FINAL FANTASY XI (ONLINE?) HEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!! :-P

I have been hopelessly obsessed with Final Fantasy (not literally but you know what I mean...) for the last 4 years. I played FF9 first but :D FF8 :D was the one that hooked me. Since then I have bought and played all of them (except 3). I am now desperate to play Final Fantasy XI but my parents won't let me have internet Access on my ps2 (no matter how many time I tell them that It wont give their computer viruses....stupid adults are so......STUPID!!!) . Is it at all possible to play it without an Internet connection?I AM SOOOO DESPERATE HERE!!!!!

(oops I've lost my composure...)

No, there's no way of playing it offline, I would suggest getting it for PC then, the vana'diel collection goes for only like $30 and has the game and both expansion packs on 1 dvd

(Also what virus would you possibly get on ps2?)

Also, kudos to you for not giving the typical:

"zomg I don't want to put out the effort to pay for FFXI, or don't like the fact that's it's online, therefore it sucks and shouldn't be part of the series"

No, it is not possible. You must have an internet connection to play FFXI.

yeah it snot worth it man just wait til FF12 is out so oyu can splurge on your fandom there.
