What Gamespot Users have to say about Final Fantasy XI

  • Rating:6.7

    FFXI definately delivers the quality that we have known...too bad it costs so much to enjoy.

    Being that this was the first MMORPG that I had really played, I wasn't sure what to expect. And, after playing for the last several months, I realized that it is a fairly good game...except the fees to play. First off... Read Full Review

    When the most notable part of the game is chatting, there is a problem.

    Final Fantasy XI is a typical MMORPG, with an exception; it has the Final Fantasy name branded to it. From the start, the installation and account creation process are a mess and take hours to complete. Thinking back, ... Read Full Review

    An unacceptable con, especially for first-time MMORPGers.

    An unacceptable con, especially for first-time MMORPGers. This review is tough to keep concise, since the game is so large and complex. I'll try to keep it simple. This game is insidious. It's fun at first, offers ... Read Full Review

    One thing I will say that makes final fantasy xi differ from all the other MMORPG games I've played.. this one has story. Now I know that there is supposed to be some sort of big intricate plot in Everquest that you'r... Read Full Review

    Final Fantasy XI is the first MMORPG I have played. I love the FF series so I figured this game would be a good intrduction for me into this genre. I found the game to be very addictive at first even a bit overwhelming... Read Full Review

    This game concept was compelling enough, along with my love of the franchise, to get me into the game initially. The concept that I enjoyed the most was the ability to take on multiple professions with one character, wh... Read Full Review

    This is the best MMORPG I have played. A little less accessable than other MMORPGs - there is no option to download the client and it is months or years before the game or expansions reach all contries (Japan first, then... Read Full Review

    When I first got this game I was literally blown away by how amazing it was. Beautiful graphics, a huge world to explore, and a deep job and craft system that was exciting to delve into. It seemed perfect at the time, bu... Read Full Review

    This game has taken 300 hours of my life so far, and all I want is to STOP!......but i can't.....

    By dyaballikl | Review Date: Jul 16, 2004 | PS2

    Well, ffxi sure is a world or its own. But is that such a good thing? This reviewer doesn't think so. As several other of these reviewers, I'm a long time ff fan. And frankly, this game upsets me. It is in no way a ff ga... Read Full Review

    First off let me start by saying I do not play this game anymore, but played from US Launch until late May, so I can easily say I have experienced enough of the game to give it an honest review. The game is the first MM... Read Full Review
