STAY AWAY

I bought this game as there are not too many 360 games out yet and wanted something to tide me over. I have played past Final Fantasy games and while they were a bit out there they were good times.
Reasons why I beg you not to waste your money:
- First off this game took FIVE HOURS to install. I am not making this up. I started at 10am and it didn't complete until after 3pm.
- Do you have a USB keyboard for your XBOX? Neither do I. While they claim this is a 360 game it is actually a PC game that is playable on the 360. You have to type A LOT. If you don't have a keyboard there is an on screen keyboard that will infuriate you with its poor interface.
- This is actually a long term rental. That's right! In order to play this you must "subscribe" to another on line service (in addition to XBOX live) for $12.99 a month.
- This isn't Final Fantasy it is World of Warcraft and while I enjoy watching Leeroy Jenkins I have no desire to become him. The amount of time spent developing skills is almost real time.
- You can't trade this in. As it is password protected you can't trade this game in at any used game stores. Yup, they won't take it as it is unusable.

While there are some people who prefer an on-line existence to their real life I am not one of them. This could be the greatest game of its type ever and if it is and I have offended fans of those games I apologize, but if you are just a gamer looking for something new to beat and remember the olf FF games pass this one by it is not for you.

I have always been a fan of Final Fantasy games, I also had a WoW account for over a year. However the latest adoption of bringing this title to the Xbox 360 was poorly done. To start it takes three hours to install, including an hour of downloading updates, and it uses 5 gig (yes 5 gig) of your hard drive. Next up, controls they are bulky, and not utilized properly. To really play the game you will need a USB keyboard. The game does not have achievements as the rest of the 360 games do.

I will be exchanging it tonight.

Let?s get real, it?s not worth paying so much to play a game. It?s better to spend your money on wiser choices, do your numbers. Just compare the [...] anual fee of Xbox live to the equivalent [...] annual fee for playing this game([...] a month for Xbox live and [...] of "PlayOnline fee"). That means that if you want to play this game it will cost you a 255% more money (in terms of annual fee)that any other online game. Do you find it reasonable the fact that you have to "double pay" for the online services? when in the market all X-360 games only require Xbox Live membership? Is this a joke? What happens if you want to play this game for more than a year or if you own it and want to re-play it after a while, then the price value of playing it sky-rockets. Total rip-off. Don?t get me wrong, I?m a hardcore Final Fantasy fan but I am sure that I can spend that money wisely and wait for another big title to come up. I regret buying this game.

Buyer Beware - Misleading Game

First of all it takes about 4 hours to get this game started... seriously. You have to download a ton of updates and setup your PlayOnline account. If you don't know what this is you're in for a real treat. You can't play this game without one and it costs money each and every month. Something they fail to tell you on the box or anywhere else. The interface for setting this up is so hard and if you ever have to cancel good luck! Just do a search on google for Playonline accounts, cancelling and other such keywords and you'll see how much trouble everyone has with this game.

I WOULD STAY AWAY IF I WERE YOU. THIS GAME IS A TOTAL RIP OFF.

Major Let Down

I am a parent who got suckered. Actually, I have never written a review for anything before. However, I find myself obligated in saving people from buying a product so poorly developed that it should have never been released in the market. I find it disgusting that a company took advantage of a "product name recognition" to exploit its fans. This game first off takes so long to get started that it takes the complete joy out of buying a new game. I spent over 4 hours trying to get myself set up. On top of my time being wasted, the game requires monthly fee's to play plus there is a charge for each character you build. Are you kidding me? This is corporation greed at its worst. I purchased the game because my son is a huge final fantasy fan. However, after my son played for three hours he became frustrated with the complexity and lack of direction in the game that he turned it off. I never seen my son so disappointed. To all those people who wrote "great" reviews, you should be ashamed! No one in his or her right mind can find this game worth all the money is required to play. At 12.99 a month playing fee for a year plus the cost of the game plus the cost of a character, one can be looking at paying over $200 for "ONE" Game.

hope your card has a normal adress

if you have a APO/FPO adress on your credit card, youre simply SOL if you want to play the game. credit card registration doesnt account for APO/FPO adresses. so for all the military guys stationed overseas, AVOID THIS GAME
