Fun MMO with chalanges,
As for the game well…if you’re looking for PvP you are buying the wrong game. Also don’t expect much of a solo experence as in this game you’ll mostly be teaming up with the other players agnist the monsters from lvl 20 and up. It’s pretty much ok since the FFXI comunity can be pretty helpful and they all understand how long it takes to get top level in this game.
Personally I like the storylines in this game but if you’re just starting out it’ll take you while before you can fully enjoy them. The main starting nation mission lines are availble at the start, and The Rise oF Zilart expansion kicks in after you reach rank 5 in your chosen nation. The storlines of the other expasions can be done at any time but you’re gonna want to get a few levels under your belt before trying them. For example the first missions for Chains of Promithia start at a maxium lvl 30 cap. Besides missions we have a few quests with intrestin stories as well, but I won’t go too far into it here.
The other unique thing about FFXI vs other MMOs is the job system. With most MMORPGs you are stuck with whatever class you start as for all of the time you play that game. In FFXI there are over 20+ jobs a player can pick from with six jobs available at the start(the rest are unlocked via quests when a player gets his first job to lvl 30). You can swap jobs at any time with the only thing being that all jobs start on lvl 1, but don’t fret because the game keeps track of all the levels gain for each job. This means you can be a lvl 30 Warrior one minute and a lvl 20 White mage the next if you wish…just talk to the moogle in your home ^^
This game has alot to offer but don’t expect it to be an easy road….this is not World of Warcraft…it’s a game for the long haul! So if you wana make some cool friends and battle your way through come on in, but if you wana to solo and do PvP…this is probably not gonna be your game…

|FFXI–Always an Adventure!,
I have been playing FFXI for several years now, and I can tell you that Square Enix always keeps it coming!!! FFXI is not just the first worldwide cross server game, and multi platform game, with beautiful graphics (in comparison to other MMORPGS), it’s a world for players who want to be challenged, even if you’re not a Final Fantasy fan.
Many of you might find mixed reviews about the game, and I will admit that the FFXI experience is a bit more demanding and time consuming than other MMORPGS. I will conquer on the idea that you can’t have fun if you don’t have a lot of time though. I’m a young woman, planning to get married soon, just finished school (full time 6 classes a semester), worked, and still had time to play (as well as sleeping, eating, and spending time with loved ones of course). It is possible, you just need to manage your time correctly.
Another reason people don’t like the game is because it’s not really Newbie friendly. I mean, they have different campaigns for new characters, mentor programs, special items and quests etc, but the constant leveling and less challenging quests can be boring for a player until they reach level 30. That level is when the fun begins, parties become more strategic, players can obtain advanced jobs, and much more, but as stated before, in comparison to other MMORPGS, reaching level 30 could seem like forever.
On a more positive note, once a player reaches level 30+ and is able to explore Vana’diel more, they will start to realize what a detail and amazing world it is! FFXI has an AMAZING jaw dropping story line with each expansion, and they just keep getting better and better! FFXI even covers more than it had when it started. We now can enjoy over 20 jobs, with an amazing sub job system, several PVP’s, even more challenging End Game events for rare/exclusive armor and weapons, Campaign battles, and more! Also with the Special Task Force the economy is a million times better, and the game is more fun to play now. Square Enix has for many years kept it’s ears open to the players, and I’m sure I can speak for many FFXI fans that the game has evolved into something amazing.
On another happy note, FFXI might now have as many players as other MMORPGS…not they make commercialize in the US, only in Japan (God knows why…)…but I will assure you, the number of 12 year olds are significantly less than that in WoW LOL…
