Lilith has this episode so Kristen and Pan decided to just sit back and chat about their experiences playing Final Fantasy XI. We have extremely fond memories of what, in all honesty, was a pretty unfriendly and grindy game. The game seemingly wore us down and remade us to cherish it’s difficult moments and obtuse systems and we spend the majority of our the episode just reflecting back on them. There’s a lot of common elements between XIV and XI too, and we touch on several those, and all the ways XIV has both grown from XI and really changed the experience for players too.
