Final Fantasy XI PS2

Pros: Easy to learn, huge world, many people online, fun, involving, change classes any time.

Cons: Addicting, fit around real life, only for RPG enthusiasts

The Bottom Line: Buy only if you are interested in RPGs and if you have a lot of time to play video games.

Review: In a world where nothing is free and MMORPGS (Massively-Multiplayer On-Line Role Playing Games) are years old by now, the fact that people are still shocked at companies charging prices for server upkeep and expansion, salaries and wages for employees, ...

Pros: Addictive, fun, (mostly) nice, helpful people online.

Cons: Expensive, Time Suck(game term - means you will play it for many hours)

The Bottom Line: Great for anyone who enjoys Everquest, or other MMORPG's, and a must try for anyone who loves the Final Fantasy titles.

Review: Ok, I wrote this review for the PC version of this game, but have since purchased the PS2 version, and the ONLY differences I have found are that you much purchase a bit more hardware, so it is a bit more costly, and that the graphics are not as gorgeous ...

Pros: beautiful graphics/music, very social, huge world, tons of things to do, years of gameplay

Cons: monotonous sometimes, time consuming, addicting, can't quit suddenly because of parties, hard to get gil

The Bottom Line: Buy it if you like MMORPGs, free-form playing, and games you can play with your friends. If you like structured plots and permanent endings, don't bother with it.

Review: This is a great game for hardcore FF gamers. It does require a lot of teamwork, though. After the first twenty hours of play, you'll be hard pressed to keep alive and get far without at least one other person in your party. This does make it very time ...

Pros: Excellent product would recommend to anyone with teenagers!

Cons: Purchased video game over a year ago and have yet to have any problems.

Review: I purchased this video game for my son, and he loves it. He still plays with it continuously, and we have owned this game over a year. Many games once you beat it they are a waste of money, but not with this online interaction video game. Your children ...

Pros: A fun MMO, who'da thunk it, numerous add-ons and updates already

Cons: Registering the game requires a degree in advanced fart physics

The Bottom Line: All these FFXI PC reviews here...tsk tsk.

Review: Since Ultima Online gave birth to the idea of a role-playing game that put hundreds of thousands on servers to adventure on together, the MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online RPG) genre has grown to be one of the biggest on the PC. Games like Ultima ...

Pros: addicting, fun, making friends, time waster

Cons: addicting, time waster

The Bottom Line: If you're going to buy an MMORPG, get FFXI, it's worth the money, whether you get it on PS2 or PC.

Review: There are many things an MMORPG, which stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, can do to you, both good and bad. Almost ALL of them have a monthly fee, usually around 8-12 bucks a month, with a free start-up month. Some ...

Pros: Massive game world with tons of gameplay options.

Cons: The game is almost too massive and there need to be more character models.

The Bottom Line: Hardcore MMORPG fans will definitely want to play this. Casual gamers may want to wait for a more traditional Final Fantasy instead.

Review: About a year or so ago, someone suggested labeling massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) with a warning sticker not all that different from the one found on cigarettes. The games, these people argued, were as addictive as nicotine ...

Pros: Great animations and gameplay seems good so far; can play online with many other characters.

Cons: Installation process is odious; monthly fee is a bit high.

The Bottom Line: Horrible installation process.. Price was a bit high, but monthly fee is the worst part. Gameplay seems good so far. Verdict still out on storyline and fun factor.

Review: OK folks, unlike all the other reviews under this category at the moment which focus on the PC version of the game that's been out for some months, this review is actually about the Playstation 2 version of the game which came out last week. So let's get ...

Pros: Highly social game, nice graphics, job system.

Cons: Forces you to party, moneymaking, repeated character and enemy models, extremely expensive (PS2).

The Bottom Line: A decent MMORPG in the vein of previous FFs. The resemblance is there but make no mistake, this isn't a perfect game and takes some getting used to.

Review: When I heard that the latest Final Fantasy game was going to be online I wasn't particularly happy. This is a series of games that, I reasoned, had always been single player and should remain that way. When FFXI did come along it was also extremely ...

Pros: Decent graphics and overall good music..

Cons: $13 monthly fee? No storyline? and can you say... BORING?

The Bottom Line: The game is simply flat-out slow and boring. Certainly not worth $50 $13 /month

Review: To start off let me just explain that ePinions has not yet added Final Fantasy XI for the PC to its database, which is why I'm writing my review here. I have the PC version as you may have guessed, but I doubt it differs TOO much from the ...
