LOMCN HQ with Tai, eating bagels.
Is anyone playing? Or has anyone played previously and have any reviews/thoughts about it?
I'm looking for something to play in my SPARE time - so Mir is off the table.
Also, still not a big fan of consoles - unless it's a PS2, and I'm playing FF. So thought I'd give the online version a try.
FF14 is pretty damn good MMO, it's different to how other MMO's work, same concept but there's usually just one giant fk-off boss you need to take down rather than a concession of smaller ones i.e WoW raids.
Used to play it eons ago but never got back into it. Music is naturally smashing as Nobuo Uematsu has done almost all of it, gameplay is mostly casual fun and can eventually be challenging if you decide to get into that side of things.
I loved it, played for quite a long time.
Stopped playing because it just got a bit too repetativepersonally, but defo worth a go if you haven't played yet.
Excellent - thank you very much for your responses guys - I'm just looking for a nostalgic casual fun hobby to keep me busy over the next few weeks/months.
Actually i think i stopped when they closed the game down the first time. (they said they werent too happy with it yet) And i just never went back when it came back up.
Might have to give it another go at some point.
Same as I did, went back to it after age of conan and its much improved.
One thing i found a bit annoying was the world boss loot distribution.
I remember trying to get the Ifrit(?) weapon for months, killing it daily. But like BDO it gave 1 of the random 20(?) people in the group the drop. Or let everyone roll on it.
Not sure if it's still like that tho.But was rather irritating.
Got it downloaded and doing the free trial on a laptop to see if it’s any good and enjoying it so far.
It’s mechanics are very similar to LOTRO and Albion so far.
Enjoyable little time sink I think.
If you enjoy it and get into it, may just start again and join you tbh. Need a bit of spare-time gaming MMO that's not WoW or Mir, and Overwatch is just too frustrating to play for a short duration.
We’re so used to making Mir sound new everything some chump brings a server out.
I’m on Omega (World/Server) - if anyone wants to start/continue/reconnect.
I was tempted not too long ago, as my brother brought up the idea again (we used to play it together) I just don't want to get into such a grindy game atm.
That's just me tho, I could never be satisfied just leveling something, I had to do all the jobs etc too, and the crafting took an eternity to level. I just can't help myself, it has to be all or nothing!
