Following several attempts to get into the game when it was first launched in 2004 and later, around 2006, I finally began seriously playing Final Fantasy XI about a week ago after beating Blue Dragon. I’m on the Alexander server and have been building my character as a Black Mage. So far, I’ve soloed on my own in the Windurst area and I’m about to hit Level 19. It’s time to get into some plot but I wanted my character to be strong enough to enjoy myself when playing. Aaron’s been playing, too, and we sometimes level up together.
I realize the game is getting older, but there are still 500,000 registered players and 2,000,000+ registered characters. It’s actually gotten me really excited about Final Fantasy XIV, which is also going to be an online, as well. It’s going to be a nice distraction when I need to take a 30 minute break from the company in the middle of the day.
