Anyone playing?

I played this for a little while. It was neat but felt really dated. I hated how you couldnt see the enemies level

It feels weird on a PC playing as it feels like a console game

I have kept away from this game because it looks good, but you level way to slow. I would rather feel like I'm accomplishing something than sitting at lvl 12 half of the time I'm playing.

Never played it. I was going to, but all my friends told me that it's not really fun and that the economy is messed up. I may try it sometime though. Who knows? :p

Me and my IRL friend would play it if we had credit cards. But then WoW came and there was 60 day game cards so we decided to try it. My not-so-RL friend plays that, says that it's unbelievable and that we should try it. Maybe if I get Visa someday...

Played it for a while.
Really smooth and almost bugfree, at least I didn't find any critical ones.

Looks really nice and the whole world connects europe, US and japanese PC/Playstation together, meaning there is always someone around.
There is a limited translation system for english/japanese too.

But alot of grinding and camping and a general impression that if you dont have the most expensive gear you're not worth having in your party. Also tricky to team with members that is too different in levels.

I've played FFXI alot. I really enjoyed the game, eventhough it was a bit "stiff". The graphics and music is great and I espcially liked the different classes and races. The worst thing about the game, as mentioned by another user, is the slow lvl'ing. You need a group in order to raise your lvl after lvl 12 and that really sucks. It can be hard to find a group that suits your lvl, because you need to find other players at the same lvl or + / - one lvl. I quit the game when the european version of Wow was released.

I've seen some movies from that game, pretty awesome love story going on in there with Yuna and that other guy... Except for that I've only played the old pokemon style Final Fantasy games, which were fun.

Hehe. The Pokemon style FF games owned!! ^.^

Yup, but what kind of confuses me is that from the old FF games I figured the game was set back in time, yet in a movie I saw some years ago.. it was in 3d animated it was in the future. But yet FFXI is set in an old world again... old as in monsters and swords etc.. the movie had robots and laser guns and whatnot. Was a crap movie anyways.
