"Awesome game"
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.

"Finnal Fantasy XXI"
Well starting out could be a little hard since the game is so far started. The best think you could do is try to get in a Link Shell (ls) is the abbreviation that they would use. If you buy this game just stick with it till you get a good friend or friends then the game really gets going. All around its a great game good mechanics virtually no glitches in the game and if you find one they have people in the game that will come help you out. Thats all I have to say its a good game and you should definitely buy it.

"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.

"You wil need time and money"
My advices:
1) Each box of the game have a password therefore you cannot resell or len it (if used).
2) It's online ONLY. You need an broadband internet connection.
3) You have to pay a monthly fee ($12 ~ $20).
4) A 20 GB hard drive will fall short in the meantime.
5) You need an USA credit card with local address.
6) Install it overnight (while you sleep) because it takes a long time to download the updates and patches.
7) Not for casual gamers. It will take several hours a day. It's like a job. If you have a life of your own you won't enjoy this game.

"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.
