Has anyone played it ? It is on sale on steam ....and it looks cool .

And how much is it monthy. I could get into a FF online game. 

I think thats the one that was packaged with the PS2 HDD, its a leveling up MMO if anyone is playing it now a days I doubt you'll ever level up enough to really have any fun.  I would pass on it if this is the FF game I think it is, but thats my opinion I don't like MMO's either.

Ive also heard there are rumors its gonna go the way of Tabula rasa. 

" @The_Laughing_Man: Its existed in japan for years...i doubt it will go any time soon "

This game is not friendly to new comers, the players are all awesome but you really have to dedicate yourself to get anywhere and FF14 is coming out sometime so I would skip on FF11 if I were you.

Personally its my favourite MMO but its really aimed at group gameplay from the early levels. And it was released in 2002 so it dosent feature a lot of "smoothing" of gameplay in the post-WoW MMO's and is more akin to Everquest. If you want an MMO with a bit more complexity than WoW and are willing to give a shot even with it having the Final Fantasy name then id say try and rope a few friends in, with friends you have the potential to love it but without friends then you will need to be lucky and hook into a clan with players around your own level.

As far as I remember you spawn in your chosen town (out of 3 nations) and you have to find the first quest in the main chain yourself, you have to find all the shops yourself, there is a map but it dosent feature any objective markers or descriptions. And if you go too far from the exit's of the town (like 100m) the enemies get really brutal and will kill you which results in a loss of XP. And I dont remember any description of how do get or do any of the higher level combo attacks.

EDIT: Also there are no markers to show who has your quests (or who gave you a quest) and you have just have to know and go talk to them. There are vague quest descriptions but if you dont know where to go (more than likely) you will need to look up a guide to tell you where the thing is.

Define " Not friendly to new comers"  "

I'm actually waiting for the 7 hours of updates to install atm. But I remember playing this game about 8 or 9 years ago on my ps2. At that time I was still a kid, but I loved it and didn't have much trouble figuring it out. I'm looking forward to jumping back into the mix.
