Video Game Reviews of Final Fantasy XI Vana'diel Collection 2008
Customer Review: Great, highly-recommended game, but I didn't have enough time.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have played many Final Fantasy games, and XI really brings the world to life by putting real people behind the characters. No more being "stuck" with the same old boring/not-so-boring NPCs, and more of a dynamic atmosphere. I like it. Like most MMORPGs, there is a lot designed to draw you in and keep you here.
As a white mage, I found death and soloing two particularly harsh aspects of my early life. After you get beyond level 10 (what most consider the stage where you are learning your limits and abilities), parties change things up a lot. I am sad I did not get to play much longer than this though.
I will leave you with my last warning: This game takes time. Real time. If you expect to get anywhere in this game, you have to set aside some time to play. Even walking places requires at least 10-20 minutes of your time, making sure your character doesn't get attacked by the stray goblin in the middle of nowhere. If you do not have time to devote to this game, wait until you do. I didn't have this kind of time to devote on a day-to-day basis -- not even a weekend-ly (is that a word?) basis because of college.
If you can get past all that, and if you are even remotely interested in XI, do some research, find a well-populated server, and go play! Though you may say its graphics are dated, I assure you it will still impress. And it's always better to try -everything- now for 20 dollars before you bolt in for 100 a year.
Best of luck.
