At the beginning, I was just being curious at the fine paintings. And my best friend cucu has already play Final Fantasy XI for two years. Then, I find the wonderful game.

 

Final fantasy XI is a first online game of final fantasy series. So, it is a sign for the development of Final fantasy series history. But ,compare with most other online games, final fantasy XI is not very successful. There are some weaknesses in final fantasy XI. Unfortunately, Final Fantasy XI doesn't buck any of these bad trends.

 

In fact, Final Fantasy XI seems to do its worst to give you a negative first impression. Its mouse-and-keyboard control scheme is functional, but entirely unconventional, so it will take a good few hours to get used to it. Even prior to that, the time it takes from the moment you first open the box and begin installing the game to your hard drive to the moment you first set foot in Final Fantasy XI's world of Vana'diel is longer than an hour, between the extensive amount of time required to merely install the game data (more than five gigabytes' worth) onto your hard drive, the time it takes to patch that outdated data to the latest version, and the time it takes to slog through the game's convoluted front end, entering several different registration codes along the way. Final Fantasy XI is really just one facet--but, certainly, by far the biggest attraction--of Square Enix's proprietary PlayOnline service, which has been translated directly from the PlayStation 2 to the PC. On the PS2, this self-contained service's offerings, including e-mail and a friends list, seemed to make sense. On your PC, you probably don't need another e-mail address. PlayOnline features another game, TetraMaster, in addition to Final Fantasy XI.
