thats a no brainer for any final fantasy fan, being me i would go with FFXI trust me its great! but then again i love star wars to but im not gonna pay for two games a month and when it comes to rpgs square is the best hands down! also depends on what type of rpg you like i guess.

hahahaha SWG is nice... i never thought i would love a game that much.. it made me relize how obsolete CS really is... Still playing CS is like sticking with your nintendo when the Super Nintendo's came out.... LoL

I have this cool gadget I bougt at Target for $10. It s the original joystick with a/v plugs. It has 10 games built into the paddle.

Adventure
Asteroids
Breakout
Circus Atari
Centipede
Gravitar
Missle Command
Pong
Volleyball
Can't remeber the last one

You can find them online for about $15. My 3 yr old loves to (try to) play. He does good at Asteroids.

I bought Final Fantasy the day after it was released. Took about 2-3 hours to install and download patches and then I played it for 2 days. I switched back to CS real quick. I kept getting lost in the big city and I couldn't understand what half the people were saying (Japanese). I've played Ultima Online (5 years) and Dark Age of Camelot (2 years) before and enjoyed them both. I think if you aren't a Final Fantasy fan, then you won't enjoy the game much.

It was out for a day and you had to patch it??? WTH is that??? That alone would piss me off enough to not wanna give it a fair chance.

its been out in japan for like what a year so of course they would have updated it in that time. thus the patching which wasn't that bad people. the cities aren't much bigger than swg and overall i think its a more solid game. the missions are explained simply enough and arent that hard to do if ur not a retard. most of them r easy and take no time to do. the gameplay goes basically exactly the same as swg or daoc as far as fighting. they have many techniques u can use and alot of diff. classes which can be subclassed which means u can do two jobs at once and use skills from both to maximize the abilities of ur character. if u don't like parties u can lvl solo just as easy as in a party. and the japanese people are the nicest peoples u'll ever play with (if u can get that "ONE" who understands english") they will help u alot if they can like i've met a few who helped me get my subjob which took me 1 or 2 hours but would have taken me 5 or 6 hrs maybe even a day. and u dont have to see their lang. they6 have options to were u only see what u want to. overall i play it a crap load of the time which is why i haven't been playing cs at all. and u don't have to be a fan of final fantasy to like it. i'd say u could know nothing about it and get the same thing if not more than u do from swg and daoc. its a great game plain and simple no matter how u look at it.

I think I was just expecting a different type of game when I bought it. Maybe I didn't play long enough to give it a chance, but I personally didn't find it enjoyable. When I logged in everyone was running around with pumpkins on thier heads looking like walking Jack O' Lanterns and alot of the text that came across my screen was Japanese (guessing here, cause it sure wasn't English). The graphics are good and I do like the job/sub-job concept, but the game just doesn't do it for me. If anyone wants a cheap copy let me know. The free month is over with, but I'll sell it for $20-$30 to make up for it. Still in mint condition since I moved to a new house 2 days after buying it and it hasn't left the box since I moved.

heheh yea u won't really see much jap chat now a days i only see it like once or twice in town or when i ask someone if they want to group and all i get is silence or a bunch of emotes followed by "I Dunt Spake English ^^;;" thats about all they can say. and the pumpkin thing was for halloween it was a special deal were u could do a mini quest to get the jak o lantern hat, a bat wand, or some fireworks. each of which has some sort of helpful side effect or atleast looks neat. sure its not for everyone and i didn't get used to it at 1st either. but i gave it a chance and after a day or so i got used to it and now can't stop playing it.
