Final Fantasy XI is fun. Lots of fun. If you like MMORPGs or Final Fantasy, I definitely recommend trying it out. Then again, this is just based on initial impressions. MMORPGs are evolving, living things, and the game changes as you level up. As of this writing, I have not progressed that deeply into the game, however, I feel that I have played enough to comment on most aspects that a potential newcomer would care to know about before investing themselves into it. The game is a worthy insertion into both the MMORPG market, and the Final Fantasy game series.
