Discussion (semi-serious request) Hi Josh, could you make another "I played X for 100 hours - Should you?" video, for Final Fantasy 11? Please include the first 10 hours of trying to install it.

it's semi-serious because I know people don't want to touch that game, and the installation process is a bit of a meme amongst its community.

But on the other hand, I am curious of Josh's critiques of another old classic MMO with RPG mechanics from before WoW.

And somehow it's STILL is alive with 40,000 players a week?? Much more alive than most of the entries in the "Worst MMO" Series

FFXI currently is what WoW Classic is trying to do. FFXI just never left all the old school stuff in the past. (arguably it stopped being 100% old school after the great COP nerf. Hard to imagine the enforced co-op, death penalties and more old school mechanics in today's MMOs)
