Wow is a lot more solo orientated than FFXI, which makes FFXI much more sociable, although just because your in a group with 5 other people to get XP, doesnt mean they talk to each other >.>

WoW vs FFXI

I was considering buying this seeing as I have WoW but I was wondering is there any point buying this if I have WoW and if anyone has both, can you please spell out the advantages and disadvantages. I apologize if this thread has been done before.

I played a little bit of XI and to be honest, it really is not that great. I got bored with it quite fast and there are a lot of assholes that play the game. WoW is so much better, so I would stick with that.

I also heard that they may be making XIV a MMORPG and that XI will just be shut down completely.

- FFXI has an epic story with tons of characters and cutscenes
- you can play all 20 classes on a single character
- PS2,PC,Xbox360/JP,NA,EU players all share the same worlds
-FFXI has a pretty mature community in comparison to other MMOs
- Luzaf (see my avatar and sig )

The one big thing to consider is FFXI will take a lot more time and effort to get stuff accomplished. It makes it much more rewarding, but if you dont have a lot of time for games then you'd be best sticking with WoW.

Also, you posted this in FFIX section :x

To be honest, I think that they both have their pro's and cons.

FF has pretty generic classes (White Mage, Black Mage, Thief), while the WoW classes are versatile.
Vana'diel is gigantic compared to Azeroth, even with Outland and Northrend included.

I think the WoW plots are very good, and apparently the FFXI plots are good too.

WoW has things like PvP, Dailies, Professions, Tiers, Raids, and lots of things to make it exciting even at the end-game. I don't know what FFXI has.

WoW Disadvantage: 1337 Nerds.

Also, people who say FFXI is unsoloable don't know what they're talking about, I know people who HAVE solod to 75.

If they were gonna shut it down, they wouldn't have released a new expansion, given us version updates every month with new things for jobs, weapons and other shit.

Especially if you are in a party. I was told you could get a programme for it but was recommended not to as there was a possibility of being banned.


....FFXI Setup > Start In Windowed Mode.
