As much fun as I had (and didn't) with FFXI (or any massive online game for that matter), I would advise you not to play any of them, unless you can handle yourself. You'll get desperately addicted . I didn't really do anything other than play it for nine months last year. Which is one thing I'm afraid will happen if I do get the new FF game coming out. I'd like to actually make something of myself. :O
