Do you have to pay Per month?

Ok, so i was really interested in getting this game as XI III And IV are the only ones i havnt played, but after reading around i discovered that you have to pay per month to play the game - like £120 per year!

I was wondering is it true? becasue if it isnt i really would like to pick up this game - but if it is true, i just wont count this game in the series lol - see i have a strategy lol.

Yes, there is a monthly fee to play. I'm not sure what it is in your currency, but it's $12.95 USD per month for one character.

This is the only reason I've held back on not getting Final Fantasy XI myself. I'm not too cracked up about online gaming much, but then having to buy the game as a whole, then pay extra for the monthly fee's, it's jsut not worth it to me.

M'hmm, same here. I didn't get the game for that exact reason. I heard it was very addicting though, and I have to agree with that since I saw one of my friends play it. I watched for about an hour and was really interested...but like I said, to me it isn't really worth it. I'm not much of an online gamer either. =/

The way I've always seen online gaming is that it replaces all other games for you. Since I pay about $30 a month for two accounts and various mules, and I play nearly sixty hours a week, it is the only game I play. Before I really got into the game, I used to buy two or three video games every month. Now I save myself well over $50 a month because I'm not interested in playing single player games anymore.

It's all relative to one's opinion. The biggest part is that if you don't have the time to play, it's never going to be worth it.

yes you have to pay per month.

What Yarub said is true, however, I would only recommend 2 versions of FF11 if you decide to get it. there is a PC version that has all 3 expansions included, and the Xbox 360 version is the other one for the same reason. I tried to find the expansion packs for the PS2 version, and it is almost impossible. I only found 2 (Treasures and Chains), and the PS2 version itself is $100 USD. but if you get a console version, I highly recommed a USB Keyboard. the controller keyboard is horrible, and it will quickly get on your nerves.

^lies the xbox360 version is not worth it

The only way to get the best experience at a cheap price is on the PC.

On Xbox360,you have to pay for the game.Pay for xbox live and pay for the monthly fees.

The Xbox version is not bad if you play other games that require Xbox Live.

I quit because of the monthly fee. The game is fun though.

Yeah, you have to pay, but it worth every penny. And 14 dollars a month for me isn't bad at ALL.
