i got it to work i just didnt click button lol

ty for help^^ i am now a red mage on kujata server!

Also how do i configure FFXI is that all the problems stopping my FFXI from launching onto full screen so i can make character?

Personally I find FFXI to be the far superior game to WoW. WoW is good for a quick thrill, but it gets old quick. FFXI takes a while to get into but when you do, you will love it. It takes a month to reach maximum level on WoW, 5months of pretty hardcore levelling on FFXI and I still haven’t reached maximum level (highest 66WHM) but it still kicks ass.

i installed and downloaded it and now when i click play to start the game

the whole screen goes black with only a brown and cream cursor and it does nothing. I cant even exit it i have to turn off my computer before i get it off can you tell me why its doing that and how to stop it?

So to summarize:
Plays on PC. (both XP/Vista)
Plays on 360
Plays on older PS2’s with internal hard drive.
Plays on PS3, 20, 60, 80GB versions.
DOES NOT PLAY ON 40GB PS3
DOES NOT PLAY ON “SLIM” PS2.
$13 a month to play, + $1 a month for each additional (optional) character beyond your main guy that you create. (usually additional characters are called “mules”.)
I played for 2 years before creating a mule. They aren’t needed.

Check what you are buying before you get it, because there are a lot of different versions out there. Best bet is to buy the Vanadiel 08 collection for 360, PC, or PS2 depending on what you use.

I have both the PC and the PS2 version, I can play on either, using a single account (just not at the same time obviously). It’s nice to run my PS2 for most things, but when I’m doing something with snazzy cutscenes I switch to the PC version for added graphical pizazz.

I believe there is a PC Vanadiel collection also, that is the same thing as the PS2 version. I.e. contains everything in one neat reasonably priced package.

Finally, the game will run on the PS3, but only the 20 & 60GB versions… It will _PARTIALLY_ run on the 80GB version. Word on the street, and this can be fixed at somepoint in software, is that WotG will not run on an 80GB PS3, but the original game, and all expansions _except_ WotG play fine on it. Again, this could be fixed already or very soon with a software patch.
Finally, the 40GB version of the PS3 has no backwards PS2 compatibility at all, so you are SOL if you own one and want to play any PS2 game.

Finally, it does run on xBox360 as well. I’ve never tried it on 360 so I can’t comment.

Or even a game that utilizes such game play. WOW! Oh my gosh! The big pay off has the same feeling from the start of the game; but, this time you get to upgrade your artifact and even get better gear, weapon and so on, and 5 star resort to end game places and you get to have more people join in too… Give me a Freaking break those players even act as if no one but them should deserve it.

The veteran players aren’t really concerned with helping the new players because they are always on the mad dash to dish the gossip on what hyper notorious monster linkshell wiped during some end game event, comparing e-peened gear, making money and whatever else.

When a new player is struggling because they can’t find 5 other players or more to help them level, do missions and even get artifacts(yes yes, when I played, players said most artifacts were crap). There were even times when players couldn’t get into parties based on gear and people would critique and even boot those players from parties.

When I used to play, there were veterans who would catch an attitude and ready to tell those struggling players to go play World of Warcraft. Like a bunch of dumb asses those players are giving free advertisement to FFXI’s rival and possibly hurting Final Fantasy XI’s possible chance of gaining any more players.

Instead of killing off the FFXI by catching an attitude with players and tell them to go play WoW, offer and actually help those players or just watch FFXI go to a possible grave.

The General Will is against what servo says, which means he is wrong. Even if I agree with servo, most people don’t, therefor I am wrong. Servo obviously did not give the game a chance.

Don’t give me any of this “You slammed me first-hand” crap. Read it and deal with it.

If someone insults you in real life directly, you are going to say “Sorry I won’t respond because you insulted me directly?”.

To hell with that shit.

Now I need to order my copy

I enjoyed it but I really felt like trying other MMOs before settling with FFXI. And to me it really had lots of depth, but its finding that depth and using it right is difficult. But I’ve almost played every MMO worth of mention. WoW was not bad, not really good ether. Having played tons of MMOs, I get what to do instantly. FFXI did take getting used to, I can’t imagine how hard it be to a new MMO player. He could be just used to Phantasy Star Online/Universe. Thats easier then WoW. And on 360. So who knows.

I’d cut Servo some slack but he didn’t need to flame a comment section of a article, thats just immature. But continuing to argue is also pointless eh mates

If you like a challenge a strong community of cool ppl, almost and endless amount of content, and you u hate when games end fast after you paid 5 times the cost of movie ticket for it lol. go buy FFXI.

When I play games… I usually start on hard… if your that kind of person you can’t play a game like WOW and feel satisfied at all.

So to each is own.
And btw if you take 2 months to get lvl 24 OMFG you suck and you should quit playing not only FFXI but every video game.

Look… all final fantasys give options for hard core gamers and causual gamers.
FFX for example you can beat in like 72 hrs or so or faster… but getting every thing in the game collecting all the monsters and fighting through the area til you beat nemesis can take literally 200+ hrs. Its the same with all Final fantasys they are not made only for casual gamers but most of the time tailor their games for hard core gamers.

When I accomplish something in FFXI I feel like a winner… when I do it in WOW I feel like meh… that wasn’t so hard.

some people like to play hard games

and besides..

since when does how long something take to install effect the gameplay in any way
