Hey, I was just wondering if it's worth it to pay for
a) the game
b) a network adapter
c) the expansion packs
d) the monthly subscription
e) anything else that might be needed (I have a USB keyboard)

I admit I've never really played any "official" MMORPGs, unless you want to count Ragnarok (which was dumb because there was seriously nothing to do besides socialize and level up.. for no reason.) But being an FF-loving girl (both the classics and the newer games) I was wondering if I should give it a shot.

So what are the strong points, weak points?
Also, how much is a monthly subscription anyways?
Last question, and I know it's rediculous but humor me anyways... if you were to play online every day as ONE character, how long would it be to complete all quests, etc. in the game? (That are available as of yet.) I've always been one of those people who have to have godlike characters, ultimate weapons and just overall have a perfect game before I'm satisfied with finishing it. It's not obsessive compulsion, it's just fun.

Thanks!
