I been playing FFXI beta for 2 1/2 months and game rules. I wasn't disappointed at game at all.
Hell its cool to see the real Cid from the most beloved FF of series if you know what I mean?
Game offers alot in free wandering and exploring and no evil random battles. Most beaufiful FF yet.

I have no complains of game except I don't have retail in my hands yet.

If your going to go online FFXI is up there in good online games to get list with: Resident Evil outbreak, and SOCOM II
