  In addition to the community-aspects others have noted, the combat system is a bit slower-paced and extremely strategic. The jobs(classes) are all extremely unique and the sub-job system allows you to play them differently as needed. You can switch jobs on one character so you really grow attached to your specific character rather than making different characters for different classes.

  You can swap-gear mid combat which gives you a lot of situational flexibility that makes it feel like you’re actively contributing to your success or failure. As an example you might have a set of great for a specific ability, or switch to defensive gear if you draw the enemy’s attention.

  Additionally, the story is really nuanced and the side-characters are often very realistic in their choices, motivations, and there is a sense of consistency throughout the world that really makes it feel “lived-in” in a way a lot of other MMOs don’t bother with.

  Honestly I could go on and on. It’s just a really special world and will stick with me for life. Even a few years out from playing I still get the itch to go back constantly. Vana’diel is like a second home for me.

  FFXI ruined all other MMORPGs for me, because there is nothing like it and probably never will be again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you put the most hours into?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Final Fantasy XI and it’s not even close.

  Or “da kine” in Hawaiian pidgin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On a lighter note: Why do people still buy fast food?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, McDonald’s is an insane ripoff. At Taco Bell I cam get veggie cravings box for $5.99 - that’s a Black Bean Crunchwrap Supreme, Bean and Cheese Burrito, Fiesta Potatoes, and a drink. It’s like 1500 calories for $6 and takes 5 minutes to get. We get it every couple of weeks when we’re just feeling super lazy and don’t feel like cooking, and we can make two meals out of it.

  I used to put a piece of tape that said “Sherlock” above the “Holmes” logo on a fan at a previous job, and my boss threatened to fire me for defacing work equipment and wasting materials.

  This was the Coeur d’Alene Resort in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Fuck that place.

  But, by that logic, 2003 is the 4th year of the millennium.

  I live in a state on the lower-wage side of states in the country.

  Fast food places here are advertising $22+ an hour to try to attract talent. Corporations are such fucking liars.

  Greed

  Gneiss!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife, whose entire history with video games is Sims 3, Animal Crossing: NH, and Pokémon Go, played through this game start to finish and loved it. It wasn’t really made for “gamers”, it was made for Harry Potter fans that wanted to play a Hogwarts game.

  Personally, I love that she got into it whether it’s mid or not, because it introduced her to a lot of the mechanics necessary to play “real” games in the future. And she had a lot of fun.

  Actually, the last truly new content for FFXI ended in May of last year, but it’s still pretty impressive!
