Started Final Fantasy XI on XBOX 360

Final Fantasy XI ScreenshotFollowing several attempts to get into the game when it was first launched in 2004 and later, around 2006, I finally began seriously playing Final Fantasy XI about a week ago after beating Blue Dragon.  I’m on the Alexander server and have been building my character as a Black Mage.  So far, I’ve soloed on my own in the Windurst area and I’m about to hit Level 19.  It’s time to get into some plot but I wanted my character to be strong enough to enjoy myself when playing.  Aaron’s been playing, too, and we sometimes level up together.

I realize the game is getting older, but there are still 500,000 registered players and 2,000,000+ registered characters.  It’s actually gotten me really excited about Final Fantasy XIV, which is also going to be an online, as well.  It’s going to be a nice distraction when I need to take a 30 minute break from the company in the middle of the day.

    Haven’t tried it yet, but want to. Have you played Fable 2?

      Have I played Fable 2? I wrote a blog about it because both Aaron and I became addicted to it. I ended up owning virtually all of the property in the game, making more than $10 million and being crowned “King” due to my land holdings. I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t go about with the game until I had become one of the the richest men in all of Albion. Habit, I guess ;)
