SquareEnix Announces Final Fantasy XI Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition

For those who were thinking about joining the online ranks when Final Fantasy XI first came out, may have another chance with this Abyssea Edition that includes all the released expansions from Rise of the Zilart to the recently released Wings of the Goddess.

Good luck leveling from 1-75 lol no one parties anymore that lv its abyssea only.

PS360WII4752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

The expansions really did kill off the any sort of help for newbies :(

Started with the very first one >< though even before that people got tunnel vision on where to level... stupid dunes -.-

DistrictMime4752d ago

I got tired of waiting for parties. I only got to lvl 30 and quit. Rather play WoW with their easy PUGs

PS360WII4752d ago

That's why XIV has a little more help on the solo front.

Trying to exp as a Bard without anyone else was a futile project. I was only 9k from Ballad II (sigh)

Dno4752d ago

yea i no cause they completely doubled the xp from mobs outside of abyssea and added level sync and those books where they almost give u free xp... wow sooo hard....

JAMurida4752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

I heard that Abyssea add on pretty much killed the need to do any of the previous end game stuff (Nyzlue Asle, Campaign, Ejnihar (spelling?,lol), Dyna, etc... That was the reason that game had such a GOOD endgame too is having all that stuff to do and now all you do is Abyssea from what I hear now.

Edit: I'm sure increasing the level cap killed those previous endgame events as well.

Dno4752d ago (Edited 4752d ago )

FF11 is the best NOW then it has ever been by far. i been playing for 6 years btw

DistrictMime4752d ago

I have a couple of friends who are still playing it and I'm kinda jealous of their ongoing commitment to that game. *sigh*

JAMurida4752d ago

Yeah, sucks I gave all my stuff away, (except the EX items of course), and deleted my toon. Even if I could go back I wouldn't. Would feel..... depressing I guess? Maybe that's because all my friends quit the game when I did.

V3rsatile4752d ago

Is this only for the PC version? I'd get it if it was for the 360 as well.

Jackhass2995d ago

I never did end up beating that damn Kaiser Dragon.

DarkOcelet2995d ago

I cant wait to see the dragons we will fight in FFXV. I hope the fights are tough as nails.

AdventNick2995d ago

Ruby is tough no doubt, but a whole lot easier if you go in with one party member

Dasteru2995d ago

For those that truly understand the game mechanics and take advantage of them. Omega weapon will only actually have around 182k health.

Prishe & Ulmia to be Added to Final Fantasy XI’s Trust System in Next Update

Final Fantasy XI‘s Trust Initiative has been a revolutionary addition to the game. By allowing players to form small parties comprised of only themselves and a couple of NPCs, the leveling process has been eased in the wake of departing players.

Prishe and Ulmia – two NPCS from the game’s second expansion, 2004′s Chains of Promathia – will be added to the system next, nearly 10 years after their initial appearance. Square Enix has promised a full “platoon” of alter egos to follow.

Wish they had this back when I was playing years ago.

TransientDreamer3745d ago

Agreed. However, it's a welcome addition seeing as how Abyssea made EXP parties go bye-bye.

Ngai3745d ago

Prishe <3 here's still hope for an action figure.

thejigisup3745d ago

Wow ffxi...didn't know people still played

TransientDreamer3745d ago

Still plenty of people playing, along with plenty of active servers.

Milruka3745d ago

"plenty"

Last time I checked some of the servers were as little as 70 active players and a average of 500-1200 players active.

thejigisup3745d ago

after this long, im still impessed

Geeks of Rage : Episode 40

Sometimes you need a little break. Like a weekend in Atlanta. Or 22/24 hours a day in an MMORPG. Or a 6-month-long backwards jaunt towards the roots of a game franchise. We finally managed to pry ourselves from the things we love though, and we recorded another show instead. It’s a worthwhile session too, complete with insinuated rape, killer nuns from the fifth dimension, and fake thugs eating Chick-fil-a out of Rolls Royces. We do not play on this show.
