Hello ffxionline.com,
Im very very new to this forum/FFXI online. Ive read a few threads about the game mechanics and what its about. But now i come to you all who have experience in the game, for a little more information about the gameplay and whatnot.
To start......i dont know what i should buy 1st....should i buy the game to start or just buy all 3 ( the game and the 2 expansions )?. That there is really what i need to know 1st so i dont go spendin money on things i dont need now. Ok now.....I know theres a grind and i dont mind that. i just want some good ole FF adventure and i want to play and have fun with other people who enjoy this game. Ive played FF for a long time... (before 7), but from what ive read it seems this is very different from the single player FF. A Friend of mine is trying to drag me into World of War Craft, but i really dislike the graphics/the feel that i got while playing the trial demo. Im Currently playing RF- Online...witch is a great game pvp wise but the grind is horrendous. I dont think people have yet to see that, that game will always be a continous, " kill this creature 20 times" or party and kill this ace mob 500 times to get half a level or 1 level. There are updates with nice guild stuff but behind all that the other planets are just other places to grind on. Anyway i dont want to go off to far into that so back to FFXI.
I plan on being a black Mage. I like to deal damage, and that caught my intrest. At 1st i wanted to be a summoner but as i read up on it, it dawned on me that that class is not so good untill endgame ( witch is kind of a turnoff for me ). And i ran the Nvidia.coms cpu test thingy and it said that my comp should be able to play the game to its fullest. But then i downloaded the FFXI benchmark tester and with the lil bitty guys dancing around and the chocobos running around there where alot of hard frame drops ( 6800GTO, 3200+amd 1gigmem ect ect ). Im sure you guys get many people asking the, "will this run", question so if knowbody responds...ill understand. I dont really hear much about this game anymore since its release. All i hear about is WoW and thaz about it. so..to the ones who have played this game for a while......hopefully i will get some responces with some information because i want this game and i want to enjoy it. But i also want to know some of your views on what you think about the game, and what the online FF adventure is like.
