The game mechanics are the worst of any game, much less one you must pay for. You must wait 2 hours to use your 'ultimate' ability, which barely has any use anyway. You'll easily spend 5-6 hours waiting for a specific enemy to spawn so that you can get an item that boosts one stat by 1-2 points, and even +15 to a stat barely makes a difference. I find the game is fun and rewarding until you reach levels 15-20, where camping for these enemies becomes mandatory for survival. Other players are standoffish about your character class and equipment choices as well. You will complete big objectives hoping for a sweet looking video which Square has done so well on in the past, but you wont see it here. The support also leaves much to be desired. Overall - not fun. If you are hell bent on Final Fantasy, play one of the single-player titles, you will be much happier in the end. Currently I am trying out Dungeons & Dragons online, its free, looks better and is much more enjoyable. I am regretful that i sank so much time and money into FFXI, the most unrewarding gaming experience I've ever had.
