Final Fantasy Online.... the 1st Final Fantasy game as a MMORPG. Not a bad game but it has its downsides!!!!!
This game presents tons of depth. You start out by selecting your race from a Hume to the Elf. Afterwards you select what nation you will be from... Windurst, Sand 'O Rian, or Bastok. After that you select from a slim choice of jobs to level and advance through the game. When you reach a certain level and meet the requirements you get to take on sub jobs which is a secondary job combined with your main job to further strenghten your stats by having the power of both... somewhat. The sub job is usually no more than half the level of your main job so you have to pick another job you want to sub and level it as your main until the required level is met to place it as your sub. Later, once you aquire level 30 or higher you can undertake the advance job quest opening up even more jobs to level at your content. Not a bad way to keep you occupied for months at a time.
Graphics and story isn't too bad either but depending on what order you take on certain quests the story can get confusing.
Two bad things to note about this game.... you will find that you can't do nothing past level 10 without help from other players. You are basically at the mercy of others but their are usually a ton of players online playing that will be more than willing to help..... sometimes!! The 2nd bad thing is the gil making process and overpriced equipment, especially at higher levels. Making funds in this game takes too long considering a Level 57 Scorpion Harness cost 16million gil and the best I found in making funds is around 30,000 gil an hour. You find that levelin is easier and faster than making gil which is completely unbalanced. Also the presence of gil sellers really ruin the experience for true online gamers. They steadily camp the Notorious Monsters who drop the best items and equipment just to make a profit in gil and sell the gil at outrageous prices(in real money) to the common gamer. Not a good thing in which I believe Square shouldn't allow such scenes to take place.
Overall this game isn't bad but there are other MMORPG available a lot better. If you decide to give this one a shot I reccommend the PC version which is better in every way compared to the PS2 and X-box 360 Versions and its cheaper in cost.
