Best MMORPG ever! The never ending size of this game is too large to explore even in a year!
I have to admit the game throws you into the action almost instantly and it can be confusing to understand. But stick with it give it about a hour or two and you'll meet someone who is willing to help. In fact most high lvl players wait around the three main starting towns just to help newer additions. So your bound to find help. As for things you'll be doing..... Well I don't know where to start there's so much to do in the world of Vana'diel there are various crafts such as fishing (to make a bit of money) Cloth craft (to make armor) Goldsmith, cooking and the list goes on. And to top it all off you have thousands of quests to adventure into including something called missions. Missions are the main meat of the game (with the storyline there are 3 different ones) and quests are like things to do when you need money or armor.
The amount of monsters to kill is increible. Put it this way if you want to go round smashing gobs round the head with a massive axe then you'll like this game. In fact there's something for everyone if your a caring type of guy then be a white mage, a dark scary force maybe black mage? Or perhaps your a all mighty Dragoon with our trusty dragons to help us? (OK I'm a dragoon so I'm biased on this one :p) I have been playing for over 13 days worth of play time (that's 314 hours). And I have loved every second of it. There are achievements for this game but they are pretty hard to achieve but they are there. Well I'm ending the lecture on how great this game is! Bye for now! Hope to see you in Vana'diel!
