How long has Limbus been out now? Almost two years?

How much time do they need.

They're advertising food in Tokyo...and eating it in front of us. :(

...and Cooking crafters haven't had a new food recipe in ...6 years? (and it was Repasts, so really...we're talking like 10 years?)

We’re going to get rid of the 14 day limit. NO TIME LIMIT ON THE TRIAL. And change the limit to level 75. The areas are limited like normal, but you’ll be able to play forever at level 75 on the trial in the OG zones.


So they are effectively making perma 75 cap play f2p?

F2p with a 75 cap is actually amazing imo. I'm going to make a 75 BRD character and it'll be better than Joachim and Ulmia combined because it'll just give me two goddamned marches.

Jk, I'll never have the time, but a man can dream!

so we’re unable to add in new zones because we’ve used all the IDs available. HOWEVER there are hidden areas that have the IDs used but we thought “well, can’t we just use those and make new areas?” and from all the people who would do that, it SEEMS LIKE WE’LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT
<NEW AREAS EVENTUALLY (probably!!)>

If, in the process of removing those unused areas that are just taking up space, we get some openings we can use, then we’re planning on making new zones.

I'm 100% buying four discounted ffxi copies and making a bunch of free alts, though. I can get them through all of the missions and the vast majority of game content for free before I have to decide if I want to pay for them monthly or not. If I don't end up using them and never find the time to do that content (as predicted), I'm only out like $20.

You can't really go anywhere on a trial char

Pretty much anything a 75 thumper would want to do is offlimits

RIP Private servers.

Best part of the whole thing, why have they not done this before now.

Incredibly limited and most servers feature a very empty AH without much gear for them to buy. Miserable facsimile.

All the lvl 99 and under gear you want are available for free* via the NPC, private server stan.

Try again.

* Some token sparks cost.

Good enough to level. Not good enough to use.

Trial can only hold 100k so its not like they could buy a damn thing anyway (and not allowed to use AH)

most brainless take.

removing all balance changes
remvoing all trial restrictions
reverting HNMs
reverting limbus
reverting dynamis
reverting salvage


nobody is going to quit a private server to play 75 trial. please try to use your head.

It's pretty miserable as a retail player who started a fresh character to share the game with a new player as is. After 50, you're to just roll in AF for dozens of levels. Accessories and more aren't available unless they're NQs from RoEs.

New player doesn't learn about gear swapping until way too late.

It makes the game look deader than it is to a new player.

Now imagine it worse for a free trial character.

The game is $10 for a copy and 30 days many times a year. I don't know why they bother with the free trial at all.

"Nobody"

Except for the not insignificant amount of people who play on pirate servers because it's free.

The fact is, more new players will now try out actual FFXI rather than feel compelled to dip in to the RMT dramatorama hellscapes that are pirate servers. That's a good thing.

sorry buddy, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. there are far too many trial restrictions for even leveling to 75 to feel enjoyable.

not to mention most of these areas are an absolute ghost town. increasing it from 50 to 75 is not going to move the needle. you are incredibly dumb if you think so. or you are giving the 75 cap "experience" far more credit than it's due.

can you imagine the comms? "Hey guys we need someone to buy the game and pay the monthly sub so that we can actually form a party and pop fafnir"

I can't see this posing any threat to private servers. The free trial limits all interaction with the economy and tons of other things. Even if the private server poors don't want to pay, SE has to at least make the game playable to get them back.

I don't really get further courting people who can't be bothered to come up with the $10 for a copy of the game and 30 days. Does that sound like a probable recurring customer for a sub fee that's a few dollars more?
