While Lineage 1 and 2 both get a boost from their popularity in Korea Final Fantasy XI is helped by its large presence in Japan. Not only is the game popular but FFXI stands as one of the most solid MMORPGs in the genre alongside the likes of World of Warcraft and City of Heroes with a great story tight game play a huge game world stellar graphics and team oriented quests.

Comment: My favorite MMORPG… period. One of the great things about this game is that you can make new friends easier than most online games. In order play the game to the fullest you have to work together in parties and quests. The world Vana’diel puts the massive in MMORPG. I have been playing for over a year now and I still haven’t seen all there is to see. Another great thing is the selection of jobs. When you start you get to choose from Warrior Monk Thief White mage Black mage or Red mage. When you reach level 30 you may do the advanced job quests. Advanced jobs include: Paladin Dark Knight Ranger Bard Summoner Beastmaster Dragoon Ninja and my personal favorite Samurai! Also you can have a sub job which is a job that you add to your main job and you get the stat bonuses and and abilities from that job! For Instance I am a Samurai/Warrior. With warrior as my sub job I get increased strength and HP and the useful abilities that only warriors get. I could go on all day about how good this game is but I think have said enough lol.

I like this game very much. Would give a 4/5 since it covers all aspects youd like such as story, gameplay, multiplayer and graphics.
I never played this game but the game review in youtube is really tempting i might buy this one. The action animation is really great storyline is giving goosebumps due to it’s graphics the weapons are lit with perfect edges ,shape. Monsters are really well made and has it’s own mechanics. 5/5 for this epic game.
