FF XI - what is it? Looks nice!

Crap, that's what it is :p

It's a bad port of a PC game that's a couple of years old.

It's an MMORPG, the beta disc was on the cover of the official Xbox mag in January.
 
ROFL! Ahhh well, I'll be keeping that a wide berth then!

Can't complain over an honest and to the point answer :D

Right, thread closed, thread deleted, in fact forget it existed!!

What wyrdo said, If you like the look of it and want to play it, get the PC Version. It is actually a very good game if you can spend 8hrs a day every day of your life on it. But the 360 version is a terrible port from the beta I played.

You mean a bad port of a PS2 game ;)

FFXI imo has always been a 'move along, nothing to see here' type of game. Like all eastern MMOs, its 90% powerleveling, 10% actual game.
 
No , he means a port of the PC version, which it is. Looks exactly the same as my PC version did.

It's not that bad really.
 
Hmm well, seeing as the PC version came out 6months to a year before the PS2 version, they must have used some new fangled time machine.
 
Played it for 16 months and loved every moment of it. Just be prepared to grind like there's no tomorrow, if you decide to play it.
 
Yeah, I played for about 10 months, really enjoyed it. Has a nice feel to it, no region restriction either, so you get a nice varied community.

The grind isnt actually as bad as I remember, the new xp bonus bands help a lot.

Really? I was sure the PS2 version was the first. Oh well - looks like it all stems from the PC version, altho I was sure all the graphics etc. came from the PS2 (since they wanted the gameworld to be the same across both platforms).

It came out in Japan on PS2 in Summer 02, then the following Nov/Dec on PC. I was being really fanboyish and imported it on PC as soon as it came out :D I think they released it the other way around in the US with the PC first and PS2 following. Then theres Europe... which didn't see it out on PS2 did it?

Anyway, I spent a good chunk of 2-3 years on it which was fun. Every MMO I know is a grind.. its just the little things that make the grind and things around it enjoyable. Its really team oriented. Make some good buds and it'll be a blast. Practically all the people I played with were Americans/Asians due to the release times. It was a pretty wide game when I first started and they keep adding expansions. One of these days I'll make a come back!
