lol.. see u in almost every online games thread

what to do..
looking for a nice one to play..

FFXI... quite unpopular in m'sia... i know no one playing it :\

OT: try guildwars should be damn nice and no monthly fees

me from ffxi......can onli comment battle mode is really bored....
and need hours to get a party .....no solo at all after lvl 15 except u play beastmaster.
well anyway i played ffxi already 1 year
now waiting for guild wars

wow you say its boring but u already played it for a year...
lolz

lolz actually in the game i only go explore the map.....
and the tarutaru is very cute which make me hard to quit
except the battle mode i can say ffxi is a great game anyway

wah... potachan, which serv r u from? im from ragnarok. alot of s'poreans in that server.

ffxi is a very quality game. from the installation n the setup u can alr feel the quality. it even has it's own game lobby [playonline]. the game itself... not really meant for leisure gaming lor. cos if u dun play for a day, u'll missed alot of things n u'll feel left behind. like potachan said, it's true that waiting for party is very boring n very fedup but it's very fun when u get into a party n whack monsters. hmmm... my opinion, ffxi has too many things to do to keep u occupied. the quests n missions r neverending.

i love to meet more m'sian ffxi players.

How much do you pay per month for ff11? And how much is the whole game?

http://www.gamers.com.my/browse.cfm?keywords=ff%20xi

Monthly fee: ~US$13, credit card only.

the official site is selling a copy for usd19.99 right?

I think so. FFXI price keeps dropping every 6 months or so. Wonder if they'll drop it to US$9.99 later because they found it hard to compete with WOW and GW.

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

Midgardsormr : Taru BLM

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.

Star Wars Galaxies isnt really that bad..
In fact i kinda liked it while playing its trial

So anyone still playing this game?

I'm gonna start playing by the end of this month...after i got my game Cd lah....just bought one..second hand....

Wow nice nice..
I'm gonna get it this weekend if everything goes right..
Hope the game is nice

Just got my copy + chains of promathia today!!

Whoever thats still playing the game now...
How do you find the game now?

Played a hume dark knight in the Pandemonium server - stopped for awhile (actually since Dec'04 lol) coz moved into a new house w/ no telephone line.

My thoughts on FFXI: it's a great game, if u have the time to invest into it. Used to spend 6-8hrs a day minimum, and to be honest, took away a big chunk of my social life lol. I think one of the earliest LYN member to play this game was Winternights (a lvl75 ninja btw) - already quit the game for WoW. Looking for party invites used to be a pain in a$$, especially when you're new to the game... cant really blame em cause some players that i've invited were really bad, didnt even know their job well... imagine inviting a THF to ur party who doesnt know how SATA works (Sneak attack+ trick attack) etc. Later i was lucky to have found a few players to stick to, and we formed a static, from LVL 65 all the way to 75. Some of em i still keep in touch, two were from China, one from Indonesia and another (WHM) is from Germany. From time to time, we'd go to SKY and level abit, or camp some NM (amemet... used to be good money till the gilsellers came)... havent got the chance to fight the bigger HNM but it was fun nonetheless... and my most memorable fights were against Serket, Roc, Tyrannic Tunnok and of course, Za 'Dha Adamantking in Qulun Dome.

Enjoyed every moment... but prepared to sacrifice lotsa time, into lvling up, making urself a better player, understanding ur job, farm farm farm for that expensive gear (how much are sniper rings, scorpion harness nowadays i wonder ), NM camping etc.

Btw, my main job was Dark Knight (DRK) 75, with a few other subjobs at lv37 at least (Warrior, Thief, Ninja). A lil advice to those who wanna go DRK fulltime, dont forget about lvling ur Great Sword skill, although a DRK weilding a big-a$$ scythe looks cool... later in the game when ur lv60+, ppl will be looking for a DRK that can do Spinning Slash, which can deal 1000+ dmg (highest for me was 1400+) with sneak attack-trick attack. Combine with a ninja blink tank and a ranger plus black mage.... you could do some huge damage performing the LVL3 light skillchain (cool effect!) w/ MB, with little downtime (with the aid of RDM or Bard... my favourite) to keep those experience chains comin'.

Hey guys i got a question bout this game..
I heard that if you unsubscribe your account...after 3 months if you do not reactivate your account.It will be permanenly deleted and if ya wanna play again ya have to buy another copy?
Is this true?

IF u let ur bills unpaid... yes, ur acc will BE DELETED & the serial number will b UNUSABLE. if u deactivate ur acc & leave it after 3 mths, ur char will b gone forever... or u can join back w/ SE host another "Come Back Home" campaign. ur char lvl & jobs will still remain, but ur gils & hq items... *poof*.

I just join Lakshmi yesterday,looking for some newbie to join with me

Gonna start it at 30th november..

any more ppl out there want to join us in Lakshmi ? currently we are short of girls/womens , if u r interested to play ffxi and a girl/woman please come in Lakshmi . other gender are also welcome . hehehe

FFXI is fun. You just need to play the popular jobs (non-melee) and you'll not LFG for 10 hours. Preferably, you should play Bard, Red Mage, Blackmage, Paladin or Ninja if you want to minimize your time on lfg.

As for roleplay, this game is the best. Missions and storylines are WAYYYYYYYYYYY better than WoW or any other MMOs. There's only one problem, you can never solo these missions. You'll need a whole team of balanced players (i.e. whitemage, red / brd, blm, paladin / nin, and 2 extra players).

I've completed Promathia, Zilart and my nation Mission and I can assure you that it's worth the time if you are looking forward to the storyline. As for soloability, there's almost none.

If you feel like being uber and look really good and stuff, prepare to invest another 1 year or so to get the "God" armors or your Dynamis AF armor. As for the "God" weapons, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get it since it'll cost you roughly about 100-150 million gils.

Also, making money in this game is a major pain in the butt at lower levels (70 and below). Unless you are lucky to get into HNM(Hyper Notorious Monster) Linkshell, there's almost no way to make 1 million gil a day. Best I can make is about 100k/hr with my fishing skill at lvl 100.

If you are going to craft to make money, be prepared to spend more than you can make. Crafting besides fishing at FFXI is a money loss unless you make a High Quality item. Sometimes, the items to craft can also be broken thus rendering you having 100% loss. This applies to crafters who are looking forward to make armors like Scorpion Harness(bonecraft) or Haubergeon(smithing with goldsmith sub). You'll roughly lose 1.5mil gil (depending on your server) for losing such items.

When it comes to how "uber" your stuffs is, be prepared to face gil buying competitors (especially the Americans). Most of the time, you'll lose to them because they buy their gil at such cheap price.

Oh, also, if you are serious about partying, you might want to group up with Japanese for exping. Though it's going to be *really* hard for you because Japanese party with Japanese onry (you can get lucky sometimes) Americans, well.. 80% of them are idiots 10% AFK every 10 minutes 5% leave you without notice 5% are good players.

Unless you are prepared to spend 3 years of your time (like me) doing nothing but play FFXI, there's going to be very little chance of you doing anything much in FFXI legitemately. Of course, you can always buy gil at http://www.ige.com and twink your way up to 75 in less than 3 months.

Well...Guess what I just bought myself a new copy of FF IX....just finished installing it...i'm waiting for it to finish updating the files..then i'm of playing the game....

bye bye.....my real life...my work...my study...my MBA thesis...and also not forgeting my PS2...

p/s: hope i'm won't be negleting my wife

Lolz dude its FFXI..Haha anyway hope ya enjoy the game.
And don't forget to give your comments about it here

Sorry the excitement just overwhelmed me (FF XI it is).....I just finished my first session...Played straight 5 and a half hours.....the game is so huge....so many things to do and yet only 2 hands i have....pity me...well hope u have enough courage to wait until december....well i'm off for my second session c ya

hiya bajunid, come n join us in Lakshmi server
My Webpage

Ahh crap..All i have to do is purchase a content id and i'm in the game now but must control the urge to activate my account...ARGH!!

Weel..I registered at your site....still waiting for someone to spare me a world pass so that i can get into Lakshmi...anyway I'm already enjoying my first go in Garuda

hmm, while u guys r joining the game, im quitting the game. sadly ffxi has taken away my youth, my money, my time & my academics... & the often disconetions due to tmnut. the good days of being nooby pting at valkrum, the 1st airship to kazham & the satisfaction after completing rank 5 to get the bloody airship pass. meh, new vana'diel aventurers, make sure u know how 2 organize ur time in rl & ffxi.

Well..I'm posting these screenshots just to 'kipas' sayming so that he play the game already....


Attached thumbnail(s)

Wah nice try but it wont work unless u show me a screenshot of you fighting a large dragon...

I still got no chance to fight any Big Dragon (level still tooooo low), but i put this picture up and share with you all. So far this NPC is the hardest for me (Zilart Mission Story). Here you go

Zilart Mission 8 NPC is one of the easiest to defeat in ZMs. He just constantly erase your hate way.. That's all. The hard one in ZM would be the Ark Angel... *shudder*

The hardest to fight imho, would be Promathia and Tenzen for storyline.

As for the REALLY hard to fight NPC, it's Kirin so far. Takes about 1 hour - 2 hours to fight him... with the Ranger nerf, it doesn't help much either too.

Sorry, no pictures.. I've also uninstalled and unsubscribed to my account. Took my life, education and everything away.

No no still not enough to get me in the game..Hehehe

Mas, I know your feeling. I got one time almost drop FFXI : Online because this game really took all my life, my family, my love, my work and my lovely console games. Few of my friends advised me to continue but just try to count down the play time. And I manged to count down that's why my level still very low .

I'm looking forward to fight the 5 Dark Angel. Wait until I get level 75 .

Sayming, If you really want to start FFXI : Online, please start after your SPM exam. If you start now, I'm a bit worry on your exam .

Right right..study first...then enjoy.....

Yup i know.Its a time consuming game and i dont wanna waste my money paying for something i'm not playing..

symaxl..i see that you are a human now..hehe

well..i already drop all my online games now including FFXI. no time to play and too much money waste on online gaming already.

So...any new stuffs in FFXI lately ? I only played like 6 months or so... From the first day US version launch(yup, during halloween which got my pumpkin hat) till after Fenrir summon ( Got all mine expect this one )came out then I quit. Due to lack of high lvl NA players at that time and sitting there 8 hrs with my "LFG" tag on is kinda depressing, dont ya think ?

I quited the game this year....waiting for party is nuts so unless u know japanese then i suggest u play other online games.

I also quit FFXI sometime last year...

They should tag FFXI with "you should know some japanese" unless you play during the same playtimes as NA.

LFG was the PAIN and BANE of it all... I was quite lucky (some ppl said so) cuz I was:-

1. Red Mage
2. Some understanding of japanese, hiragana, katakana and kanji

BUT sometimes the wait is like 12 hours? I can do alot more in 12 hours (playing other online games/real life activities) rather than waste 12 hours in FFXI...

anyone in fairy server?

You mean they won't autotranslate when the japanese says something?

that function is up to them if they wana use it =\
not always all jp ppl speaks in jp but some do speak well in english too lol

I'm in Lakshmi instead ; ;

So what is a good class that can help party and wanted by parties too.

LOL the obvious is a healer or support...

White Mage or Red Mage... take your pick
