I'm disappointed with XI because they made it an MMORPG that you had to pay monthly for, what a rip."
Brother said the same, but personally I find it seriously worth it.
They charge you in Dollars too, so it ends up being about half the cost you expect it to be.
I mean World of Warcraft is like what £9.99 / month which only allows you to have a single character. Most MMOs are quite expensive and require your full attention to achieve anything.
FFXI however is like £6-7 for the main account + 50p for each additional account. It's a very open and forgiving MMO as well.. Seriously it's one of those things that once you play it, even if you don't like it at first you find yourself thinking 'well maybe another hour'.
It's about the only MMO I've played for more than just the first month. Seriously I've a string of MMO games that I've bought, played like crazy over one or two weekends when I've been free... then they've just started gathering dust as the whole 'new game' experience wears off.
When your paying monthly it's not something you want, so often it's a case of never getting past the free trial for me. It's not a case of not wanting to pay but honestly loosing interest.
Final Fantaxy XI however keeps me commming back. I find myself getting in a sneaky hour or two before work, or before bed. Just something about it that makes it so enjoyable. And it sure as hell ain't the community cause most of the people online barely talk to you. You get some that do, but most just ignore you.
After a while you'll fall in with a bunch of people and reside mostly in your linkshell while doing some menial tasks around the place.
Personally I think Square-Enix and Sony have been stupid not to advertise it and try to capitalise on the fact it's just so damn addictive; like tetris, or snake.[/quote]
