19-F.A.Q.
---Frequently Asked Questions=F.A.Q.---
Q. - Can this game be played offline like other Final Fantasies?
A. - No. There is no way to play this offline. It is completely online. It is
an MMORPG meaning it is online-only. This is not Diablo II or PSO which
are both ORPGs.
Q. - What Does MMORPG Mean?
A. - Incase you didnt look at the top, it means: Massivly Multiplayer Online
Role Playing Game. This type of game is online-only with no exceptions.
These types of games usually have monthly fees.
Q. - What does ORPG mean?
A. - ORPGs are Online Role Playing Games. These do not cost any money. However,
these types of games are usually porly kept up. These games can be played
offline. They are easily hacked games. ORPGs include:
Diablo 1/2 and Phantasy Star Online
Well, PSO does have a fee, but it doesnt need one. Or atleast it doesnt
need one that high.
Q. - Will all ISPs work for this game?
A. - Yes, even AOL. But some are just really bad in general. You should
probably change ISPs if this is the case.
Q. - Does FFXI have a monthly fee? If so, how much.
A. - Yes FFXI has a montly fee of $12.95 per month. You can get more things for
more money. Each extra character you make is another $1.00 per month and
Tetra Master (A cool card game) is also another $1.00 added on to the fee.
Q. - Is FFXI hacked a lot?
A. - No. If it does get hacked, the person who hacked it gets banned/sued.
After the hacker is taken care of, they fix the problem fast.
Q. - Is the HDD required for the PS2 version?
A. - Yes, there is no way out of this. You have to buy it. Currently it is
required to play FFXI and will add upgrades for SOCOM II and Grand
Turismo 4. However, it will come pre-loaded with FFXI for $99.
Q. - Can you run out of Stamina while you are running?
A. - No, you cant. You could run as long as you want. There is no stamina bar.
Q. - When does this game get fun?
A. - This is actually a fairly common question. This game is unlike most other
MMORPGs. This game has a weird "fun" system.
(Mediocre Fun)=lv 1-9 (Little Fun)=lv 9-15 (Great Fun)=lv15+
Q. - Can you make a Male Mithra or a Female Galka?
A. - No. These races are of one sex ONLY.
Q. - I got a weird answer when I did the benchmark test. What does it mean?
A. - Most likly it was the "Direct3D" one. This one shows the words "Direct3D"
with a bunch of symbols after it. This means that your graphics card is
not good enough to play the game. You should get a new graphics card if
you want to play this game.
Q. - Should I get this game?
A. - This is the best MMORPG I have played. If you like MMORPGs, then all I
have is "all-systems-go". If you want a better review, then look at some
reviews.
Q. - What does the score I got for the benchmark mean?
A. - From the official site:
