Flyff will always be my nostalgic flying MMO. It was also my first MMORPG-I played from V4 to V9 and on a lot of private servers. I joined Flyff Universe during its first few months and had an amazing time with so many people playing. Managed to max upgrade my level 75 items without spending anything, then quit. I ended up selling all my stuff (which probably wasn’t legal, lol) but made $3k after just a month or two of playing.

[@cazimim3375]

3K dollars ?

Thank you for making the video. I hope some does more videos on the community. Flyff seems to house a fascinating little niche community that I think deserves to be explored more. I am falling in love with the game all over again despite the major flaws you pointed out. Just goes to show a strong community can make just about anything work!

[@Wutlatte.]

I started playing Flyff in 2006. Switched to Fly for fame, revival of silence and eventually insanity Flyff which I played for some years until dropping the game for good. Yesterday I was thinking about the game and just tried out universe. The soundtracks and the slow grind reminded me of the good old times (yea I know...). In 2006 I played with 6 friends and my brother which was a blast. Starting up the pc after school, starting a conference call (and being yelled at because we did not have a telephone flatrate) and just deep diving into the game eventually ending up with a ringmaster, a bow jester and an elementor. It just was an endless time sink. Ending up at level 16 today I really had to get used to the slow progress again. In insanity flyff I'd have a new chatacter leveled to 300 within the same amount of time. I am hoping my brother will join me playing universe. It's quite boring to play alone but I really want to give it another shot.

[@m3lodeth]

Greeat video! Flyff is such a nostalgic mmo. It's sad to see the game still caters to old type of mmo gamers where they basically have to grind mindlessly for days just to get to the good part of the game.

[@acegaming47]

well thats part of the grind unlike current mmos that auto attacks and auto farm XD

I still play Flyff Universe, but just to look at it and look pretty while fighting stuff. It's a great game. However, it lacks content once the player reaches a certain level or max level.

[@Memyx]

You get so much respect from me for mentioning the LT OST. 😤 I did come back to Universe for a while. Got a Jester to 75, as well as a few other jobs to 60+. The thing that bothers me the most is that the game expects you to have a Ringmaster present at all times if you want to get anything done at a normal/fast pace. And even then, unless you're blowing massive amounts of penya (or real life Cash) on your equipment, you're gonna have a bad time, especially if you want to play a squishy DPS class optimally. The devs had such a huge opportunity to do what has never been done before and actually regularly balance the classes out with patches, but instead stopped halfway with the idea and went back to just letting armor set effects do the job. Meaning class balance is locked behind the higher levels. Again. CLASS BALANCE is a high-level feature. 😬 And then, for some classes, builds are super limited. Jester, for example, can only do 1v1 Auto Attack crit build. Skill spam was almost a thing, but the damage is laughable after a certain point, and AoE was almost a thing, but the Jester AoE is practically unusable and extremely clunky, and there's no sign that they're ever gonna fix it.

My childhood game, I have a friend who I met ingame and we used to play this a lot... We were in touch even when I wasn't active anymore, and just out of nowhere he disappeared and found out years later that he died :/ but yeah, i remember this is very "pay to win game" unless you're just really good at playing lol, which I'm not, I sucked. I still miss playing it, I kind of want to play it now haha

[@masalaman8503]

Best game ever. Still playing after 2 months

[@tamir0s]

The game is fun at the beginning, the grind is fun. But when you get to the higher lvls you understand that it's a shit P2W like it always been. You have absolutely no access to cash shop items in game, and cash shop items are basically everything you need in an mmo game, upgrades, etc.. its not focused only on quality of life, cash shop includes basically everything. So basically getting an +10 set can cost you around 300$. I would recommend it to those who want to chill for the nostalgia but not for those who wants to actually grind, its an unfair, unhealthy grind game. I used to be a fan of Universe before it got released, but when it got released I realised its the same p2w as the old flyff. Many also quit. GALA killed their own game twice. If you really want to start and spend cash dont upgrade, just buy upgraded items from players. Gl

[@bernardoandreia3926]

It's sad to hear that, I had started playing yesterday with a friend, we liked it because it's super easy to access without having to download the game and we can even play on our cell phone, is there any other good Flyff that isn't pay to win that you would recommend? Maybe some private one... thanks

[@tamir0s]

@@bernardoandreia3926 eh.. most pservers are kinda not that popular. I know about ghost flyff but not more. You can still play universe with your friend and have fun as f2p. I just started and wanted to pay, but rates are too low and its just milking your money. So if you want to play as f2p for the chill, do it. If you want to pay money better pay for upgradeed stuff (don't upgrade yourself cause its just not worth it)

I've been playing flyff since 2006. I've taken a break here and there since then. I've been back in the game playing Flyff Universe. By far I would say the best flyff I've ever played. For once Gala finally tries to listen and constantly improve the game.

[@painnmisery2582]

it was my favorite in the beginning. everyone leveling together and socializing. then the major flaw of official flyff reared its head. the extremely predatory CS which theyve done nothing if not make worse than its ever been driving the playerbase away. and the bots, usually not to much of an issue imo but with how flyff combat is they really mess with you. shame cause it was really the most fun ive had in mmos, maybe even games in general, in probably the last 10 years.

[@iferv]

@@painnmisery2582 I think you would definetly enjoy flyff universe then. It's nothing like the old eFlyff. They've addressed the issue with us having to heavily relly on CS just to do damage. It's more grind driven. I know a bunch of people that were able to gear up their characters just from farming but of course they spent a ton of time doing so. But by far Flyff U is way better than the original flyff. It's basically V7 of flyff but better.

[@ЦветанГергинов-с7ю]

Literally i grew up playing that game!

[@GhostPhazeGaming]

I used to play this game back in the day. This game problem back then is that you can't solo the higher level monsters by yourself and it takes forever to solo them. They wanted you to team up with someone to make it a team based game so It kinda killed the joy of the game and I had to quit the game. I don't know how it is now.

[@watya6886]

Something you missed that i want to highlight. Tho the upgrades scrolls are bought in the cash shop, those same scrolls can be farmed in game by killing stronger versions of the world bosses. Most of the premium items can also be bought by in game money but i wont deny that it is pay to win. The classes themselves have different variations of builds that boils down to if you wanna run a meta build or be a bit more creative. Tho a new class would be fun the devs reworked the classes to give them more options on how they want to go about the leveling experience. Character progression can be very strict as you level up but the game does give you a free scroll to reset you skills and resets you stats upon getting to 2nd job to give you a chance to rethink your build. Overall the game has a lot more accessibility. Just not at hind sight. Thats why people like it. I hope you make another video playing the game from level 1 to level 60 ang getting to the 2nd job advanced even without doing research onna build. I doubt you will tho.

If I could find a reliable buff helper I would be higher lol. Hate having to bug a guildee constantly.

[@watya6886]

@@VagrantVideos there is an npc buffer the lil penguin dudes all over the map called buff pangs. They provide lvl 5 buffs from lvl 1 to 60 and lvl 10 buffs fro lvl 60 to 119. They also have an exp and drop rate buff so they're worth while to use. I understand that a ringmasters buffs are still top tier but the social aspect is a mechanic on its own for older mmos such as these. Some players do have an alt as a buffer. Leveling up 2 characters at the same time. I personally dont do that and just make a build that will carry me through endgame. I have 5 characters ranging from 60 to 75 that all were solo play. I have a do a slower leveling progression but my payoff is characters that can solo worlds bosses with no ringmaster buffs needed. I cant do the instance dungeons cuz i am solo but the open world dungeons offer a lot of challenge and gear as well.

You play a game to have fun, plvling for money is not fun. You gott do it for unhealthy hours and it wont upgrade your weapon from +8 to +9. You need way too much money for upgrading.

Would not recommend this game , the start was good, then bots came in causing inflation , then people complained about the hardcore grind which starts around lvl 80, the developers introduced the Tower daily as a result from complains , bcs of tower daily quests no one cares anymore about lvls , its easy to lvl up for anyone one now and on top of the cake the players generate money from the Quest which can be abused by multiaccounds. lvls got meaningless, and the work players gave in from the start to get to a high lvl. Then they introduced the stupid battle pass , which can and is still abused by multiaccound abusers for free soul bound scrolls, to upgrade their equipment for free , than to sell popular items wroth alot , nearly for free.The FWC server is abused to generate alot of high lvl chars, for said mechanics above. The difference between a mobile player and a pc multiaccound abuser is sooo big that its a big scam and waste of time for mobile players which are playing the game as it should be. There are so many chars online at one spot but its just 1 player which controlls them. I think the real player amount is 10 times less than its look like. And the multiaccound users with alot of free time are getting super rich. Theres no solution from the devs coming at these hilarious points . This people will try to sell you high upgraded items for a huge amount of penya , which they created by a small amount of effort , but you the buyer had put in a hilarious time of hours. This game is in my honest opinion death since the battlepass, i played it Since the start in 2022 and its just all about how many chars youve got and how much money you make (or scrolls) in a month. If you are playing this game fair worked hard with hell grind, well you get a good weapon , but the abusers of system can make 50 weapons in one month , you 1

[@damianrogowski5519]

Also the power creep is getting hilarious real fast because of the greed from the company . Oh you got the bloody weapon for 800m at the start nice (wroth back then like 100$) cool now lets upgrade it another 200$ . Okay new update we need more money , luzaka weapons came out with new lvl arena . Guess what your bloody weapon is useless , the devs set the HP bar so high to force you to buy the new weapons. And bloody was only 2 years old. Its really non free 2 play friendly . Because your new weapons loose half value over a year , which means your playing generate that penya through hard work , but on the other hand you loose penya from devalue . You will always feel poor in this game

[@xxboxofmuffinsxx4252]

Don't play FlyFF. It's ravaged by dupers and RWT. It has been for over a decade. People dupe the expensive scrolls and sell them to people for real world money so the people who buy them can sell them to other players for penya (the in-game currency). If you don't do this, you'll never reach the "end-game." The game is also an insane grind. One of the toughest MMOs to grind in. The best grind methods require a party dedicated to AoE grinding and if the tank dies, the whole party is guaranteed to die, it takes an hour to gain 5% or so exp at higher levels, and if you die you lose it. To get one character to an end-game level (not necessarily max) will take you in the thousands of hours played. The BGM tracks are good and the art style is quite charming, but overall the game is rough all around. I highly recommend anyone who doesn't already play it to steer clear. If you do play it, why?
