I've been playing through all the numbered games and its been great. I could write an essay or two on any of them. In general I'm only including base games and no expansions or DLC so it wouldn't be a huge undertaking to beat 11, but I'm trying to see if it's worth it from others who have done the marathon.

I was already a XIV player before I started this so that base game has been covered for awhile now.

Thanks for the details! I might try to beat the Shadow Lord and then see how I feel about continuing.

You must be clinically insane to start XI in today's time

Just watch a couple of cinematics

It still has a decent population and it is a numbered Final Fantasy game, I don't think it's too crazy to consider (I will probably skip it though)

It has a die hard fanbase indeed. And has gone through a few facelifts to make it soloable.

But as someone who played xi back in the Day, it has not aged well. Neither the graphics or the game systems.
