Thread: FFxi

  1. #1

    Default FFxi

    I am planning on buying Final Fantasy 11, and I was wondering if it was any good. Can anybody give me more information than I already have by reviews?

    It's on PS2 and PC, but in order to play on a PS2 you have to buy a hard-drive for your PS2 and hook your PS2 up to the internet. That means you can't use the "newer, slimmer PS2" to play FFXI. Also there's a (about) $15.00 subscription fee to play the game (+ $5.00 per extra character). If there's any other info you'd like, you should do a search for some reviews.

    It's $12.95 a month and only an additional $1.00 for extra characters.

    Is it any good? Well I like it, and my tastes are impeccable.

    You know, PS2 version also uses the internet. Anyways, you probably just have a really crappy PC if it doesn't work sometimes, get with the times. =P

    Seeing the differences from PC to PS2 PC's graphics are incredibly better than PS2! And if you do buy the game for PS2 you do get a hard drive. But sometimes the music does skip but later on the music in teh game will make you wanna scream around the fountain in windy! ^^

    Thought there are some good things about PS2 the controls I think are easier. But PC it just takes a bit of time to remember which finger goes where and what that button does. But the PC is much more convenient for keyboard and etc.

    Yeah, I find the keyboard to have much easier control than a controler. Mainly because there are so many functions to use. I use my fingers on the numpad (to move the character) and use my thumb on the arrow keys (to move the camera), and have my left hand based around the tab and CTRL+Function keys.

    I think the reason why the PC is better, is due to the high resolutions of the screen and texture mapping. But other than that the limitations come from the PS2. Still up there in graphics though.

    Being a PS2 player the controller and keyboard is just annoying to bother with somewhat....havin gto switch back and forth between them to do actions and do emoitons and write kinda distracting.

    But I like how you can just press the L3 button to heal and R1 to auto run! its all good get whatever you want!

    Like he said: "GET WITH THE TIMES"

    Having Windows XP doesn't mean that much, you have to have a good Graphic card, lots-o-memorie etc.

    It bugs me that people think if they have Windows XP their computer owns the house..
    My friend has Windows XP.
    His computer can barely play Starcraft.
