-now with pictures!-

I was such a hardcore FF fan by 2002, I just had to pick up the giant FF11 bundle that came with a Ps2 hard drive with an ethernet port (which is still on my Ps2 to this day). Yup, I played this for like 6 months when it first came out, and haven't played it since, so this ranking is based on that.

I understand that FF11 has improved significantly in the last 20 years, and honestly, I'm considering going back and giving it another try. It's super impressive that this game is still going. And I hear the main story is pretty good too.

But back in 2002, I just remember this game being SO. HARD. FF14 has spoiled us lol.

Like, every encounter was life or death, because if you mess up and die even once, it's Level Down. And it took FOREVER to level back up.

And finding a party took forever too. 20+ minutes of just sitting around in the Valkurm Dunes hoping a White Mage pops up.

But when you finally got a good party, and everyone was playing to their full potential... nothing else like it. I remember we had to kite some of the stronger enemies back and forth. Just little tricks like that. It was great. I was in a cool linkshell. I got good at fishing and was selling stuff at the auction house.

Good times.

8.4/10 for now. It'll probably go higher when I eventually go back and revisit it.
