    Hey everyone!

    How many of you guys started in Final Fantasy XI and made the switch to Final Fantasy XIV? I was curious if their first MMO brought a lot of players to their next one. I'm fairly certain that XIV drew enough people in by itself, but I'm still interested in how most of you got there.

    What say you? Did you immigrate from Vanadiel to Eorzea, or are you a native?

    I never played Final Fantasy XI, and started straight with XIV. I've always wanted to play XI, so maybe one day I'll finally try it out.

    Most of my friends started out with Final Fantasy XI but I was a little late to the party so I started straight up with XIV. I don't really want to play XI just for the sake of it.

    I haven't played XI and I went straight to XIV. My main problem with XI is that it's pretty old at this point and the mechanics seem outdated. I tried XIV because I love Final Fantasy, and I was looking for a good mmo.

    I can definitely say that you cannot really compare FF XI to XIV. XIV is extremely well designed, user friendly and generally a ton of fun to play, while XI was, lets just say, very lacking imho.

    I started with FFXIV. I started playing it because that's what my husband was playing and I really enjoyed the group of people that were in his Free Company. This was way back before 2.0 even came out. I started playing and got hooked on it. I've watched my husband play pretty much every other Final Fantasy game ever made, and he talks about XI once in awhile but he definitely seems happier with what FFXIV has become.

    I started playing FFXIV. My hubby had played FFXI and was telling me fun stories about it. I wanted to try FFXI, which I was able to (after playing FFXIV) but there was not a lot of people in the beginning areas and the game is a bit hard doing stuff alone.

    I tried FFXI eons ago and it wasn't to my liking, so I quit pretty early on and never looked back. FFXIV when it first released had a ton of issues so I quit early on as well. Now with Reborn- I'm going to give it a shot because I heard a lot of good things about it but have been hesitant in joining because of my early experiences with FFXI and FFXIV.

    I was late to the party too, and I remember feeling completely lost there for a little bit. I have made the rounds since then though, and am pretty comfortable now.

    Same here, I think FFXIV is better because of how it was done than the rest of the versions.
