Is FFXI any good?

I certainly couldn't get into it - seemed very heavy to me. I love the normal Final Fantasy games and I'm fairly into World of Warcraft at the moment, but it certainly didn't keep me interested at all. It's certainly very slow indeed, you'll need to be patient. Perhaps it's rewarding if you manage it. Worth installing if it's free I suppose.
 
Played it for 2 years. very good game if you like hardcore MMO's it takes a lot of time to do anything but getting a group for things can take hours sometimes days.
 
I tried for 2 weeks but couldnt get into it.

The ui is designed for console players and after playing wow it just was so cumbersome.

Not to mention the damn sony network crap you have to sign up.
 
I played it for about a week and then gave up, however about a year later, a whole group of us (6) started playing together and it became a lot better

I don't like the travel system, but once you get an airship or a mage it's a lot easier. Also the economy is PC driven, so nothing is cheap and monster don't give a lot of gil.

This is the only way to play it. It's a very polished, very atmospheric game, but soloing is practically impossible beyoned the mid teens, and groups are generally very, very serious. God help you if you haven't got the generally accepted character build, you haven't a chance. If you've got a regular group of friends to play it with though, it's a blast.
