4.0 out of 5 stars A deep, enjoyable MMO., May 15, 2010

This review is from: Final Fantasy XI The Ultimate Collection (Video Game)

Final Fantasy XI was first released on the Playstation 2 back in 2002. It then went to the PC, and now on the Xbox 360.

The 360 Ultimate Collection is what I'm reviewing, so let's do a recap of what's offered.

You get the original game, in all it's glory. It's a deep, in-depth MMORPG, with a HUGE class selection, HUGE job profession list, auction houses, sprawling cities, and a world that makes WoW look pathetic in size.

The game starts out slow, like many MMO's, but once you gain a few levels, get the hang of questing and missions, you'll start having more and more fun. Exploring is very rewarding as well.

The class system will be familiar to ANY oldschool FF players. You start out with Warrior, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage, Monk, and Thief.

There's other classes, but they cannot be accessed without doing a quest, and reaching certain levels.

I wont give them all away, but a few are Dragoon, Bard, and Dark Knight. So yeah, tons of class depth, and options available to the player.

Now what's so awesome about THIS particular version is it comes with all of the expansions, plus 3 add-ons! You get the great game, expansions, and add-ons for an insanely low price! it is truely UNBEATABLE!

Things to note however ARE: The 360 version feels clunky, and you can tell it wasn't really intended for the 360 system.

The graphics are dated, and very PS2 quality. This is not a remake, it's the PS2 game simply brought to the 360.

With that said, the players that use the PS2 version, or the PC version can still play with the 360 users! everybody shares the same world.

There's also a bug with the 360 version that if you turn the game off while playing, using the xbox button on the controller, the game data will be corrupt. You HAVE to quit the game using the in-game menus!

If you're looking for a great MMO with very minor bugs but a HUGE world and a TON of depth, this IS the MMO for you. Likewise, if you're new to MMO's but love the Final Fantasy franchise, you will likely love this game.

And of course, the Ultimate Collection is definitely THE way to go.

I've been playing this game since it first came out and absolutely love it. When I purchased an X-Box this game was a must have as a collector and it also includes the newest expansion packs that were offered in 2009. It's a good MMORPG that doesn't include a lot of blood shed and there is always something to do and people from all over the world to get acquainted with.

Ignore the crappy ratings that a couple of morons have given this game here.. (Seriously, just do a little homework before you buy *anything* online and you'll make better decisions - it really is that simple!)

This IS the ultimate *FFXI* collection -- you get everything that cost others TONS of money all packaged into one little $15-$20 deal.

I've been playing FFXI since October of 2004 and while it is a huge time-sink, I have had some INCREDIBLE experiences with this game. I have met some amazing people and we've accomplished a lot together but no matter how much you actually do, there's always plenty more to do as well. I dare say this has become my most beloved gaming experience and my favorite game of all time. =)

Yes, it costs $12.95/mo to keep your account active.
Yes, you can try it for one month absolutely free.
Yes, you will get hooked and you won't mind paying the monthly fee. lol ^^

Also, you do not have to have an XboxLive GOLD account to play this game online.
You simply need to register and get yourself a *FREE* XboxLive SILVER account for this game.
