Is it really worth the money?

Shadowdust · 05-19-2003, 02:06 AM

A long time ago, before I found out there were monthly fees, I was extremely interested in FFXI. I thought it would be great for there to be a team EoFF. Now I have to wonder.

You're basically paying monthly fees for a game that eventually will lose its replay value considering that once the money runs dry, it will be discontinued. I like paying for a game and playing it for years and years to come. I don't want something temporary. And especially not for a monthly rate plus the cost of a modem and hard drive.

So tell me, do you think that FFXI is worth all of the cost? Are you going to join the FFXI community?

I personally am not.

I am. Man I dont care how much, seems very interesting and very well long lol.

Yeah, I wonder how much it costs for a monthly rate that is.

I've heard speculations that it would be like $10 a month. I don't know how accurate that is, but at the end of five months, you'd be overpaying for the game.

also, it will get alot of competition from other online games. Probably many with better gameplay and graphics.

Star Wars Galaxies sounds much more interesting than ff11 does. And will also have a much bigger and more wide spread community than ff11 will. Hence, more people will be playing the game. Hence, much more chances for character interaction.

It's not worth wasting my money. First of all, I don't like to play my games on the PC, I like the PS2 better. Second, it takes me a long time to finish a game because I start and stop and start and stop. At $10 a month I'll be paying way too much money for it. It's one FF that I'll have to do without.

It's not wasting money, it's good entertainment. For rich people. 10 bucks a months is to much for my poor ass. I'll probably get it to find things I can gripe about though. But only because people seem to think the game is perfect and unexploitable.

I'm playing it. The game looks like the best online RPG I have ever seen. Not to mention I'll be playing with all my friends and I'll be making new ones as I play too. Besides it's not so temporary as long as people play it. I mean look at star craft, it's been out since 1995 I beleive (could be wrong, I'm just guessing) it's been out so long and still is played quite a bit. Or look at Ever Quest, still going strong after god knows how long of the same thing.

I don´t think I will play this FF. I like to play in my own time and sometimes I don´t play for weeks, it would be difficult for me to do that if I had to play with other people.
