ffxi ranked. okay I technically played it awhile ago and was hoping to get through everything, but I've fallen back into the FFXIV field ops grind and so it's gonna be awhile. so here it is, ranked through what I've played already. FFXI is real good.

xiii-2 complete. didn't really like this one that much. - combats are smoother than 13 but everything else is a mechanical downgrade to me. i hate the new crystarium it sucks!!! - not the qtes noooo take me back i hate the early 2010s!!!!!

quick note before we start: both mmos are really hard to rank. the era you played them in matters so much; it's why XIV is ranked highly despite disliking the plot of half its expacs. don't think too hard about the mmo rankings. is xiv better than fft? probably not. but i've played it since 2.0 so.

- it is actually incredible how much playing this still feels like a final fantasy game. despite this, they were still right to switch to tab-target hotbar combat in xiv. ffxi's menus are very neat, but macros invalidate all of that anyways so you're just doing hotbars with extra steps.

- the ui is a trainwreck but its a game from 2003 that also released on the playstation 2 so it's forgiven. - the tutorialization is a trainwreck, and this is less forgiven. this game is SO confusing. that said i got back into destiny 2 again recently, and its still better tutorialized than that, so

- wow players will probably be like 'this is normal' but the fact that all the different classes feel unique is such a breath of fresh air coming from xiv. i mainly played corsair and its really fun to do stuff nobody else in your party can do!
