gamestop is selling this game for 20 bucks new. i was wondering if this is worth picking up?? i have never played an MMO game and i love the FF series especially FFVII and FFX. i got 20 bucks to spare and althought gamespot gave it a bad review of 6.5 alot of user reviews have been in the 8-9 category. so for those that have bought this game or have played it, should i buy it?

ffXI is that the online MMORPG? I'd say keep the hell away from it and any MMORPG except WoW.. Can be more addicting than fun more than anything... and ff11 has got to be the most time consuming MMO of them all.

Just know that since FFXI is a MMORPG, it requires a monthly fee of 13-14 bucks a month for as long as you play. I personally like FFXI, but I play the PC version which is apparently a little easier to use and play on than the 360 (according to five of my Linkshell buddies on FFXI). I played WoW for a while, but didn't like that it seemed to hold my hand in whatever I did in the game. Good premise, and great community though.

it's one of the hardest and tedious MMOs out there if not the most. however the game has it's high points and is quite rewarding. Hoever, don't expect any of this without massive gameplay time spent on waiting to form parties and regaining XP that is lost when you die(especially at higher lvls). I played for almost 2 years on PC and loved it but looking back i don't really know if it was worth it.
