So much has not been discovered...

CoP marks the first major expansion of the FFXI world since its release to the US. This expansion does not add any new jobs or raise the maximum level you can attain in the game (still 75), but it does add many new areas, monsters, missions, quests, NPCs, recipes and equipment. The new areas are divided into those you can enter as soon as you install the expansion, and those which you need to complete missions to get to. The ones you can freely enter include new monsters, treasure and fishing areas, but are not hugely different than the areas adjacent to them. However, one thing I've learned is that there is more than meets the eye since many changes are below the surface and take many weeks for them to be discovered.

The areas that are locked out require quite a bit of work to get to. You will need to have a character of lvl 30, with appropriate equipment in order to complete 3 missions to gain access. Since there are a few job combinations that work well, you may need to start a new job, or gain a high enough level in that job to use it. This can be a big time commitment, however many people already have a job or two that they can use around level 30 so it's not terribly difficult to participate. Each of the missions may take between 1 and 4 hours to complete, and you will need between 6 and 18 players to help you. This makes it quite a hassle just to enter the new zones, so don't expect to be able to see everything advertised as soon as you install the game.

The areas that I have been in are absolutely breathtaking and the music fits the atmosphere of that area. There is a new beastman race that you can fight called Moblin, who have their own cities, culture and history. There are new super powerful dragons that give those that are already 75 something to do. One of these dragons took 30+ level 75 characters over 5 hours to kill. There are new recipes for crafters, new spells for mages, new avatars for summoners and new weapons and armor for melee jobs.

That being said, I still give this 5 stars based more on my experiences with the current game than on what is in the new expansion. It will take many months for people to complete all the missions and gain access to all the zones included in this expansion, which is really required to write a comprehensive review. This is probably the reason why very few review are posted.

Game was everything I thought it would be. However, they should let people know that only one person can use this game because of the coding. (It can't be shared). Also - why did Amazon raise the price $5.00 over what it was a week earlier?

This add-on to the original is needed to complete several quests, and adds new adventures. You already know how much fun the original is, this adds new jobs, as well as new items, and it is needed to get your ticket to Khazam.

For my husband.

This game which I bought is an expansion pack for an online role playing game. This online role playing game has to do with management skills as well as people skills. Its a never ending game that is very interesting plus frustrating. Like in real life one must team up with at least six
people to complete a mission and quest but at the same time one must choose a career in order to make money to survive. It is great demanding yet challenging to the mind.

This is an amazing expansion for the Final Fantasy Online game. It has the best story line, in mine and many others' opinion, and it grants acces to many important areas and items. To be very honest, this expansion is a must for Final Fantasy Online players.
