Well my friend wants me to play "FFXI" with him and he said hed pay for it etc etc but I'm hearing its 5 Cds and a 2-4 hour installation. Erm... anyone else see something a little wrong with that? The sims didnt even take that long.

Anyway, Is it worth it? I really dont know much about the game, only that you can make your own character and the way it looks. Anyone here play it? Just want some feedback.

Personally, I don't think any MMORPG is worth it. However, it is a final fantasy game. Why they gave FFXI a number and not FF Tactics, I don't know.

About the installation... Unreal 2004 comes on 6 discs. I had the DVD edition on a single disc and it only took maybe 5-10 minutes to install, and my computer runs at less than 1.5Ghz. If the installation really does take as long as your friend suggests, then I might want to recommend that you should defrag before you install it.

FFXI gets old... fast... You can lose experience you have just gained for two hours by getting killed once... It's sad. :(

I bought the game with high hopes, and less than 3 months later, it's back up in my room collecting dust, and I busted out the old DAoC. I'm hooked on CoH now though...

But yeah, FFXI is easy, boreing, and well...boreing

If you want to play a Fun game Get Fallout 2. It's been out for a long time so it's like 10 bucks plus some times it comes with Fallout 1.
No muss No fuss.

By far the most boring game I have ever played.

Nothing like the other FFXgames.

Because in order to truely enjoy the game you need to get to like, level 30.

And at the start, it takes an astonishly long time to level up. You walk outside and kill rabbits with the other new players... bleh.

Yea the killing of stupid bee's, rabits, and worms is gay and it takes like 5 hours of playing before you first level up because you die every other secound.


It also is a pain in the anus to move around from city to city because you go one speed and travel at a snals pace.



Im gonna have to say, theres better games on the Market.

Unless you have no life and have lots of time on your hands.

Indeed. You could be lvl 30 in D2 with no problem. In FFXI it's hard. Partying, and knowing when to use stuff. Much different then D2, and yes it takes many days to level, depending on parties and whatnot.
