    Default FFXI Or a PS2?

    Well I might be getting a job soon(Mary browns hahaha, a fast food joint in canada)and I was wondering, Should I go for FFXI or a ps2(I've already got a gamecube, ps1 and a xbox 360)I've loved past FF games(Especially ps2) and other games like it for the Ps2 so I was considering buying a Ps2 to play them. But I also want to give FFXI a good go to see if I truely like it as I've been looking for a good game with not much luck. I quit WoW mainly because of little player interaction, and the fact it was just no fun. So yes I am willing to p2p(Obviously). So what should I try/get, FFXI, or a Ps2?
    Thanks

    ps2 hands down!!

    think of all those awesome games!

    god of war
    shadow of colossus
    kingdom hearts
    ico
    devil may cry
    metal gear

    the list is endless

    ffxi was a complete bore after a while for me, ive given it a number of chances to impress me but its failed everytime.

    get a ps2 and download the trial of ffxi is my advice!

    personally i'd say get a ps2 and skip FFXI for a while and get some games for PS2, then if you want go try the free trial of FFXI.

    also FFXI is pretty much like this
    grind to 10
    party
    continue to grind.
    repeat

    Wrong

    Start off folow quests, (bastok) do mission 1, lvl a bit in the mines, while youre there, more newby missions, level to 8-9 new mission, Cid needs help, help him with his chemistry, and at 10-12 do the next mission get rank 2
    Meanwhile you might wanna do some quests too.
    10 - 18 level in the dunes, in party's
    16-17 Korrokola tunnel pt (RoZ if i'm correct)

    18 get a subjob, level it equip it, 20 Head to jueno,

    20-25 Qufim pt's
    25-30 Jungle pt's
    25, get rank 3
    30 unlock new jobs,
    (get rank 4)
    Start Chains of promathia storyline

    30-33 (maps near jeunno, or jungle) party's

    If you already have a 360 why not just buy it for the 360? Or am I missing something..

    How slow it took to kill one mob was just too restless for me + I got lost. But I did see people enjoying the game while I was roaming around and it seemed like fun.... for them. Great game never the less but wasn't for me. (The game took a pain in the.... to update and it wasn't worth it for me in the end) But don't make my comment stop you from playing;

    You want to get a PS2.

    I got mine in 2002 and i still play, and love that console, while my xbox 360 gave in after like a year or so, my ps2 lived for 6 and still does...

    the games i have played and loved make a BIG list... just to mention some really good ones.

    FFX (hands down the best FF game ever made... even better than FFVII and FFXI... yeah hyarume... it is)

    Kingdom Hearts 1-2 (don't even get me started on how epic these games are!)

    God of War 1-2 (again)

    Shinobi (it is the hardest game on the PS2... and it is totally worth it, ninja carnage at it's best)

    Disgea series (yeah, epic Tactical RPG)

    Soul Calibur 3 (oh man, so much better than SC4)

    Okami (japanese art style, playing as a wolf it's a lot of fun... if you don't like this game, you are not a human being)

    Devil may cry 1-2-3 (just... epic xD)

    Yakuza ( i don't know i just liked it)

    SPIDERMAN 2 (OH i almost forgot the best ever comic book game of alltime)


    Oh yeah and all of these have a story far better then ffxi... I love FFXI btw
    but yeah it's an mmo...

    all in all, FFXI isn't worth it... and i guarantee you, if you get a ps2 you will not regret it, for the rest of your life...

    so PS2= best choice (of a lifetime)
    FFXI= not so good choice (but still okay)

    Why not suck it up a bit and save up for a PS3? I heard the PS3 is backwards compatible with PS2 games. I see no need to buy a dated console when you can get a current gen one with backwards compatibility.

    Ps3 games suck ass for the most part(excluding little big planet and some others) so, 39.99>399 ?

    Honestly, get the PS2, online game is always a gamble for what you like or not

    Dragon Quest VIII
    Star Ocean 3
    Wild Arms 3
    Wild Arms 4 (not as good, but still good)
    Radiata Stories
    Devil May Cry series
    Disgaea
    Xenosaga
    Onimusha
    .HACK// series
    Rogue Galaxy

    etc... =D~
    altho there are some popular rpgs that i hated.... Kingdom Hearts >_> (over-rated)

    skip breath of fire, was a epic fail imo, super easy too.
