"Final Fantasy XI is an acquired taste, and one that was built for playing on the sofa rather than on the PC. It's a pity that Square couldn't have served up something more ambitious for our first online RPG, but at least it means we get an RPG that's had three years of being knocked into shape.

"So it's dissapointing that instead of the mind-shattering experience that should properly claim "first MMO" honors, we get Final Fantasy XI--a port of a four-year-old game. [July 2006, p.78]"

this game cannot be reviewed.as a player of ffxi for over 3 years now i cannot honestly say that with so much contect and now 20 unique jobsthis game cannot be reviewed.as a player of ffxi for over 3 years now i cannot honestly say that with so much contect and now 20 unique jobs there is absolutly no way in the world this game can be correctly reviewed without at least having one 75 job/several missions complete and at least one full expansion pack.im sorry but i used to have respect for magazines like games master but to give a game a 66 score talk about sittin on the fence!all i will say is 1.this is the biggest and the best mporpg there is nothing comes close 2.its final fantasy to the core 3.takes up a lot of dedicated time with more staisfying results than any other game i know of 4.its fee based per month but when u realise the amount of uddates we get new content and task forcing of gilsellers,it sooooo worth it.so if u love final fantasy,love online rpg have time to spare and are patient then you will enjoy ffxi.as for one of the comments i read about noobs being left to learn for themselves-Wrong mayb that was just u-but there are lots of linkshells that are willing to help out new players including my own.… Expand

Oh my Final Fantasy XI what can I say, it is the first MMO I truly fell in love with. As all my reviews with MMO’s start out the same as I’veOh my Final Fantasy XI what can I say, it is the first MMO I truly fell in love with. As all my reviews with MMO’s start out the same as I’ve been playing MMO most all my life and they are my favorite type of game to play. As this review is being done on 9/7/2013 that’s how I’ll be looking at the game as it stands now. I’ve done a review of the PC version so check that out. For me the XBOX 360 version of this game is disappointing in my eyes. It’s an older game on a 7th generation console and it look exactly the same as the ps2 version of the game with the exception of higher resolution text textures for HDTV’s SE just lazily ported over the ps2 version with no effort to make it look any better. The game for xbox has long load time, lag in area of more then 10 people and textures look exactly the same as the ps2. If you need to play it on a console then yes the xbox 360 version of the game is your best choice. It should be noted that the PC supports controllers as well and look great for the age of the game with high resolution textures. I did use the xbox version out on my big screen for a bit till I build a HTPC, now I just use a wireless xbox 360 controller adapter and sit on the couch with a wireless keyboard. The game is still a 10 out of 10 for me but I wish SE put a little more effort to making it look more like the pc version of the game not just port over the ps2 version.… Expand

Morris N. gave it a10: " let me tell you getting into this game require commitment! At first when I picked up this game I have no idea how to play except killing monsters. Then I discovered the Auction House, Fishing, Crafting, Moogle, and the enormous hugh world out there. It caters to not just mindless fighting but also other aspects of life. And most importantly, the balanced design of various job-class-race allows infinite combination of partying (especially if you get into skillchains.) The monthly fees took me some time to get used to, but the frequent updates/improvement/enhancement made it worth every penny."
