PC better than Xbox

I've been playing this game over 4 years and have logged over 365 days play time.. Yes, average of 6hrs a day. I have 3 systems, PC, PS2 and Xbox360. I bought the Xbox to run this game only. I was hoping for a higher quality image compared to the PS2, but it isn't. This could be due to the flat screen TV I have, but that is not my main problem.
I've been running my Xbox for about 5 months now, 24/7. The problem with this system is the disc is required to be in the tray and it constantly spins, unlike the PS2 version and PC that play from the hard drives. My Xbox now has a hard time reading the disc and I have to smack it a few times to get it to read. (maybe due to dust build up?) It has also locked up a few times during battle and required a restart (over heating maybe?). I disconnected the Xbox system this weekend and plan to shutdown my 3rd account.
Some quick notes for new players/people interested:
1. PC is much better quality than other systems.
2. This game is HUGE. Even with the amount of time I've played, I've only experienced less than 50% of the thing to do/places to go. This is mainly because I'm stationed overseas in a Japan timezone. (Hard to join large groups of english speaking people to do large scale events).
3. You will need a PC/Internet access in order to look up information on quests/missions/monsters/gear/guides, ect.. Otherwise you will have a hard, boring time trying to figure stuff out and/or trying to locate items or places.
4. If you don't have the time to play a couple days a week, don't bother. This game is on-line only, you can't pause it or hit the "save" button.
5. Be prepared to kill hundreds/thousands of low level monsters to make money off the items they drop so you can buy gear/spells/food/ect.. You can do this while "looking for party" to level up.
6. There are a total of 20 jobs you can chose from, but you only start out with 6 available (I think 6). You can start unlocking other jobs when you meet the level requirement of 30 (lev 75 is max) and perform the required quest. Some other RPG games lock you in as 1 main job from what I understand.

This is the only game I play (for the most part) and I have no intentions of playing any other RPGs on-line.
See ya around, maybe!

First off, I want to say that this is an ONLINE MASSIVELY ONLINE ROLE PLAYING GAME, which means it incurs a monthly fee. This is the main complaint I hear from people. Yet, the ironic thing is the price is the same as WoW.

Beyond that, this game is great for those who like hardcore MMO's. There are monsters that will kill you in one hit. Even then, when you are strong enough to kill that monster, you get a HUGE sense of accomplishment, which is why I must recommend it.

Very fast shipping

Its a great game. The learning curve is very steep, esp since most players are now 2-3 year vets. But if u stick with it and find yourself a good linkshell (social group) you can pick it up real fast. I have it on PC and just wanted to play on my 40" sony lcd

Ok game but....

The game is a fun game and usualy a final fantasy fans must have but the thing i think everyone must know about the game and most all online games that i have plaied anyway have no underling storie line. Now I havent plaied all the oline games out there so that may not be true for all games but for this one it is. For a storie line on ffxi you can make your own for your character. When you first start out you will have your choice of Hume, Elvaan, Tarutaru, Mithra,and Galka ok and now i know that your probly saing "ha?"trust me when i first saw the dofrent races there were to chose from.a Hume is easy its just a human an elvaan is an elf like legolas from lord of the rings(there realy tall in this game) A tarutaru is actualy a doll race there very small and make good mages, Mithras are a cat race they are realy cool however they only come in females and a galka is hard to explain there a big stron race for what they look like just go to the final fantasy xi web site and you can see what all the races look like. There are main jobs as they call it to chose from warrior, thief, monk, white mage, black mage, and red mage when you first start the game you chose a character customize it and name it you will chose from one of these jobs then you start leveling your characters job. eventual you will be able to get a sub job so you will have two jobs at the same time after a certen level though you will need to party to get the next level up faster. after about level 30 you will be able to get new jobs such as Dragoon, Ninja, Dark Knight, BeastMaster, Paladin, Ranger, Samurai, and Summoner all but three are pretty easy to figure out what they are but a dragoon is a job where a dragon follows you around and helps you fight it realy realy helps you fight, a Beastmaster gets to control the monstersyou usualy fight,and a paladin is well a very very good mage of all the difrent mages so if you chose to go for that job you would have the best job for whght mage black mage blue mage, and red mage. To get these new jobs you would have to go through a quest to get them.

Then of corse you have difrent ways to make money you could do fishing cooking black smithing loging and much more to keep the lag down there are difrent servers you will be put into. All and all the game is good if you like games where you make your own storie line but if you dont like games with no underling storie line then i sugest you not get this game it will be a big waste of oney to you. If you decide you like what you see and need help when you start im on alot so you can feel free to ask me my screen name is enchant to talk to me just type /tell enchant then type in your message if im on ill get what you wrote if im not there are many people running around that would help you.

Hmm

I played ffxi from when I was 13 to 17.. then I found WoW, please, everyone do yourself a favor, and buy WoW, not this, Amazon will still make money, they dont care. WoW's gtaphics aren't as good, but its better in every other aspect. and this is comming from someone who played ffxi FOREVER, yes 4 years is FOREVER. Like.. seriously.. Plus In WoW, you can kill other players. /grin, and you dont get perma banned for it. =P FFXI gets a 3/5 from me, but WoW gets a 10/10 hands down.

This game is awesome but unfortunatly this game version is only NTSC and it doesnt work with an asian console. I was able to use the cd key on the pc version of the game.

I think this game was misleading and fustrating which made me wish I would have never bought it and I hope to sell it on ebay for little of nothing because thats how much I felt when I tried to play this game.....Nothing
