Seriously, I've been obsessing with this game lately. Though I like the Final Fantasy series I never wanted to play a game this much since VII. And don't usually like MMO's. I'm rather shy and had bad experience with bad-mannered communities before. Specially Ragnarök Online. I think I've never played a MMORPG for longer than a month and a half. Well, I've been to a lot of sucky ones like Priston Tale, RO, Knight Online, Tibia, Slayer, etc. Somehow I think things will be different in FF XI.

First of all is has no official Real Money Trade. I have position against this sort of stuff and left many games because of it. Second, for being heavily party-depended I guess the communnity in general behaves better (I've hear that from other players). Third because it's final fantasy! It has jobs I learned to like long ago, chocobos and a gameplay that seems stellar to me.

I was originally thinking of making a "Yuna Clone", Female Hume White Mage/Summonner. Then I took some time to realize that it was rather sad and pathetic. I've always frowned upon this stuff on tabletop RPG, it was kinda silly doing that in a mmo, though almost nobody roleplays. Now I'm considering a Female Hume Red Mage/Bard and a Male Hume Warrior/Dragoon as an Alt.

Well, I think I get my copy somewhere in march 2008. I'll wait for a possible PC version of the Vana'diel Collection 2008.
