yes 5 hours is a good amount of time to spend on this game, and maybe another 3 hours over the weekend?
school is such a damn factor!

so... would this probably be the best RPG that will be out? @_@... cuz i don't wanna keep switching games...
I mean.. whats FFXI compared to WoW or Unreal II, or maybe some other ones that are coming out in the future?
I go to school everyday, work an additional 12-18 hours a week, and in a recent study of my agenda in a time management class I discovered that I still seem to find roughly 74 hours a week for my current online gaming addictions... That number has been dwindling of late, been taking more shifts to pay off my visa from a couple of books I needed to buy for Netwoking class... And I'm just starting to get tired of the same things everyday in the same game. If FFXI has as many quests and missions and progress oriented goals for players to shoot for as I'm seeing about the internet's few good resources on it, instead of just mission + kill = ding and "Gee, I hope I get the uber loot", then I'm going to be quite happy to migrate the majority of my MMORPG time over to it
74 hours? does that include sleep?
My sleeping amounted to roughly 34 hours aside from everything else. One of the reasons I have that high of a playing time is because whenever I eat, I never stop what I'm doing. Eat at school, do it at my desk while I work, eat at work, do it in the back room and re-arrange and count stock, eat at home, PC's on the coffee table, I just keep playing. Hell, when I'm watching TV all I have to do is shift my head a foot to the right past my monitor to see it, so there again I don't stop playing. Dunno, just love being on my computer. Aside from getting tattooed it's pretty much all the passion I have left nowadays.
The community is way more productive than RO, it is very well set up.
As for needing time, if you can fnd a good group, they won't mind if you take off for a few minutes to do something and keep you in the PT to gain exp... I did this numerous times in Qufim, where one member would leave and we'd keep leveling with them sitting off to the side AFK.
Its all about teamwork and helping those that need it. if you get in a PT with me, you'd be alright. I have decided that even though I want to be a DRK in the end, I wil still start as WHM because it was so much fun and so easy to get into a leveling PT and get to level 30 and do all the quests.
bump on my last post.. whats FFXI compared to upcoming/already-made MMORPG's?
I play 32 hours a week yay! lol
Well I saw a chart, which I forget the address at this moment, and the statistics wern't made up I can assure you. But FFXI is currently the 2nd best MMORPG at the moment, with Everquest soaring over it at the moment, which you'd expect seeing as it has a large fanbase.
Isnt that like most sales or something? O-oQuote:

I think it was most players, which I'm guessing is the amount of people that like playing it. Could be wrong though.
I would bet Money on It that FFXI and Ever Quest 2 Stay in Close Competition Once FFXI releases here and has a few Months to fill up with People.
does anyone know how good World of Warcraft is going to be compared to FFXI?
[strike]Well, I've played Warcraft III online before, didn't like it too much. I think FFXI will be a bit better, but isn't it a different type of game?[/strike]
Sorry, I got games mixed up. I don't know what WoW is like, I heard it's more expensive in payments per month. Maybe you could try both? If you have the money that is.
I plan on keeping my AO account open from time to time, just so I don't loose my toons... Stupid Funcom purges every 3 months. Basically, if both games store a players vital game information for a long term, you can bunker down and decide which one you're playing for that month, then re-activate and cancel accounts accordingly.
Example: first 30 days of FFXI are free, so I'll have both accounts running. If I love it, AO's cancelled 2 months and re-activated on the third, during which time I decide which game I'll be on the most. If it's AO, then FFXI is cancelled until the server is close to being purged or I otherwise feel like getting back on sooner. This way I'm rarely paying for both and I don't loose any of the in-game benefits derived from my hours of plugging away at the games.
