Rating : FINAL FANTASY 11 with HDD!, May 31, 2008

By James Castle "JAMES CASTLE" (NEWPORT, KENTUCKY)

FINAL FANTASY 11 is a great game for the PS2! But i bought it for $100 dollars at the time; long time ago! Now u can get it cheaper now! Plus i think u can use other online games to save on it! Like Resident Evil (The online one)! But the bad thing is at the time it was that price! They didnt have it for sale with all the expansions for it! U had to buy them separate! Plus FFx and FFx2 u cant have mutiple jobs in them games like u can FF 11! What i mean is can u be a Paladine in FFx or FFx2; hell no! I own FF 11, FFx, FFx2 and FF7 Dirge of Cerberus, and FF12! FF11 and FF12 is the best i think! But if u look on Amazon or Ebay u might find it cheaper then $100 dollars! I do think it should been cheaper when it came out! But if u figure u r buying a hard drive for the PS2! What does it cost for a real hard drive for a pc! IT probably cost more then $50 dollars right? Plus u get the FF11 game with the HDD and the utility disk and the HDD installation guide and the FF11 manual with it! So i say yes when u add the HDD and the game together it would cost over $50 dollars! But i dont think it would cost $100 or close to it! So it is worth it!
But remember if u don't reactivate your character like one of the guys say in their review that u can leave it in active for i say 3 months after that it gets deleted off server! But see if it does u can still keep the game and HDD and use it to start a new character on it!
Just make sure when u buy it used that it comes with utility disk!
Because when i order mine it didnt come with it when it said on Amazon it would! Plus the HDD installation guide should come with it too! Other then the Hard drive and ff11 game with ff11 manual too!

i have been waiting to jump back on this game for 3 years now for ps2. this model is very hard to find at a $100- and lower price range.
an AMAZING game. basically never ending, and the fun of the game is always there. I recomend anyone age 15+ to play this game.
the only down fall is the 10$ a month fee, BUT... its well worth it.

I finally got my hand on this game (for the second time), I almost had to walk thru the valley of shadows, but it was worth it! Nobody had this game anymore since is no longer available in most stores, but thanks to you I finally can sleep less . . . . THANK YOU!!!

Rating : For all fo you who thought you had to pay 100$ to get a account back. Wrong!, February 28, 2007

By Michael S. Cornetet "Junk~ Trollbane realm" (Trollbane server on WoW)

FYI for those who failed to think outside the box! You could of just went and shelled out 20 bucks for the pc version then use the ID's they give you in that copy on your Ps2. You still need the Hard Drive and PS2 disk, but you can use the PC start up codes just fine on Ps2.
Anyways this game is great, it is cheap to get into. You pay 100 bucks for a ps2 and another 100 for the hard drive, and you got a sick game! It shure the hell beats buying a 2,000$ PC in order to play WoW! even though i love WoW, it cost alot more money to get the same satisfaction Final Fantasy Xi offers! i play both to this day on my PC, i have about 3 sealed FFXI HDD drives thinking they would be hard to find later on and i could sell them. I was write on the hard to find part, but i was wrong on sell it for a huge profit part! Either way this game is great, and is the only game out their that can compare at any level with wow.
P.S WoW is still a better game, but FFXI is just cheaper!

By M. Harmon

if you are a gaming junkie, and spend more than the average person on your bum, I strongly reccommend this game. It has quirks in the sense of dealing with the slow paced start-up and aggravating times. Other than thatit's a very rewarding experience come end-game. The people can range from ignorant children to complete genius' discovering and understanding the games mechanics. All-in-all, it is another world. You feel as though you are your character. You interact with everyday people like you, and form bonds and quite the contrary.
The other comments I've noticed, say this game is no good if you plan to not keep playign/paying for it. They DO have a feature to reactivate old accounts. Sometimes they remove this offer, but being the holiday seasons, as well as summer time, they will offer a reinstatement. Not that I reccomend ever not paying for it. I do take breaks here and there, but even if it's time consuming, I feel rewarded in my efforts and money.
Overall, I recommend trying this out, If not for the PS2 version, but another.
The PS2 version, the initial console jump, features low-quality visuals with limited range in vision. It suits someone who likes to take a load off and kick back and join Vana'Diel in a few hours of play. If you intend to play religiously, I recommend the PC version, and maybe the Xbox360 version, if you feel the need to dish out outrageous amounts of money for one title of value.
A must try!
