I’ve been playing through all the numbered games and its been great. I could write an essay or two on any of them. In general I’m only including base games and no expansions or DLC so it wouldn’t be a huge undertaking to beat 11, but I’m trying to see if it’s worth it from others who have done the marathon.

I was already a XIV player before I started this so that base game has been covered for awhile now.

    XIV’s story is insanely good though but I guess we’re not counting DLCs here (although the first 2 expansions are free now)

      The story being told is good but the gameplay is eeeurgh. Endless boring ass fetch quests punctuated by pretty cool dungeons.

      Granted that’s just the early msq. I enjoy the game and have several 90 combat classes, but it really was a slog to start.

          True, though the further you get, the more things you unlock and can do to distract you from how boring the endless fetch quests are.

          I spent an entire weekend farming and crafting to furnish my apartment.
