5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Game, 4 Feb 2006
i've played this game for over a year on the PC now, and i have to say i do not agree with the other reviewerThere is 3 very in depth storys that you play though for each of the starting citys, there is also 2 addon packs (3 when it comes out on the 360, which will all come In-The-Box for the 360) each with a new story line making for a total or 5(6) full Final Fantasy Storys, each requiers you to team up with other players to complete at some point. You start the game with a choice of 4 races each with differnt looks, genders and stats, there are also 6 starting jobs to choose from and once you hit level 30 there are other jobs to unlock. (for a total of 15, at least 17 with the new addon) There are also Lots of side Quests and by lots i mean so many it will take you more than a year of playing to do them ALL, why so long you ask? the game gets a huge update every 3 month which adds lots of new things like crafting recipes, Quests, monsters, maps(sometimes), Items. The leveling system is great, you can Check each monster before you attack to see how strong it is, so you can stick to the Easy Preys or go all out and attack Very Tough monsters, every job can reach level 75 and you can level as many jobs as you like on 1 char. you can unlock Sub-Jobs, which are the normal jobs Sub'd with a Main job to added abilitys or spells. You do have to pay to play But you only need Xbox Live Silver (which is free and FFXI payment is $12 for your main char $1 for every other char) to play final fantasy XI, there is no voice support due to this game comming out on the Ps2 and pc before Xbox360 and would you really want a male voice comming from a female char? The GFX are a bit dated but still look great, and with Added HD in the full release will make it a great game, the Playonline system is a great program too as it holds the names of players you befriend ingame so you can chat while your not logged in(though Friend list Plus on playonline website) and its also the tool used to Update all the software This game will keep you playing for years to come For more information i would say go to the playonline website p.s. i play on the Lakshim Server, one of the 32 servers the game currently has!
