Hey NBR it's me ROT. Marshmallow Man is back![]()
I used to play FFXI back in 2007, and quit for many reasons. Now i am back and i am loving it. I got the 14 Day trial and i have decided to stay in the game past the 14 days. Its that good.
The players are very helpful. The game is deep and intriguing. You really feel like you are part of the world.
I posted this here in hopes of anyone who would like to join me in game and try the game out. You might be surprised and decide to pay for it past the 14 day free trial.

Eh, the game doesn't have the gfx, and there are too many japanese players (not because im racist, but because you can't converse with them in a group and it makes it very difficult). The game doesn't have very many people anyway, plus no permenante mounts, you have to run very far sometimes, also the economy in the game is WACK, WACK YOU HEAR ME! IGN has ruined it, some items that used to be cheap ie crystals are now like 20,000 gil i mean come on. anyway thats my beef with the game.

Yup, awesome MMORPG. Alot of better than WoW or any free MMO I've played.
But this game is also very addictive, but luckily the community is very mature and helpful and the gameplay is just awesome.
Some bosses require around 24h to kill.( http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/14/new-final-fantasy-xi-boss-could-take-24-hours-to-kill/ )

I played it for 2 years... Do yourself a favor, and stop now
-
it is probably one of the best MMORPG games I have ever played. unfortunately, i dont have enough time to get the fun stuff done.
-
The last time I played Final Fantasy was in 5th grade. FF7 ahhh
-
-
Ah yeah, I know its not the same game with cloud or w/e.
Im looking into it right now just because I remember playing ff7 countless hours until I finally beat the game and there was some cool ending video for gaming graphics at the time. -

The Economy is much better now, and leveling is done much quicker. Though you can't complain about the end game. WoW has dungeons that take many hours to complete as do many MMOs. And there are alot of english speaking players, actually i have only encountered about 3 japanese players ever.
I was getting tired of Cry..., and CoD4. Wanted to break the mold by going back to a game genre i haven't revisited in a long time. And stop playing FPS like most ppl are right now (FP View gets kinda annoying after a while).
It is a much better game than you might think, or have heard about it. And yes the community is the BEST in any game, they are extremely helpful.
So who is gonna hop on and try it out. Free trial and key link in first post. -
FFXI takes twice as long to do just about anything. I don't know why people still do Dynamis, which can last 3 1/2 hours... try being a melee and you'll want to cut yourself half way through
The economy is fine, but if you're starting from scratch you'll be spending a long long time getting decent gear, and this game is all about your performance, or the vets get pissed and leave the parties you stink up, hah.
I had a 75 RNG, SAM, and NIN btw, and when I quit I gave away a load gear worth millions. Speed belt included, but never had a kraken...I did all the endgame, beat almost every HNM. It's kind of enjoyable casually leveling, meriting is fun, but I still think it's more trouble than it's worth. Sure I had a friend who sold his relic account for seven freakin thousand dollars... but it's still a waste of your life. -

4 to 4 1/2 years... but that's besides the point. You don't play video games to make money. You're obviously better off having a work life if you expect to make money. And literally living in momma's basement camping the same monster day in and day out sounds like sooo much fun....
-
Wow...i just dowloaded Windower for the game and it make the draw distance longer. Really good looking game now. Hope more people played it.

It is considered one of the popular MMORPG's. Player base should be around 700 000 or so.
