This needs an updated review, for one thing there are achievements to get and boy will that take some getting..........
However, once you do get into the game and begin to learn your way around you soon discover this is bigger than anything you will ever have played before, unless you had already played Everquest or Ultima Online on PC.
You are free to be anything you want to be in the game, all classes are available (eventually) to be played by your one character. Level a warror to level 10, fancy a change? - Change to White mage and start to level that to level 6, want to try something different? - Change to thief and start to level that job.
That alone was something I had wished were available on all the other mmorpg's out there - I dont want to keep creating new characters just to try new jobs..... brilliant idea by the guys at Square Enix.
Add to all that a ton of craft skills you can work on, your own house to store your things in and to decorate, the ability to grow plants or to raise your own chocobo (giant chicken thing which you can ride) and the multitude of things you are able to do.... well I think you should just try this game for yourself and see.
Fabulous game where PC, PS2 and 360 owners can meet up and play together on the same server, give it a try and watch the years just fly by!
