9 ... because Fue~ will probly be poor forever :( :lol:
DAMN GIL SELLERS !
i give it a 8.5 for the same reason as Tsukasa
7. It's pretty fun for an online game but I'm always a solo player at heart. The vast world full of different items, people, monsters is the upside. I love all that equipment. The long commitment it takes is the downside. This game loses a lot of points for me because it is impossible to just play casually for a few minutes at a time. If you are going to play and actually accomplish something you need to commit a good two hours of your day, which is pretty much all the free time I have on some days.
9.5 it has a certain boriness to it once u play it at the beging for awhile but other then that its awesome and they could at least try to make it easier for starting players to get in the game and spice up the battle system a tad
9! Best MMO ever, I dont even class it as an MMORPG... It's kind of insulting to compare it to all them others. It's not 10 cos of all them little things that PISS you off in it.
Why? The mechanics are basically the same as any other MMORPG.Quote:

For an MMORPG, I give it a 10/10. I have yet to play anything that rivals.
On it's own, I give it an 8. It's fun, and I love that the game is always expanding; there's always something to do. What I don't like is that it's designed in a way that lower leveled players need high level help in order to do anything substantial. In this, I mean mainly missions, and some quests. Sure, you can do it on your own, but by the time you're powerful enough to do it you don't really need it any more. There's not a great enough population to gather up enough people for the same cause to just party through legitimately.
I don't like sitting around while a LS members hacks away at baddies to get me a rare/ex item. =( Maybe it's just the curse of being a blm, but I'm completely helpless.
I say a 9, some parts of it are annoying though, its still ff and that is what you have to respect.
I would also give it a 7, some parts of FFXI are extremely well done, but on some parts i wonder really wtf are they thinking about and why havent they fixed yet.
I give it an 8
-255/10 :mad2:
Try playing it before you vote ...Quote:

Anywhos, I'ld give it a 9. Amazing story and characters. Great music (mostly >.>) and plenty of diverse jobs.
Onyl a few gripes like some of the level grinding as you go on just becomes too tedious. And not enough real low level content. (Beyond the Dragon BC, and Promies, there isn't much for a pre 31+ player to do beyond level. :/)
Plus sometimes doing things can be too much work and annoyance then it's worth. It seems that s*** hit's the fan more often then not even on simple walk through a dungeon to a BC.
Also gil sellers, and SE not doing enough on the issue, inflation on some items we need to use to level (Food, ammo, armor, etc.) Yet DEflation on items we need to makem oney (Like all the items I USED to make good money off of with alchemy, now I'm lucky to make 100k after 2+ish hours of farming materials >.<)
Overall a 9. mostly due to story and characters, even the little amount I've gotten into it.
7/10. It needs to be more solo-friendly, and they need to stop treating your PC like a PS2.
after CoP I would have said 8/10, but since ToAU came out, 9/10
The game is great, and has lasting appeal. Like all games it has its faults, but we know then and live with them and embrace to good things (which there are many of).
I just noticed a powerleveling add at the top of the screen... that would be one of the problems of the game... lazy ****s who don't want to really experience the game...
The only time I really like PLing, is when I'm on my 15th job through the dunes, and wish to just avoid the n00bs out there. >.>
It get's tiring leveling 1-20 the same way 15 times through. T_T
I personally don't mind PLing, but I'd never pay for one. It's just a bonus that means better exp.
Also a means for newbs to stay newbs....>_>; PLing is the bane of all newb problems, let em die a few times to learn.
From my experience, most don't learn even after deaths. It just accellerates the idiocy that is n00b inside them. >.>
And results in more often then not a "OMFG this exp is t3h suckerz! I h4x better exp, you suck I leave!" Which I've gotten that response to a death in more then one dunes party. >.>
I'd probably give it a 6 out of 10 or a 7 out of 10.
I've died more than enough to not be a noob. I still like PLing.Quote:

To me, that's one of the defining qualities of a good game. To rate the game low would be to give my intelligence an equally low rating. I'm not the sort of guy who likes pain. I don't self inflict any misery upon myself without fair compensation (that's how I justify going to work). If I didn't think FFXI was a great game, I wouldn't be playing it. I can't exactly put my finger on what works, but FFXI certainly has something going for it, and I can't stop playing.
I'd Give It a 6 or 7...for the simple reason u cannot solo anything worth getting...this game is to heavy on working together! don't get me wrong it can be good..but sumtimes i know u just don't feel like dealing with assholes in a party and u want to solo(nd get the same exp) nd lv..nd don't get me started on the diffcuilty of the mobs in higher lvs..at my Lv Easy Prey is not Easy Prey..more like Tough or Very Tough..nd then u gotta worry about the exp lose IF u die >.
6. Its boring me now. All I do is craft basically, untill inflation hits, then I'll rate it an 8.
