I am a huge fan of final fantasy and after 6 years I decided to break down and buy ffxi. The main reason I did not previously is due to not having a 360 or pc capible of handing the game. When I first started the game was great and I found a group of other newbs to hang out with and do the early missions and quests with. The big problem I have is that after level 20 you need a party to do nearly everything, including level your job.
Finding a party can sometimes be difficult and frustrating. After a year of playing I still could not find anyone who would run the Chains of Promathia missions with me. Either the other players had done them and did not want to do them again or they just didnt want to do them at all. I at one time had 10 linkshells and still had a hard time finding anyone who wanted to do anything other than A: level or B: do dynamis (after level 65).
And dont even start me on the leveling. Its PAAAAAINFUL. It takes forever to level up a job. I have 2 jobs above level 60 (ninja and red mage) and when I found a party to work on leveling each party had a different idea of how you should play your job in that party. Then if you didnt play it exactly as they thought you should it caused inner party conflict (usually with someone who has a level 75 job and thinks they are the mmo god, you know "those types")
Anyways after about a year of frustration I finally quit the game and now look back on it with a sigh and wonder of why I wasted so much time.
Unless you have a group just starting together or willing to run missions and quests this game is not with the time. Try a non-mmo final fantasy for better game play and less frustration. Sure there is not as much to do, but u can level faster and at least you can do everything the game has to offer.
Best MMoRPG! September 29, 2009

FFXI is for the ADVANCED MMoRPG gamer. A very difficult game for younger generations. A game made in Japan...where no detail is too small...a world where everything can affect you and you can affect everything. From the type of day, to the type of weather in your area, to who is in control of your region, to who you are invading- can affect the way you grow things, your craft, your mount raising, your magical attributes, what equipment/items are available to you. There is no way you can run out of things to do in this game. Tired of leveling? Start a craft, raise a mount(s), gain fame in your home country, fight against other players from opposing countries, work missions from your government to gain rank, join a guild, create a guild, run quests, defend outposts, invade enemy lands, expand your countries borders, gather with fellow adventurers to prevent cities from being overrun by beastmen(in a war-like battlefront) and even more!!! You will never find yourself in a position where there is nothing left to accomplish.
People interaction: There are no French servers; german servers; japanese servers; american servers. Everyone is all thrown in together from all over the world in several servers(servers for population control only). Communicate with people on the other side of the globe using in-game automatic translation dictionaries.
Lots of holiday events! Watch your home country decorated in lights and colors during christmas holidays or chase spooky ghosts huanting your town during halloween, or join in an easter hunt!
You will need help if you are barely starting this game as it is very different from other MMoRPGs(i.e. World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Everquest) Everything is original in this game. Be sure to make friends, join a guild/linkshell, or have friends join you as it can be EXTREMEMLY difficult to play on your own. Like I said, this is a game for the advanced MMoRPG gamer. *your game will start out in low quality, be sure to adjust your settings to your satisfaction*
 Very bad online support September 12, 2009
K. Chan
Bad support! I called them 4 times and waited for about an hour. They need some sort of 3D credit card verification. Bank of America MasterCard is not supported. I had several level 75 jobs. You can tell how much time I invested :(
I canceled my 3 accounts. I don't feel I missed it. I feel I enjoy my evening more after I quit.
 Requires patience August 2, 2009

This game can be slow through certain levels as you have to struggle through a lot of questing to obtain simple basic nessesities. Later in the game as you unlock new jobs and areas it begins to get interesting again. Unfortunately, this game has a slower pace than most games of its type and frequently is plodding or boring as it forces you into inactivity or semi-inactivity for extended periods of time.
Sadly, the one thing that used to make this game the most interesting, lots of interaction with other players, is severely deminished as FAR fewer people are playing this game so there is minimal interaction. Gone, it seems, are the 200+ member link groups and the support they offered.
