Turthfuly it's a graet game that gives bored peopel a great way to wast their time and be put in semi realistic perspectives like weather to buy something expensive that takes a while to farm (collecting items to sell on the ah~ auction house to other peopel for gil or money) or to buy something almost as good that makes thing harder to beat. It turly is a emersive world that may seem really dull with the first few classes but after you get the other jobs and level them up it turely becomes a completly different game where you must work together inorder to beat a monster and then redo but in a attempt to chain it and get more exp. But if you don't have time to put in this game i sadly will have to agree (with teeth grining) to play something like WoW or PSU. There are many servers so you dont have to worry about overpopulations, amongst there servers there are many players that will give you a hard time or there are many friends that will give you many good times or there are people that will help you or theres peopel you will party with once and maby never see them again. As for story wise there are 3 nations you start in and depending on where you start out theres different monster that await outside the kingdom walls. As you level up there are differnet missions you will accomplish for the nation and get a higher rank which will give you some things like a airship pass. There are also quests that you can do for different peopel in the kingdom and outside which i where you will level up. The expansions (that all the current ones are included in the 360 version) give better areas to level up and new monsters and also, just like your kingdom, they will have their own missions and quests. But mostly their there for higher lev players to continue from doing the same thing over in the other areas that came in the original. Gameplay wise you dont actully attack by pressing a button it is activated and continues from there till either you die or the monster does. A lot of your abilities (and weather or not you will get a party fast) is depened upon your job. If your a white mage you might be bored and stressed with having to only cure over and over and over and over and over again you will get a party fast, but if your a job like samurai party are that plentiful because mostly people want a thf whm blm pld and 2 dd's. At first when you don't have many skills you mostly will almost die fighting strong stuff or take forever killing weak stuff. But after you get most skills like 50 + but you will have enough at 20 to have a lot more fun. At lev 18 you can get your chocobo and at 15 a subjob which is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy healpful. Once you get to 65+ you start endgame stuff like killing gods which is a fun ordeal, For this you will need a ls or a linkshell. Its a group of people that all conversate and only thoes who have a pearl can talk. This is where many great memories will occure, it is turly a shinning asspect of the game. They mostly (if there good) are helpful, funny, and do stuff together as well as helping people out. Also when there is seasonal events you can all do them together and have some great fun doing it Overall once you get used to the story and gameplay it is turly one of the most advanced and complex mmo's out there that is a lot of fun. As for sound it has a great soundtrack that are additive and if you play enough you will probaly start humming them youself. Graphicly wise on 360 it is great improvement from ps2 but if you got a good computer not better than that. For how big it is the graphics are stunning. The price tag for a month is not bad at all, its only like 12 bucks. Controls can be ajusted and feel rather good. A keyboard is almost a must but they do have a lil on screan keyborad that takes forever to type something.Overall it is a grate game that depending upon a person it can be a wast of time to a great experience that will give you great memories to the grave
In short, this game is not worth whatever amount you spend on it and I'll elaborate on that later. Firstly, this game has been out for years. In fact, for those still unaware, this game was first published on the ps2; ye... Read Full Review
