This is more of a good thing in some eyes

FFXI isn't bad because it has mixed servers, it's bad because many of the JP players are blatant racists against the NA players. So while a lot of NAs are willing to work together regardless of nationality to get shit done, JPs would rather not do anything at all rather than work with the NAs.

Getting anything done with auto-translate is a pain in the ass, and JP ONRY has more to do with practicality than racism. If you know Japanese well, most players are completely willing to party with you. And it's not like there's not enough western players for that to make any difference anyway.

They shouldn't give the MMO's their own number. If they want to use the Final Fantasy franchise, then fine, it's their right, but it makes no sense to give it its own number as if its the same as any of the 1 player linear story-focused RPGs that came before. Having similar characters and themes shouldn't automatically include it in the numbered Final Fantasy series, just like the last one shouldn't have been included.

That's because in Mabi those are the ONLY places the bots can function. They can hunt raccoons and the foxes in north Tir, work on life skills, and spam messages ... that's about it. Every other MMO they can run around dungeons and shit all over the rest of the games games maps due to how the games run. I know some of the GMs in some games such as WoW and a few others (I think L2 was one, but I don't remember. Its been so long) I know will take bribes to let you bot with out interference.

Its not that things suck compared to WoW, its just that everyone else everyone knows plays WoW so they do. WoW actually is a very mediocre game. It is proof that you can ride on pretty much popularity and doing the bare minimum. There are plenty of games that are better examples of an all together better game, but I guess that isn't what matters.

Played XI when there was already nobody playing it. It sucked ass that you have to find people before you can get going. You can't get by on your own at all.

I have no problems no JP players because I can speak the language. Also, the quests kinda eat up a lot of time.

And this game tries to promote anti-hikikomori-ism.

Guild Wars excels at many things and sucks at a few things, but I would hardly call it a prime example.

>> No.2703895

Alot of people bitch about the forced grouping in FFXI, but after playing WoW for some time, I kind of prefer it. By forcing people to group, you are also forcing them to LEARN HOW TO PLAY THEIR FUCKING CLASS. If you haven't played WoW, you probably have no idea how many people get to the level cap without the slightest clue what to do in a group or raid. And level 80 is NOT the time to start learning.

JP parties dislike NA players because many NA players are complete retards, don't know how to SC/moderate hate, and usually are gimped. Basically, shitty players.

I never got kicked from JP parties and they were always friendly to me, even one where I didn't know how the fuck to get to the camp for like 10 minutes since it was a new zone for me. And I was using the least desirable job: THF/NIN. I don't blame them at all: I have always had flawless parties with JP players but had a ton of terrible NA parties.
