself. I appreciate how he discusses both the good and bad of all of the Final Fantasy games, including this one. And while I felt like he was a little harsh at times, it still felt reasonably fair.

Kinda wish he would have gone a bit more into the storylines and characters. But I guess more than any other game, it really needed describing.

I appreciate as well how he brought up the excellent job system and the feeling of earning your rewards.

Guess the main reason he didn't go all the way on story is how long it takes to do all of them on a 75 era server like Eden. Guess he should've played retail to fast track through it with trusts.

Unfortunately he did some/most of that on a private server. It heavily skews the play/view/feefees.

This, you posted while I was posting etc.

It's an accurate sum up. Especially about punishing and being a masochist. Everything slow, and excessive. and the 30 second retail summary.

No, this is the Subway Jared. The one that started Jared's Jewelry chain.

There was some drama-torama about this at one point, but it ended up being false accusations from someone or something similar. Whatever PR firm he used for damage control should receive an award.

Anyhoo, hearing a reviewer talk about XI is nice enough, I suppose. Even if he is a filthy casuaul and not a lifer. Most Final Fantasy series retrospectives that I know of kind of skip over FFXI (or havn't even made it to 11 yet). I'm just glad ProJared's audience is older people. It would be a shame if it was some popular internet celebrity and they enticed youngsters to invade our lovely Vanadiel with a glowing review with all their lit swag sus dab YOLO (or whatever kids these days say on Fortnite).

I wonder how many people this is going to get to try the game. If you look at the comments of the video, a lot of people say stuff like "XI is the only one I've never played" or "I thought it was abandoned long ago".

The fact that Jared used the term "inaccessible" isn't necessarily wrong, but might have been the tipping point for a lot of potential players from ever trying it.

Retail; zero

Private; a few

Inaccessible?; accurate

Absolutely not something a person should even consider starting. You wouldn't recommend anyone start smoking crack after all. Except for the people that played a lot of 1-10 and want to see strictly the 11 story.

Coming at it from the view of how it was 20 years ago made everything sound like a major turn-off. It makes me realize how much of this game I was playing because of the friends I made.

I was as much logging in to play the game as I was to get into the linkshell/chat.

It was a miserable game built for the masochists. (on purpose)

It was all about BALANCE back then. Speaking of... did anyone else ever play 'Final Fantasy: Legend of Balance'? It was quite enjoyable.

nah, only cheated on his (pregnant?) wife with some rainbow haired freakshow from the bowels on Tumblr and treated her like complete dogshit in the process. It's been like 3 years so I don't remember exactly what happened.

I still respectfully disagree with this sentiment. Especially in the modern game, it's fairly easy to just take it casually.

It has hurdles, but once you've cleared those it's an enjoyable story with a fantastic world and an actual feeling of adventure. Not everyone needs to rush to Lv.99 and grind out a Tizona 119-III.

Check out the guns on Sailor Mercury.

Edit: Oh. Sorry. I guess I'm gonna be cancelled if I body-shame a cross-dresser. #2021

The people who approach FFXI like another "FF game I HAVE To beat or else I'm a poser" are *** mental and a waste of time.

False, you bought into the narrative.

Not all black men with beards are Mr. T. Do they all look alike to you?" Cancel Shichishito!

ProJared has thoroughly investigated ProJared and found ProJared 100% not guilty.

When I read this I had this visual image of you as a 80 year old lady in a room with 4 other 80 year old ladies gossiping over some dudes personal life from down town.
