3.0 out of 5 stars Read this one July 2, 2011

If your thinking about joining now is really a pretty good time. Reasons being Abyssea pretty much made everything in the last 4 expansions obsolete. Why is that a good thing you might ask? Well unlike other MMOs when an expansion comes out the level cap is raised and everyone moves onto new content. FFXI had stayed at 75 since US Launch and this meant that every expansion had its own endgame. Because of this your "Best in Slot" gear came from one or two pieces from each type of endgame which meant you would be spending a very long time trying to get anything done.

But thanks to Abyssea the level cap is now 99 and any older content such as Quests & Missions can now be solo'd or Low manned. Abyssea itself is the same way, most content can be done in small groups. With the exception of a few mega bosses.

Update: WoW I wrote this review over a year ago. Just to update some things. If you're starting fresh now actually creating a account is a little bit of a headache. You first need to create a "Square Enix Account" Just google search that and you'll find the website. After you make & account login then on the bottom left under "Services and Options" click Select Service then click PlayOnline / FINAL FANTASY XI. You should see the Final Fantasy XI logo near the center of your screen to the right are 2 buttons. "Add a service account" & "PlayOnline" Click PlayOnline there is where you enter your Activation Key Amazon sent you. Keep in mind your PlayOnline account & Square Enix account are different so either use the same password for both or write these passwords down somewhere.

Now you're almost done. After you download and install PlayOnline in its little window click "Add Member" and enter the account info you just made where it asks.

Hopefully that helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars No better time to jump in to (or for some, return to) this game! May 16, 2011

By Justin D. Clay

My review is short, simple, and sweet:

FFXI is quicker, easier, and MORE FUN to play. Everything is so much more realistic in terms of playability and reward is far more frequent than when this game began 9 years ago.

If you've been thinking of trying or even returning, honestly there's no better time than now!! Also, now is a prime time especially since you get that Destrier Beret for starting with this collection! That thing's amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing game :) May 20, 2011

By Xcision

I played this game for a little bit when it was released for xbox 360 but found it too difficult to level or even find people around the starting area's. But when I saw this I figuered "oh what the heck I guess I'll give it another shot" and I'm so glad I did. They made soloing much easier and with the bonus item leveling is much easier now. The game also has lots of new players now which is great because I love to do quests with other players. I reccomend this to anyone that loves MMO's from the casual to the hardcore.

p.s. - If you do some searching through google you can find this for $9.99. With that kind of deal it just wouldn't make sense not to buy this game ;)
