When gamers were first introduced to the final fantasy series they were blown away by its gameplay and characters. Fast forward to present day and you still see this series in the legendory category of games. The 11th installment looks to keep its gamers coming home. This is square's first MMORPG and its one of the greatest final fantasy experiences ever. Being a massively multiplayer game, this game has a wonderful community. The economics system is great because you as the player can drive it forward. For instance, say if an item at the auction house is worth 400 gil(the game's currency) the next day the same item could be worth 200. It adds a sense of immersion as well there are always thousands of players in and are really nice people that don't mind lending you a hand, which makes you feel part of a much bigger world. The first thing you do in the beginning is create a character, well actually, it would be a better idea to install the game. The race choices are as follows: hume, tarutaru, galka, elvaan, and mithra. Now you have to choose a job for your character, in other games this would be like player class. The choices for jobs are: warrior, monk, white mage, black mage, red mage, and thief. Now you choose a country to start in and then you're ready to go into the big world of Vana'diel. Now you're welcome to Vana'diel by an in engine cutscene. The game will explain the rest such as synthesis and fishing. These are all cool things to do if you get bored of the combat, but it rarely gets boring. It uses the same elements as other ff games but improves and exp;ands upon those ideas. Partying makes the combat really fun, I recommend always having a white mage with you though. Threre are plenty of spells and weapons to guarantee that no two people will look the same. When combat begins, your character will start an auto attack, and keep doing so until you dictate otherwise. Gaphics: 4.5 Sound: 4.0 control: 4.0
