    Its worth to buy, the game itself is pretty good. About the community is true but you can always couple up with some of onrpg. If my dad was paying i prob bought ffxi or aoc. But he doesn't <.<

    Anyways try ahead ^^ its really fun

    It's kind of the same, but something else entirely at the same time. The music and little typical FFish things like storytelling, moogles, chocobos etc. etc. do make it feel like any other Final Fantasy you'd play. But seeing how much bigger the world is compared to any FF out there and the fact you're a normal person in this world instead of a god wielding an oversized sword, it does tend to be completely different as well.

    nono. you were a help . My knowledge about the FF game is absent as well :P.

    thing that make a game a ff game are for me beautiful landscapes and so on.
    an that mix of future and medieval. And ofc fight animations, a good storyline and minigames D:

    Well, you can expect the landscapes. This has to be the first MMO where I sometimes paused a few seconds to admire the scenery. The game's mostly medieval from what I've seen, with some steampunkish stuff added to it as well.

    Story's said to be the most epic one seen in an FF game yet, but the storytelling does tend to be slow seeing, well, it IS an MMORPG.

    And you can pay an additional fee of about 1 dollar a month (I think) for the signature cardgame we've all come to enjoy in Final Fantasy.

    Hard to describe,

    the combat is fun,

    i got 30spells and 3 weapon skills and 1 2hr abbilitie.

    The gameplay in party's is fun, its killing stuff, but its not easy, some mobs kill the entire pt,

    Ex. I'm in the jungle, when i party there, we all need to watch out for goblins, some can murder us, goblins are aggressive mobs, they detect you by smell, sound, or by see-ing you


    I can run pass them with

    Invisable, sneak and deodorize lol.



    Also there is lots to do, i'm raising a baby chocobo

    so it's like DOMO and the only thing that stays forever is the race and appearance, which you chose at the very beginning?
    Oh and about the graphic:
    I've searched for some screens now and what I really didn't like at all were bad textures of the landscape. But then again, every game looks uglier on a screen than it actually is. I know that the game is old and all but is the graphics at least bearable?

    It's not like DOMO, DOMO is like it. =P

    Anyway, I don't mind the graphics so much.



    Floor textures are a bit ugly, but, other than that I quite like them.


    There are a couple of guides which take you through how to improve the graphics via registry edits, the effects are shown in my screenshots.

    That's pretty ugly. :3

    But, meh, I don't suppose you'll be looking at the floor that much. I don't mind it so much and I'm normally pretty strict about graphics.
    Sure, it's not the best there will ever be, but, I like them.

    I didn't like FFXI at all but there's a lot of people who do so you shouldn't have problems finding people to play with I guess. I regret buying it and if i had to recomend a P2P game it would be PSU. I enjoyed playing that a lot more but that's just me.
