Title: FFXI To Semi-Sundown Post by: luckton on March 19, 2015, 08:24:41 AM Didn't feel like digging up the dead horse.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-03-19-ps2-and-xbox-360-versions-of-final-fantasy-11-come-to-an-end-march-2016 tl;dr: One more three-part scenario between now and March '16, console access gets shut down and PC access gets bug fixes and balances updates until people just stop playing.

I always look back fondly even dismissing the ballshattering grind and forced groups to level and all that. Loved that world, the classes, the synergy between classes, the interdependency of weapon skills, and the elemental wheel. The game was deeper than anything I have played since - probably too much so, but still... Can't say i kept up with it, but like an old favorite actor I used to enjoy, still sad to see its passing.
