hmmm... i bought mine at softwar boutique @ ss2. ffxi + rise of zilart expansion pack : rm279 + chains of promathia expansion pack : rm179

so it's rm458... but i bought it las year. the price might had dropped now.

In terms of graphics, FFXI blows WoW away
Not even close, they have some badass graphics
In terms of gameplay, I'll side WoW
More lively, rather than FFXI which u have to wait forever to swing once (I was a drk, so...)
I played FFXI for a yr, got up to 67 and stopped
The game has a nice storyline, especially when u finish the Zilart part
But it just takes way too long to lvl, and forever to find a party
The word "solo" doesnt exist in the game, which is a part I hate
And the fact that they combined Japanese and English players on the same servers, which doesnt make any sense at all
So...I would say Square let us ( or just me ) down on this chapter
Better stick with WoW =P

gamers.com not dropping ff11 price anytime soon ah?

Our supplier aren't bringing in any new stock at the moment. They only have stock from an old shipment, so they're charging us the old price.

Hope they'll drop the monthly fee instead of the retail box fee

Yes. US$4.99 should be more like it.

well..I thinking of dropping my FFXI also since its like taking forever just to lvl up. I dont really have time just to spend on one game. So drop this one and still will stick with WoW and GW.

wow u play so many mmorpgs?
can u cope with all of it?

^ one day one game..hehe I already drop Matrix Online which is its really really sux! Lagging all the time and used up to many space in my HDD

Waiting to form an XP party may be slow if you dun make friends, have a good linkshell, or have a good reputation. Getting into XP parties can be fast if you have many friends, have good reputaion, as in people know you are a good player. In fact another common way to get fast XP is to have a static XP PT, which means the same people meet to XP at schedules times so that u get formed up fast and everyone knows each others jobs and style. Static PTs are good for fast XP.

My linkshell is made of people from SG, Australia, HK, TW and a few from NA.

Just run about in Jeuno saying some local slangs and you will definitely find some kaki asking you if you are from SG or MY.

Or name character lenglui or chiobu and confirm some horny SG or MY lpayer wil /msg u.

Anyway, FFXI great game, super stable, no crashes, so well designed and built, well balanced, almost 0 bugs, EXTREMELY absorbing, and yeah still playing it with my kakis.

check my sig out... 2 years in this game and still going steady. No 75 jobs yet but close enough.. focusing a lot on Dynamis (alternate world) and Chains of Promathia missions ( darn good storyline ). Oh ya, I bought almost all the MMOs out there in the market and hell, I just wanna play FFXI in the end.

This game is so good it's screwing my life pretty bad too... my grades...
If you are just starting to look into this game, I suggest you start of with popular jobs like Red Mage Black Mage or White Mage. When you get advance jobs, go for jobs that's extremely popular like Bard Paladin or the extremely popular but really pricy jobs Ninja & Ranger. If you are thinking about being a melee such as Dark Knight Samurai or Dragoon, don't! You'll just complain about the waiting time for a party.

p/s: my only problem with FFXI is the abudance of chinese gil sellers. ><

Hmm wat happened to the rest?
Not posting bout this game anymore?

Any shops selling this game at its new low price now?

i bought mine in Europe.
FFXI + Rise of the Zilart + Chains of Promathia...after conversion is around RM67.
damn cheap....that's why i bought it. haven't started playing it yet though.

Do u take order ? can i order from u...

Yea can do a bulk order for us?
Heh

I got an extra copy of FFXI + Rise of Zilart +Chains of Prometia.

Drop me a message if interested.

lol...i was just there on a business trip. made a quick visit to their local EB Games store, saw FFXI at this ridiculously low price, then bought it. I was even tempted to get Star Wars Galaxies + all the expansion packs (including the new one, some Wookie expansion, which is not sold in Malaysia...yet), the whole pack, after conversion, was priced at around RM170. Damn cheap, but i realise i can't play them all, and SWG was not really my cup of tea. Plus, the games might be cheap, but the subscription fees are not. Anyways, MMORPGs are quite cheap over there, especially when they bundle it with expansion packs.

Maybe if i happen to be there for another business trip, i'll do a bulk then.
