Many of the quests are fairly simple item fetch and retrieve quests. There are still hundreds of quests, but I'm finding myself less inclined to ferret them out. With over 100 quests completed, it's safe to say this game is packed with content. While on the topic of quests, I've always been one that loves to quest and find cool and unique items. Social games like these rely on everyone to have the same sensibilities as you in order for you to have fun. Sure, you can tell me to not ask people or look at these guides, but when grouping to complete a quest or a mission, chances are good that someone in the group has already looked up a walkthrough. I prefer to explore and figure things out on my own rather than asking people or looking them up on a site. It's not unusual to find new players asking higher level people for money, asking for help to guide them through quests which seems to eliminate the feeling of accomplishment these gameplay elements are supposed to bring. Every single quest and mission has been solved, and nothing new was left for new players to find. Before any North American player set foot on the servers, there were already Japanese players that were level 70 (The maximum level possible) that knew the game inside out. They've been very kind by helping me out with info and money, invited me to groups, and basically anything else I needed. I have nothing against the Japanese as my experience with them has been great. As I mentioned in the First Impressions article, there were no North American servers at launch, so we were forced to play with the Japanese. With Final Fantasy XI, that hope has been all but eliminated. That fame is one thing many gamers strive for. All quests had yet to be solved, mysteries could take hours to unravel, and best of all, there was a chance you could be the first to figure them out. The whole MMORPG thing was fresh and expectations were non-existent thanks to unexplored territory. When I played my very first MMORPG, everything was new to me.
Granted, they do have both North American and Japanese players playing on the same server which is quite a feat, but I'm finding that this isn't exactly enhancing my gaming experience. Everything has already been done, and nothing new has been brought to the table. I love the fact that I can now play a never-ending Final Fantasy that constantly has new content added to it, but there's nothing revolutionary about the game. However, after playing it for nearly a month, I'm realizing that it isn't all I'd hoped for.ĭon't get me wrong, I enjoy the game. At first, it tugged at and held my attention. I was hoping it would be the one game that would make me drop out of school, buy two months worth of food, and not leave my basement for anything.
