Mantra Locust Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'm want to buy a new MMORPG, but I don't know what to choose, Final Fantasy XI or Starwars Galaxies... Any recommendations would be appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I play SWG and i really cant recommend it right now. Creature mounts are barely going to make it live sometime this week and vehicles dont come out until the end of dec/beg of jan. Its completly bug ridden and is extremly easy to level through. If you played any MOG's in the past youll zip right through this one. Unless your a star wars nutjob (like me) you really wont enjoy it. As for FFXI i cant say because ive never played.

redFX Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Wait for everquest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Locust Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 I heard the bugs in SWG were bad, though It doesn't seem that as many people play FFXI, which I find strange for all the FF fans out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantra Locust Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 Wait for everquest 2 It'll probably be a while until it comes out though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritalin Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 played swg, i dont recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Claude Van Damme Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Ever seen a MMO where there weren't any bad bugs shortly after launch? And don't get to me with the "But FFXI isn't as buggy as SWG" tour to me, FFXI implements barely a fraction of the ingame systems SWG features.

Mantra Locust Posted November 11, 2003 Author Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'm leaning towards FFXI now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecander Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 FFXI imo is a better choice..SWG is too full of exploits and you dont get burned for doing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath3n Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I would say that Horizons Empire of Istaria would be well worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsc Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 if you are ready to wait some... wait for the matrix online... :p - that's what i am waiting for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chouzan Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Asheron's Call 2 is far greater than either of those titles. But between Star Wars Galaxies and Final Fantasy XI, I would definitely have to go along with Final Fantasy XI simply because it's a more solid experience and the community is quite large already.

AC2 has like 200 people playing tops. Its not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chouzan Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 AC2 has like 200 people playing tops. Its not worth it. Actually, all of the servers combined roughly handle 1,900 individual players on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormi Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Is it just me, or am I crazy, just the thought of spending 40-60 bucks to purchase a game, then paying for the right to play it ****es me off to no end. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdesmus Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 i am waiting for Fable personally...that game will hopefully own all. :ninja: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCasper6 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 I agree with Stormi. With FFXI you gotta shell out like $50 to buy it, then another $13-15 a month to play it. That's a big chunk of money. I think I'll stick to games that have free multiplayer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonze Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 i would stay away from any MMORPG unless you like having your life taken over by a game. played Daoc, shadowbane, EQ(for a short time), starwars galaxies. Played DAOC the longest, fun game but certain imbalances caused alot of frustration with players. they have fixed most if not all of those imbalances now, alot better than they were 6 months ago. FFXI looks interesting but i'm not up for another mmorpg right now, not enough time to play it in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
