QUOTE(metaldevil @ Jan 25 2006, 09:37 AM) 
By the time I finished setting it up, I was not motivated to play. I finally picked it up a few days later. This is the first MMORPG I've ever played. I have a PS/2 keyboard not USB. So when somebody asks me a question online, I'm limited to entering "hi," "no," or "ok." This one guy (I'm assuming he had a keyboard) asked me where to find such and such place and if certain items do certain things. The guy damn near wrote an essay. So I'm standing there like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest: useless. I hit the power button and went to go get drunk.
This game's biggest fault is not having voice chat. I don't know wtf Sony was thinking when they decided to let console gamers sans USB keyboards enter text with a controller. Voice chat should be mandated.
I could care less if they left the graphics looking like crap. I just want to be able to ask someone where I can find a certain object instead of having them wait 15 minutes for me to type it out on the damn controller.
I'm not going to go out of my way to buy a PS/2-to-USB adapter. Why should I? When will the purhasing-of-extra-shit-I-never-needed-before end? I agree with what some people have been saying: this is the most expensive console out. You have to keep buying this, that, and the other fuckin' thing just to play comfortably. Tremendous.
you can buy one of those little usb keyboards for PS2

You're funny. I didn't mean PS2 like in PlayStation 2. I meant as in IBM PS/2 port. The PS stands for Personal System. It was a mid/late eighties computer that was a giant hit. It's comparable to the iPod in popularity. You couldn't go anywhere back then without seeing one. Here's what the adapter looks like:
It's only $5, but I'm not going to get it just to run back and forth with my PC's keyboard. I find purchasing a keyboard even less appealing. All these extra purchases are just silly. I didn't buy Steel Battalion because of the $200 price tag, and the fact that only two games in the Xbox's library support it.

So I installed it after 3 hrs yesterday. Got to play for 10 mins, then went to sleep. Today I turn it on and, "some data might have been corrupted, because i didnt use the exit viewer button" Are they fucking kidding? It wants me to update again, as if ffxi was never installed. WTF! Looks like sony is going to get the shaft from me again. Oh yea, and this game is a piece of shit......played 10 mins and felt like i was playing something from the 90's.
everytime i go in the game it gives me that error but i never have to update it just checks a few files

FFXI has horrible graphics too.
sure in 480p they suck but if you play it in a high definition mode its really not that bad. looks a hell of a lot better than WoW does to me.

Why bother. The comment about it feeling like a 90's game is true. Played it when it first hit PC and it sucked nuts back then.
it was fun for about a year... but it got old after that
that same damned annoying music!

thats the beautiful thing about the 360. just stream over your entire mp3 collection and put it on random. i do it every time i play so i dont even know what the default music is.

The best part about this game is when you go to uninstall it from you Hard Drive and get back your 5GB of space...

after taking forever to install and figuring out what i need to do and all the updates i played for 15 mins before turning it off. the text was small so it was hard to read some stuff. i have no idea what my health is i cant read it. i walked out of the town finally found a monster that someone wasnt attacking and it killed me. next time around i do a little better i kill a monster but i am almost dead. i ran back to my house to heal and i was done with the game. before i left i ran around town looking to figure out what to do. i think i might have to head over to gamefaqs to figure out the best way to start.

He could have just mashed everything together.
I for one like FFXI, but I doubt I will pay for it.
I just do not have the time to sink to be hard core at it.

Well, at least he tried to space his sentances out.

ok this is true, at least they are spaced and for that i am sorry ray.
but i totally agree that its not worth paying for every month but at least now that its free then it looks like a great game to me. i guess theres a real learning curve on it.
