Do You Play FFXI? - Page 2

There is a PlayStation 2 version, and you are able to get all of the expansions as well. However, it will cost a lot more money to get started than the others. Also, you'd probably have to hunt down the pieces off the internet as most stores don't carry the expansions or hardware anymore.

The downside to the Xbox 360 is that you'd have to have Xbox Live. If you already have that, kudos. If not, that's the most expensive way to play. You'd be better off just upgrading your graphics card.

Race-Elvaan
Job-Warrior-Lvl 13

BTW, for the 360 version you only need XBL Silver Edition which is free. Also the game is free monthly I believe on the 360 version. You don't need a very good computer to play FFXI anyway. An old Radeon should be good enough to play. I used to play on an old Compaq presario before I got my desktop.

I'm on brief hiatus from FFXI but when I'm there, you'll find me as the Mithran Monk Angeladark on Fenrir server, my jobs are too long to list, but they are all unlocked and at least level 10, my three highest are MNK 39, WAR 37 and WHM 38.

I was Grieverao from Hades

65SAM
37THF
37WAR
40WHM
among other crappy lvls.

Decided to quit FFXI as it fucking killed my social life and nearly my home life.

Too many hour to dedicate to it.

My sig shows my best bits and for those that do not know the Peacock Amulet not the Peacock Charm was a damn great achievement.

Quit in Jan '07 and never looking back.

Aso I was the lowest lvl on Hades and across the EU to have defeated Kirin.

I don't play it. It is trying to pull a WoW motif and it just doesn't work. I do like the concept of playing with multiple people online and using spells from FFgames, but FF games were not designed to be played this way.

I lol'd at that.

FFXI > WoW

WoW is more of a kids game, I played both to an end-game extent and FFXI beats.

Nevertheless all I have is my opinion and a bucket of time.

Can I have your bucket of time? I don't seem to have much of that.

well i'm thinking of getting it, what exactly is the point of the game?

There is no end to the game. Even when you reach "end-game" status you still will never "beat" the game.

The great thing about it is that you decide how far you wanna take it. I chose to take it where I have completed my v.1 Artifact Armour, got access to Sky and took part in killing one of the hardest monsters in the game, Kirin. But End-game provides it's own challenges in the attendance you need to futher your progress. Something with my family and work and life, I couldn't sacrifice for an online game.

This is a game where no matter how much independance you think you have, you can't get a lot done on your own. A lot relies in teamwork and strategy and yeah it sounds fun at first, but when you have been trying to make an exp party for 2 hours and still not got an invite yourself and you have 30 mins before you need to log off. Some dumbass starts messing up the party your trying to build and thus creating one more non-prductive day.

Great game, problem is other people's personalities, while good, can hinder your progress.
