This game is too addictive for its own good.

I played this game from 2003 to 2006. I still think about some of the good times I use to have. I stopped playing because a lot of my friends stopped playing and the game was interfering with my life too much. This game requires a huge amount of patience and dedication. But, it will pay off if you're willing to put in a lot of your time and risk destroying your social life at the same time. What's great about this game is the party mechanics and at the same time this is also a huge flaw because most jobs require parties to level up. There are a lot of jobs to choose from, however, there are jobs in this game that are highly valued over others which will sometimes make you feel as if you have to force yourself to play a certain job. Some jobs will require more patience and skill than others. I think the graphics and character designs are well done. A lot of people say they aren't, but maybe it's because I played it on a good computer. End game is pretty dull, unfortunately. In order to partake in End game you must join a linkshell, and remain loyal to it. No problem with that, it's a team based game. The problem with end game is the camping and god battles which will take a lot of time to complete. This is the best MMORPG I've ever played. I never played World of Warcraft, but I know it's not as complex and aesthetically appealing as Final Fantasy XI based on what others have said. I will wait for the next Final Fantasy MMO. Great job, Square Enix., you have made another true gem. If you're looking for a deep, enjoyable, and challenging MMORPG FFXI is your game.
