Beautiful

User Rating: 9.1 | Final Fantasy XI PC
This game is what I would believe to be at the height of MMORPG quality, I have played countless others including: Everquest 2, WoW, Guild Wars, and DAOC, and none of them can seem to match up to this game's sheer playablility and friendliness to noob players to an MMORPG game. You can spend countless hours on this game and acomplish only a small portion of it's true design. The combat system is very fun to use, though I do say if you're are more into a hack and slash constant control type MMO I'd recommend Guild Wars or one of the others I've listed, but if you're used the traditional style of the FF games, and like to have a little more plan and strategy to your attacks then FF wins there hands down. The environments in this game are beautifully set up and very detailed, although the sky does tend to create lines across the screen sometimes.. :(. There are many jobs to choose from as well and more coming with the new expansion "Treasures of the Aht Uhrgan". These include: Warrior, Black Mage, White Mage, Monk, Ranger, Beastmaster, Red Mage, Blue Mage, Corsair, Dark Knight, Paladin, Thief, Summoner, Ninja, Samurai, and Dragoon. The crafting system in the game is very fun to use and allows you to make very useful items. Overall I believe this game is addicting enough to keep you playing for years and it's constant updates keep adding more content such as quests, missions, areas, and jobs. One of the best things about it is that you are constantly learning how to play it. Basically if you're a fan of the series or not, this game is above all one of the best MMORPGs on the market.
