I dabbled a bit in FF11 as a kid - I was in school and hardly old enough to be communicating online when I dove into the game’s first expansion. Related: I’m Bored Of My Animal Crossing Villagers And I Feel Horrible It’s true, I could easily subscribe to FF11 now and play through nearly 20 years of content, but I already dedicate so much of my time to FF14 - I just can’t do it.
