Xbox 360

[Voorhees]

Don't know where this goes but I've been looking for the Xbox 360 version of this game for a while now and can't find it anywhere. I ordered it on Square-Enix site even tho it says out-of-stock. I'm just wondering if I will get it any time soon. I am a long time player, I have been playing since NA release but only for PC.

Sorry if this is the wrong place but I couldn't find a better forum to post this in.

Edit: If anyone knows where I can order it online other than square-enix store so I can get it here quicker please let me know!

I got my 2007 Copy from Amazon, it was a second-hand purchase, but I was lucky to find it and I got WoTG from Ebay. I think your best bet is to try and get a second-hand copy, it's not easy to get a hold of.

However, Amazon.com is selling some copies of the 2008 edition, which gives you everything you need. As you're playing the PC version, I'm sure you'll have bought the add-ons too. $25 for used, $119 new though. There's a few different versions and expansions on ebay.com too

If you're in the UK like me, then:
FFXI 2007: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/xbox-360-g...#ht_500wt_1413
And WoTG: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Final-Fant...#ht_500wt_1413

Unfortunately they're pretty rare, so they're not brilliantly cheap in the UK. Though I managed to get mine for a good price.

Teegrins!

I would suggest contacting the store which you ordered the product from for this information. Being out-of-stock does not seem promising, that is for certain, and I don't think you can get even a remotely accurate answer here.

Perhaps a guesstimate at best.
Mine would be that it might never be in stock again. ^^;

However, as Saefinn mentioned while I was writing this, the game tends to be rather rare for this platform indeed, but there are some sources it still can be found from (as mentioned above).


In any case, good luck!

If I get a used copy would I be able to play on the 360? I own the abyssea collection for PC and have everything activated so I'm thinking maybe I could buy it used and install it on xbox then play with my account without the need of any additional keys or is this wrong?

now i'm not a scientist, but i THINK this will work. i did something very similar, just going the other way. i played on ps2 then xbox then recently installed the game on my laptop just so i'd have it when i was away from home.

since i had already purchased every expansion in the game for 360, when i bought the ultimate edition for pc i got a download code i ended up not needing. (was even able to give it to a returning associate and bam, they had all the aby expansions.)

so stuff like that seems to be connected to your account, not your platform.

Can anyone confirm this before I cancel my purchase from SE store and try to obtain a used copy?

As long as you have your log-in info it will work. Be careful about tying it to your Xbox Live account because whatever account you tie it to will be tied to it forever and if you lose your FFXI account or your Xbox Live account you can't use either with any other.

You can even backup your macros and map information so you won't have to write them all over again on the Xbox:

• Backup
  XBOX 360 Controller: LB + left stick button
  Keyboard: Shift + Alt + Ctrl + B
• Retrieval
  XBOX 360: RB + right stick button
  PC/Keyboard: Shift + Alt + Ctrl + R

You would need the Final Fantasy XI Online: Vana'diel Collection 2008 for Xbox 360. If you got the original release that only had up to ToAU then, you couldn't do any of the latest content like abyssea because you would lack WotG.

No new keys are needed to play the game on Xbox if you have a FFXI account already. Accounts are universal and work on any of the 3 platforms FFXI is on.

Basically all you need to play using a second hand copy is:
Your FFXI account
Final Fantasy XI - Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urghan and Wings of the Goddess

The 2008 version contains all of these. I found it impossible to get a 2008 copy, so I went with 2007 and got WoTG separate. I did get a glance at an unopened copy of 2008 for 360 when I worked for a second hand store, but the guy selling it didn't like the price he was offered and I had customers to deal with, so I couldn't run after him and offer a better deal.

Abyssea and the other add ons, they don't require anything, if you've bought them then they're bound to your account and you don't need install disks or anything like that.It's just the original game and its 4 main expansions. I got all my extra stuff from my PC version.

As a person playing on the 360 with second hand copies I can confirm that they should work. Just make sure you buy one that works with your 360's region, my XBox 360 is PAL, so all those NTSC US copies that I was able to find, they probably wouldn't have worked.

If you have the game on PC, why would you get it on the xbox? You want the courch experience? Just hook your PC up to a TV and use a gamepad or xbox controller.
