Not for everyone's lifestyle.

This game will require you to commit to at least 4-5 hours of gameplay minimum a day in order to get your money's worth out of this title (along with it's monthly fee). Also expect a VERY long learning curve for this game as the manual only gives you 25% of the information you need to get by. This game also requires only one style of RPG game play which is party quest only. If you attempt to solo this game... Don't even bother. If you have a job, a girlfriend, wife, girlfriend on the side, dependents, or a busy lifestyle in general... Don't even bother.

If you are a hardcore FFXI fan and own an Xbox 360, This is the game for you. For the time being, this is the only MMORPG for the 360 to date. Even though this game is a MMORPG don't be fooled.. this game is far different from WoW and is MUCH more involved and demanding.

As for me, I plan on cancelling my content ID once my 30 day trial is up... There is NO WAY I can commit to a game such as this. This is definitely NOT for the casual gamer... No ifs ands or buts.

As for accurate reviews for this game... It all depends on the reviewer's lifestyle so take the reviews as a grain of salt. However, I will tell you this... This game is four years old so don't expect to see "next gen" graphics. Take this game at face value for 2002 standards.

Expect this game to take up to 3-4 hours to be installed, updated, and for you to activate your acount information. So if you buy this game on a Saturday night like I did, don't expect to play the game until the next day. Also keep in mind that this game will take up half of your 360's HDD space. Also keep in mind that although this game only requires XBL silver, at $12.95 a month service fee needs to be paid to play.
