actually dying in ffxi really wasnt that bad because there was RAISE III which you would lose no exp at low to mid levels and even at 75 you only lost around 200 exp. I remember when i played ffxi at level 75 no one would care about death because they would be getting raise III and 200 exp was not much.Originally posted by frostydf2@Apr 8 2006, 06:04 PM
Go play FFXI, and tell me if losing EXP is ok. You'll punch a wall if you die at level 20 becuase you just realized you lost the last 3 hours of work you put into the game.
i would agree that there should be a penalty severe enough to make people more cautious about death, but losing your equipment seems pretty harsh, esp if you spent a long time trying to get something extremely rare
