Well i am going to start playing on my 360 need some server help.

[Gizim]

I got a 61inch Widescreen i think FF will look great on (I would play on the PC but i run Ubuntu) and im looking for a server that is mostly American or atleast English speaking any ideas on a good one? Also how does chatting work on a 360? I know you are with PC and PS2 players as well but how do you know if someone has a 360 version so you can voice chat? i guess i need a keyboard hum?

Keyboard, YES

Server doesn't matter, mixture of nationalities on all servers, plus with the auto translate you can party regardless, if you have friends who play, jump on their server, if not, just grab one and make some friends. Really your first 10-15 lvls should be solo with most job sets and unless you are absolutley determined to play something specific you should try out all the jobs to that range. That will give you additional monetary resources in which to further your development as well as an appreciation for the mechanics of the game and how your future party members play. Also once you sub job you will need an additional complimentary job to use as your sub.

There is nothing more frustrating to me as 30-40 lvl players who dont understand how my SA, TA and SATA work and who stand to the side of me and of the main tank pulling hate sideways.. this is exactly why power leveling is stupid, you end up with 35-40 level rank 2 players who have no idea how to work party mechanics, they just figure they can stand anywhere and swing away..

Trust me take the time, and learn your job and the jobs of others.

Good louck and welcome, regardless of what server you choose!!

Yes you need a Keyboard...but you can still use Xbox live's private chat since it's running in the background. The trouble is you can't always count on everyone you meet playing on a 360...plus I hear the private chat feature is rather limited is scope...

All the servers are mixed in with everyone but it depends on the time of day whether or not you find more JPs, NA people(us) or EU people(Europe and the UK). Personally I feel this is a good thing...I mean you want firends to do missions with but whe you're leveling up it doesn't matter that much. I wouldn't say JPs are infallable but I've had some of my best XP partys as the only english speaking player in a party fulll of JPs...

You don't "need" a keyboard, infact the game plays a ton better with a controller. I'd honestly wait untill the keyboard adapter for the 360 comes out.

i agree game plays better with a controller cause the only time i use keyboard on xbox is to talk to people other than that its all controller. But typing using the controller can be very annoying and will take 5min to type something that would take 5sec with a keyboard.

If you don't have a keyboard, you basically cut yourself off from the community. Without community, FFXI is a total piece of shit, so yes, get a keyboard.

i run Ubuntu

I like you already.

Which Logitech keyboard did you get?
Funny Logitech is all about working with a 360 but dear god don't ask for a native linux driver for there 123 button mice.
