Square Enix considered ending Final Fantasy 11 in 2024, but player interest was high enough to keep it alive even after 20+ years

  • It runs pretty well and everything and I think will scratch the itch.

    It’s just a very jarring throwback to the times.

    The game was more built around being ran with a controller, so mouse and keyboard is a little janky - I pretty much solely use a keyboard.

    Map/travel is very old school. Alt tabbing for maps/routes, boats, etc.

    Making a player level to 20, and then immediately starting over to level again for a sub job is an incredibly sadistic thing to ask from an MMO.

    I could go on. But it regularly sees 2k+ players online so there must be some subset of people that enjoy it.

  • I’m kind of surprised to see its name. Was fairly widespread back in angular/backbone days – I kind of assumed all the useful stuff from it got adopted natively as I haven’t really heard any frontend teams I’ve worked with over the recent years mention it.
