CAME BACK TO FFXI, AGAIN
FFXI has the most replay value and most fun endgame content from any other MMO. I come from the vantage point of having played 9 MMOs over the past 6 years, and none can compete. The subjob system allows soloing and group opportunities, and you can try out other jobs without have to make other characters. Unlike other MMOs, you aren't locked in to a class, so you don't have to start over building reputation or doing missions or giving all your friends your new ingame name. <
>Travelling is amazingly simple in the game because of Outpost Warps. You can teleport to dozens of locations in the world, and call your own cocobo to come and pick you up, along with the crystal based teleport spells. <
>Crafting, like other games, is costly at first but yields great rewards and money towards the end. <
>Notorius Monsters now drop items that are cannot be sold, which has combatted the RMT issue that FFXI faced in its early years. Instanced NMs still drop the valuable items that can be sold on the auctions, as well as many of the other named mobs in the game. <
>Also, with SquareEnix releasing expansion packs every year, the games' strongest point of having unique and engaging storylines and frequently refreshed. <
>Square also offers an FFXI festival that attendees can win prizes for both in irl and ingame. <
>I have played WoW, Lineage2, Rising Force Online, Matrix Online, Guild Wars, MapleStory, Travian and EQ2, and FFXI is the only game that I have quit and come back to (twice actually). I truly wish I had not deleted my previous characters. <
>Additional tools that can make your game more fun are the FFXI Atlas (for newbies who need to be pointed in the right direction), [...] (for item, crafting, mission, and quest information), and limitbreakradio.com (for an entertaining radio show on FFXI). <
>Have fun in Vana'diel!

Fun for the "Hardcore"
Well...to put it simply, I love this game. Unfortunatly, you need almost 3-4 hours a night to play it to the full extent, which I just didn't have. They combat is fun and the jobs are usually pretty cool (except BLack Mage *shudder*) The only flaw, well, actually three flaws, is that, as said before, it takes forever to move ahead. In the beginning you level easily and parties are optional. After level 18, things start getting rough. You NEED to join a party in order to gain just one level an hour or two. Soon, it takes about 1-2 hours just getting a party, and as soon as you do, there is almost ALWAYS a problem, like finding a healer or reviving your Black Mage >.< Soon, once I hit level 36, I began leveling all my low leveled jobs, just for the fun of it, and the party-lessness of it. The second flaw is that you just feel like one of the crowd, mainly because almost zero character custimization leads to blurring of individuals. Soon, you lose originality in the way that you actually PLAY a job. For ninja, you just start tanking, even if your a Tarutaru like I was. For Summoner, sadly, all you do is heal, like a White Mage, except worse because your skill is halfed. The last flaw is that you need gil. Lots of it. Only the hardcore can seem to make ANY gil. (Gil is the money) Without gil, you can't get parties, and without parties, you just CAN'T level up. Overall, if you are casual, avoid this game. For those more serious try to pick up this game, only if you can spend the time needed.
