I never played an MMO in my life. I am a die hard Final Fantasy fan. When I saw the Ultimate Collection for $5 on Steam, I couldn't resist, especially with a 30-day free trial. MMOs in general intimidate me. I am told you need to sunk massive hours into the game for it to become enjoyable. This game in particular is supposed to be more "hardcore" as it's older and less "noob-friendly". I don't know if this is true, so I'd like some input from some people who have played the game. How is the game compared to other, more recent MMOs? Is it still enjoyable? I have been told the story is very good; is it true? Can I solo the game or should I play with other people or friends? Should I read any guides for newcomers? If yes, which site should I visit?
Please give me some feedback. I want to enjoy this game, I really do.
Final Fantasy XI Online
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released May 16, 2002
Players from across the globe enter the world of Vana'diel for a Final Fantasy adventure in the series' first foray into the MMORPG genre.
I just bought the Ultimate Collection
From what its not very new user friendly any more. And most people wont even look at you if you are not higher level. How much is it per month anyways.
Thanks. One of my friends told me he'd play with me, at least for some time. I look forward to it! Any tips for beginners?
I also picked up the Ultimate Collection because of the Steam sale. I'm looking forward to getting into the game this weekend and seeing what I think about it. It seems interesting and I'm looking forward to trying it out even if its only for the free 30 days.
What job/class are you playing? The GameFAQs page for FFXI has a lot of guides depending on which class you decide on.
Holy shit this game is fucked. The controls are just awful. The interface clunky as fuck. Everything about this game screams poor concept and design choices. It's crazy; how can so many people play such a fucked up game for hundreds of hours?! Ugh.
In any case, I won't be playing this game. I sincerely hope for SE that they learned a thing or two since FFXI in how to make a MMORPG. Them checking out Western games such as Diablo and WoW needs to be true.
