Final Fantasy XI : How Difficulty Built a Community - Design Documentary

This is just as much of a "Thank You" for 1,000 subs as it is a Design Documentary. You have been warned.

PATREON DRIVE! (more info here!)    • Видео  

In this episode, SoberDwarf talks about the game that has consumed over 4,000 hours (185 days) of his life. What was it about Final Fantasy XI that made it so endearing even after 15 years? What is it about difficulty that brought people together? And how has it changed now? All these questions answered, and more.

Also, I miss annotations.

You can download a few of the songs I used (and some I didn't) from Tweex's FFXI tribute soundtrack: http://landofvanadiel.com/lov/music/
