I played this game for many many years. From US launch until I (more or less) quit before the final true expansion came out. I came back for a short run after it came out but they changed so much... I was one of the few that had a tidal talisman, I still have the physical item too! I was not too fond of pet jobs until I played Puppetmaster; it was a great job and I enjoyed it until some error occurred and wiped out all my macros. The job was very macro-heavy, and losing them wiped out my motivation to continue. White mage was very skilled at hammers but the main reason you didn't have them in the front line was enemy TP gain, the same was true for all mage jobs.

That's awesome about the tidal charm, it was indeed a rare body armor to see people have on, the warp on it was nice too! Pup was definitely a job that had huge potential and was pretty unique. White Mage Hexa Strike was always awesome to see!

I lost to 6-4 probably like 10 times. I finally was able to get through it once I had ninja sub for my dragoon. That was one of the big accomplishments back in the day that set apart people that could play, and people that couldn't. Which job did you do it as??

we had this on ps2 shortly after its launch and it changed our lives, we always loved FF but the challenge and community of early on FFXI was something special. To the effect that almost any MMO i play falls short cause it cant compete with my first MMO love FFXI.

Dragoon was so interesting in this game. If you could keep your wyvern alive, it can do so much. It was a pretty versatile job for a 2 handed DD

The uniqueness of the jobs in this game was crazy, a shame lots of MMO classes nowadays are homogenized

@@danieldilorenzo4509 yeah, especially with the sub job system. DD had so many options for various content. Nin, Sam, drg, war. Healers had any of the other mage jobs as subs and could change your roles. Like rdm for example could sub nin, whm, blm, smn, blu, drk. And each sub made a different impact. Such a complex system when you get deep into it.

Thief was totally hard mode! But the payoff in the end was huge! The only job with TH4, in a game with such low drop rates was so important! It also had a good spot in low man content with it's High Evasion skill!

@@MHuxel45 chrono trigger may be the best rpg on the ones. Which is arguably the best rpg console of all time, the only one that competes with it is Playstation. It's the epitome of the generation, and genre. M64 is a perfect time capsule I agree. I just think Megamall legends gets lost between these two other stellar titles.
