Why did you start playing FFXI?

I joined because I am not only addicted to Final Fantasy games, but b/c I needed an escape from the drama of real life for a short period of time.

I started ffxi becasue it was there....

I liked past FF games, I did not even know it was coming out just saw it in a store one day

I wanted to play all the FF games in order. Got through 10, and don't think I'll get to 12-14 now for a while :)

I got hurt and was on my back for a year and had the trial in an xbox magazine... Now I'm an addict.

Vivik made me.

My best friend convinced me to play...I now play 95x more than she does and I rarely ever see her on <.<

Oh you stop woman. You made fun of me for days. Then you saw how much fun I was having and you just had to go out and buy it... :P

It was final fantasy-themed and some of my friends played it, and it was better than everything else at the time it came out.

I tried WoW but I quickly got sick and tired of the uninspiring art direction there.

I have been playing Final Fantasy games since FF3 came out on Super Nintendo. I started FFXI late (2007), but it was only natural for us to finally start our first MMO. I love it.

Was interested in a lot of the upcoming MMOs. FFXI, WoW, Star Wars. But then this happened to come first (well, not to my country but I imported it), and I quickly noticed I wouldn't have time to play all three, so I never bought the others.

So you could say it was a good idea to release the game before the others. Just a shame it has felt like a Beta version until Abyssea was released. But it was nice chatting with people those years between 2003 and 2010.
