Anyone play?
Anyone play?
It sucks horribly... or atleast it did back when it came out. Also, it's absolutely nothing like any FF game I've ever played.. it's just gay IMO.
installed it...played approx 3 hours, then uninstalled it...disappointment to becalled final fantasy
No siggy as of right now
LOL i am with the two above me. I spent $90 when it first came out for computer, installed it and played it and shit. Comes iwth two discs one for the MMORPG game and one for the Final Fantasy Card game, which was fun, but within 5 hours of playing i the game i snapped the MMORPG CD becuase it SUCKED! that game is fucking horrible!
This thread makes me laugh. I have heard the same thing, but I have never played it. I a couple friends that played it til they died once lost about 3 weeks worth of XP and they quit.
I spent about $500 on the game...
I had 6 copies of the game, included
1 Japanese Version
4 PC Versions
1 PS2 Version
It was a good game, people who said it sucked just haven't actually sat down and played a serious game...this game is a serious game, it's not a casual gamer who likes to play Madden NFL 2XXX (insert year here).
I probably put like 3 years into the game... and don't regret a minute of it... I got my money's worth.... if you know what I mean.
and that 3 weeks worth of EXP... I call bs... anyone who talks this game down I guarentee ...you have not played the game for more than 7 days gameplay (That's 24 hours x 7)
I stick up for this game because it's an elitist game, sort of like separating the casual players who look for instant results vs. the people who actually build and train... it's not meant to be finished overnight...for sakes you are paying to play and your character... you will get attached to it if you spent days/months/years making it.
No game can compare to it... if you want to get down onto nerd levels, I will say I have played this game through and through, but I quit recently due to school and work.
You can't enjoy this game if you have a life, school, work, girlfriend, or wife. Forget it.
Again , this is the absolute most hardcore game to date in terms of hours spent to build your character, ever.
^^^^^WOW, you have no clue what you are talking about. i have spent 4 years playing EQ ( Everquest), 2 1/2 playing Star Wars galaxies, and a year playing WoW. Ihave also played FFXI, City of heros, Matric Online, Lineage II, EQ2. So dont tell me my opinions of the game are wrong becuase they are not. FFXI SUCKED ASS!!!!! You play lvl 1-30 in one zone 30-45 in another zone and everything past ther ein the last zone. The game had no depth. Putting Jap. speaking chars on the same server as American speaking people, made the game twice as unfun. There was no individuality in the game at all. Everyon lookd the same. Trust me if i would have spent 24 playing that game, by the end i would have started sending death threats to the makers of the game. I will give it the only thing that made it fun was the side game the Final Fantasy Card Game which was fun as hell. Other than that the GAME SUCKED!!!!!!!
Oh an dthe best game out there that actually lets you LIVE a second life online is Star Wars, they had that figured down to the economy. Thre was no better though out game than that. But due to SOE not listening to its customers, that game will de literally dead by 07. Seeing as how every server has less than 1k of people on it. But probably the most fun game out there is World of Warcraft. That is probably the best RP game out there. but still nothing beats out Star Wars and its creativity.
....FFXI has more depth than any MMO to date, you haven't even explored/researched/played the game enough to know
EQ is not nearly as hardcore as FFXI... the only reason why you say EQ is hardcore is because dumbasses kill themselves because they accidentally deleted their character
SWG was downhill after they let everyone become a jedi, don't even bring that crap in here saying it was a quality MMO.
World of Warcraft is filled with 12 year olds at endgame crying about who gets the loot and who should get what... instead of concentrating on unity and sharing.
If you think Tetra Master was fun on POL...you haven't played Final Fantasy VIII (that's Final Fantasy 8) for PSX, and you seriously don't know anything about MMO's... sit down.
American games are all about playing solo and beating games in less than a year/month depending on the "depth"
Other countries focus on unity, which most Americans don't do... they are "independent" and divided.
If FFXI sucked so much, how come the people who actually spent the time to play the game enjoy it? maybe because you have no patience to sit down and play the game, you use other games to set the standard and expect instant results...
I have had tons of friends in FFXI who once played EQ and agreed that FFXI was better/more hardcore than EQ ever was...so don't try to flower other MMO's as "better"... stick to your console games.
Oh yeah, there's something called an Auto-Translate function, but I guess you never figured out to learn the entire system?
I'm not sure if you know this, but everyone else can speak more than one language in the rest of the world, so why don't you take some time to learn another language? Learning the Japanese language was never a disadvantage.
You spent $90 on the game? The game retailed at $50 for PC... did you buy it off of ebay or something? There was no collector's edition for FFXI.
You can spend years doing something, but how much time in those years did you spend playing the game? For all I know, you could've played 10 minutes a day for 3 years and that's why you're so mad...the game requires dedication, which you do not have.
Hey Outphase, go off yourself. Just because someone happens to think the game sucks major cock'n'balls, doesn't mean they don't know what they are talking about, or makes the opinion invalid. Get over your "elitist" ego, and shut the fuck up. k thx.
omg omg the game is so hardcore, wowwowowowow, just shut the fuck up... it's a game, (a shitty one at that) quit talking about it like it's a fucking way of life.
Hey guess what... you don't know anything about the game.
I know all I needed to know.. There's no point in trying to get too far into a game that obviously sucks. I gave the game a week, thats MORE than enough time to find out if a game is worth paying monthly for.Originally Posted by Outphase
That's why they give you 30 Days free. Don't lie.
WOW same here i gave it enough time to know it was going to suck ass.Originally Posted by HyPer50
Also dont tell me i dont know MMORPS's!!!1 I have played evreyone out there. Also i will agree with you saying that SOE's "jedi" idea lead to the down-fall of SWG. But before that the game was unsirpassable!!!! There was no better game ever thought out. They had the way of life, housing, clothing, professions, economy, and even fighting system, and even forced there to be unity. You couldnt go on in the game without friends! FFXI was stupid, and had very little thought into it. Also you preach that the game was so great, but if you look at any poll it shows that FFXI was the lowest rated MMORPG out there! and had the lowest population!
Guess what... you don't know what you're talking about.

And you probably have an xbox with all the madden games because they have updated stats? or is it the basketball games you buy?
I played it for about a year...I thought it was pretty cool till you got to the higher levels, then its a bitch to find a party unless you are a mage with the money for the best equip and spells....I was a sam/war...and could not get any higher then level 32, so I said fuck this, I was wasting so much time just sitting there waiting for a party. this game is good when you actually know people who play it and have certain days you play to lvl up. I did like it though
WOW someone who aggreed with FuckPhase here!!!!! well looks liek its 10-2 know!!!![]()
Maybe the people who enjoy it say its great cause they spent all the time playing? not the other way around. If you go on EQ2... all the ppl doing the highend stuff are going to say EQ2 is best. same for WoW and EVERY OTHER MMRPG.Originally Posted by Outphase
I played EQ for 4 years. and WoW for a solid year. There isnt an MMPRG out there right now that i enjoy enough to continue to play, however, i'm going to give FFXI another chance when it comes out on Xbox360. But, I'm not going to sit there and suffer through hour upon day upon month if all that sucks to get to the high end content.
Most MMRPGs work this way... Get in when its created and play from the start and stick with it through every xpansoin and you'll love it. Get in and try to play catch up and struggle to finaly get to high end content, and you'll hate it. Generally speaking.
None-the-less, quit acting like a God among Nerds. Your not God. Your just the crazy guy standing on a soap box on the corner in Atlanta screaming "Repent now, the end is ear" if even that
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
I always thought that Matrix Online looked interesting...has anyone tried that?

Haha, dont play sports games, and I will always game on my PC. Nice try though, I know it must be strange to learn that you don't know as much about games as you thought.Originally Posted by Outphase

it's alright for awhile. by the time the free month is up you'll have got about all your going to out of it.Originally Posted by illeagle
dam man, thats what i did, i played through the free 30 days, and was like, man this is boring. Its got some pretty fun fight programs, but other than that its not a game that you would want to get "into"Originally Posted by HyPer50
is it true that the story plays off of the last movie?Originally Posted by TransAxle
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
No it starts out from the 1st movie. You start out with a crappy red pill blue pill scene, and listen as Morpheus and Trinity track you on video, and then you kind ajust get pulled into the game. IT was nt the worst mmorpg by far, but it was no where near the best. THe only thing i really liked about it was its fight system, that was pretty tight.Originally Posted by EP3sAreFun
well... it does kind of branch off the last movie, cause neo is missing/dead... or atleast thats as far as the ingame story was when i got into it.
Thats what i thought. In the matrix movie dvd i have it talks about the game some.Originally Posted by HyPer50

Yep... so you mean to tell me everyone who has played FFXI has been wasting their time? The best thing about FFXI is that there's no high-level newbie kids who whine about loot... aka World of Warcraft or Insert Random MMO here.
FFXI was not meant to appeal to American gamers who enjoy "solo" play and "instant" level up results.
FFXI is focused on unity, elitism, and crucial gameplay... rather than just button mashing and allowing for tons of screw ups to go through without any penalties.
Again, just because you played (insert random game here) for a week and thought it sucked, doesn't mean you actually knew what you were doing.
Games have these things called learning curves where you learn how to play the game. You can't sit there and say you learned how to play FFXI in a week and said it sucked, if you have... then explain in detail how the game is supposed to be played.
man, just shut your mouth already. You act like this is a damn religoius debate or something.Originally Posted by Outphase
and once again. what your describing is how EVERY MMORPG's END-GAME CONTENT IS!!!! so, shut up already.
Mine really dosn't leave the garage. People across the street think it is a tool bench.
hell i'll start playing again if anyone else wants tooI thought the game was fun when you had a static party

So this is why Outphase is agruing so his meaningless life doesnt seem to meaningless!
The whole point of playing games is for fun/entertainment, it shouldn't be like work. If the game can't even keep me entertained for a week, there's no way i'm going to waste my time/money trying to find something fun about the game. /end topic. Fine, you love FFXI, good for you, glad you enjoy it, definatly not a game for me, but that doesn't make me "lesser" than you as you seem to be implying.Originally Posted by Outphase
Pretty much shows how ignorant all of you actually are... you have no idea how much money I've made off of this game. (I'm talking real money), so just because I sound like I'm serious, maybe it's because I am? People dumber than you are willing to pay for virtual currency in exchange for real money because they're too lazy to spend time to get money.
Well damn, If anyone wants to or still plays let me know so I can get you into our server.
