    Default FFXI ----> FFXII

    Ok, so I can't be the only FFXI player doing this sorta stuff.

    The first time Vaan died while leveling, my first thought was, "crap! Someone raise me!" And especially in the beginning whenever the monsters would link, I would hope someone would come by and grab the link. And it always takes me a moment to realize I'm all alone.

    And man, I really miss auto-run!

    Oh and sometimes when I accidently move my character around while they're casting a spell, I think, "Oops. I hope I didn't interrupt the spell!" And then it's like, ohwaitno. xD

    first of all the thread name to name many things.


    I dont want to be hearing variations of Anti-Fandom from the FFXII fans. who have just happened to have played FFXI and hated it.

    Eh. I don't really know what most of you are talking about. It must be an FFXI thing.

    I miss auto-run.

    Sometimes on FFXI, i'd stick myself on auto-run, in the Dunes or through the Konschtat Highlands and go down stairs and make food or something. I keep trying to do it on FFXII before realising is doesnt work.

    wtf? This thread (by my understanding) was about carrying over FFXI habits into FFXII. What are we not getting along about?


    Anyway, I did have some of those issues. I found msyelf mostly being afraid of interupting casting by moving. I have the feeling after playing FFXII hardcore for a while longer I'm gonna have the same habits going back to FFXI. I've made a point of making myself run while casting and when I go back to FFXI I think I'll probably run my castings off out of habit ><

    You guys are overhyping auto run. Tilting the control stick takes much less effort than navigating those damn number keys.

    I've found myself standing still when casting a spell, and when I pick up items I always want to go sort them so that I don't run out of space.

    Tsukasa, you are completely misunderstanding this thread. Miriel is a big fan of FFXI. She is remarking on the similarities between the games and how that would cause FFXI players to act like they were in that game when playing FFXII.

    I always want to Mazurka or Flee through longer zones. I miss sneak and invis and also always want to lullaby mobs when I get a lot of links.

    When i get agro, i instantly look for a zone point. But FFXII, you can out-run them if the area is big enough, they'll give up the chase. FFXI , they hound you forever.

Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    I do not agree. I find I have heaps more control with the numpad than a controller. Not to mention an easier and more efficient access to the rest of the keys.

    And Tsukasa, I don't know what the hell you are on about.
