  • Hmm, I just realized that this mix of the battle theme is an earlier version compared to that which plays ingame.

  • The best game ever made :')

  • lol u kids take this shit serious don't u lol bless.... "fat kid" lol i think i posted on this like a year ago and i still get reply's lol you know there is a real world outside of your bedroom guys....and girls they mite let u touch them if u ask nice enough ;)...and your mothers don't count

  • and im not saying WoW sucks... the players do and yes i did my research FFXI came out 2002 WoW came out 2004

  • SE said they will continue to improve ffxi as long as people still play, you can solo or join a group, there is still plenty of players on the game for people who want to start, and im sick of people saying they copied off WoW... ffxi was actually designed before WoW so kiss my ass XD

  • @necrofang007 ffxi is so different from wow, you cant even compare the two

  • @brinelord5000 im not comparing it, im saying that people are wrong if they think ffxi copied WoW

  • how download

  • Its come a long way.......

  • Lets be honest here, people are playing WoW now as a poor substitute for this game.

  • "Why play alone?"

    With the new Level Cap increase now you can solo the entire game :Oo

  • @xDanieru lol not at all sir, to even reach the level cap you have to party with 5-17 other people constantly

  • it was an alright game

  • @XPrespawn Ima play both, but I have a real good feeling that you're right, that 14 won't be as good.

  • @hornyduck122 funny how it was ahead of its time when it was released and has been for years until recently.

  • Haha compare this trailer to the ffxiv trailer, it's crazy how much video games have changed over this short time.

  • ;.; i miss my bst *go flying pink hearts of servivitude*

  • nidhogg never looked so sexy..

  • So watching this, shows SE did have alot of ideas planned out long b4 they were released saw what looked like a ToAU area and one of the spell animations was that of a BLU

  • a mmorpgs never die u always have fans on them

    but the real gamers never stick with 1 of them they are looking for something with a good chalenge not a shit like world of warcraft were whitout skill or any kwowledge only a few hours of game play and u are geared as hell

    im waiting final fantasy 14 with impatience i hope it gonna be this year XD

  • @xwtredsnake

    Same 14 will be fukkin gr8 compared to anything I believe. I played WoW and like you said it takes no skill I played FFXI from when it was released for 5+ years and you make alot more relationships on there than in WoW and its more tactical compared to wow since you dont do everything solo.

  • @ChaosTheWicked relationship is dead in World of Warcraft since the new group system every1 use the LFG tool and all guild are dying and most of the good raid guild doesnt recruit any1 because the game is full of imature kidz i left world of warcraft and i will never return on it

  • mhuahaha ffxi is a old game and its still good blizzard gonna kill wow i played WOW since 4 years and i left because since patch 3.3 its to easy and its overgrounded by immature people and kidz of 8 to 12 years old world of warcraft will never die its the kidz garden the real and true mmorpgs players already left world of warcraft if u want a game with more subscriber than WOW look at perfect world online they have over 20 millions of subscriber

  • lmao wow the graphics look so weird in this...is this an official trailer? It looks so fan-made lol. And so much Faffy! And what armor is the guy wearing in the beginning? So weird!

  • Man this video is mega old but everyone was like "oh shit, this is badass" when they first started showing it. Now, it's long been forgotten and lost all of it's epicness. Anyone watching it today for the first time wouldn't understand because game graphics have come a long way since then.

  • "Why Play Alone?" not dissing the game at all, think it's flawless in all except one aspect -- you HAVE to group to do ANYTHING, played this for ages, loved the game, but got so sick of looking for groups to get anywhere :/

  • Thank Altana the game did not look like this lol!

  • are there still servers for this? Do people still play this online?

  • yep they do but i think they miught all switch over to ffxiv once it comes out

  • @VegaOmega23 Yes, even with Final Fantasy 14 out I think there'll still be a good 100k-1mil players. I'm waiting to get a new copy to start a new profile myself.

  • Fafnir flying lol :O

  • What I don't get is if the game is called "final fantasy" then shouldn't there only be one??

  • can u play final fantasy xi offline or it has to be online?

  • @EnderSquared online only

  • @EnderSquared online

  • online only

  • @wayne110 lol everyone that played or plays FFXI is currently laughing at you- oh and the ones that obviously did their research.

  • @wayne110 lol

  • @wayne110 FFXI does have a storyline to it, several as a matter of fact, and there are many expansions that can be purchased to extend it too. I've been playing for 5 years now and can safely say that this is nothing like Wow.

  • does that mean its crap compared to wow or its better than wow lol

  • @silvyr boy i'll say. i've been on ffxi 6 years, just trying out WoW now and its very different. took me a year to get my first 75 job. with abysea its real easy to lvl up now.

  • how can you talk trash about "the story" if you haven't even played? Also, did you just judge one story of hundreds? lol

  • Comment removed

  • @wayne110 you have obviously played neither of these games and you sir are an incompitent fat kid that sit in front of his TV all day and plays CoD all day everyday

  • this trailer makes the game look pretty boring. It's actually really awesome!

  • it's still the 3rd or 4th biggest MMO out there - retaining over 500,000 individual subscribers with over 2 million characters even after 8 years.

    they've made it a lot easier for early levels - worth playing still for sure. a mind-blowingly expansive MMO, 20 jobs on a single character, and an actual storyline complete with cut scenes and memorable characters.

  • wasen't this the most misleading trailer i ever seen. I played this game for 5years.

  • do people still play this game

  • and u play what noob ? TIBIA ? hahaha grow up

  • i was asking if people still play it dumbass becuse i wil probbly buy it

  • yeah people still play it, but sometimes its kinda hard to start out cause everyone i already high lvl, but you can still pull it off, its a very good game in my opinion, you'll become addicted :P

  • 6k-10k Active players per server.

  • @Gellvos and almost always 2k+ online per server too.

  • I've been playing FFXI for years. The game is becoming boring for most of my friends. We all plan to jump on board FFXIV at launch. I don't think FFXI will be able to handle losing people to FFXIV. Too much of the game requires tons of people to do anything especially the tougher mobs.

  • Can you play this game offline, and does it have a fee online?

  • I thought ff11 was fun until you get to lvl 50+ and you have to wait hours and hours for a party...

  • this game is like a ran online game tha swordsman and Loz major fighter.....write?

  • is it too late for me to play this game. i mean is there alot of ppl online??

  • games still going good but when 14 comes out i bet the population will drop.

  • I've been hearing that an estimated 5% of the population of FFXI will leave for FF14. This is mostly due to the fact that many of these players have characters that have been around for 4+ years. That's a lot of investment to just throw away because a new version comes out.

    This is what happened to EverQuest 2. The playerbase was split in half because EQ Veterans didn't want to lose their characters and ended up sticking with the original instead.

  • 2011 might be the end of ffxi just cuz if the profits breaks even or gos under there gonna kill the servers. knowing SE ffxiv will be the same shit with different ways to them.

  • Comment removed

  • It's not worse than WoW but it is a different experience than World of Warcraft. With WoW you have a fast paced MMO that is basically a hack and slash in terms of combat. It's fast paced and it gets you into the action faster.

    With a game like FFXI it's much slower and it takes time to travel and the combat isn't as fast. It's technically a turn based combat system but with the perk of being able to move around freely in fights. It's more or less a copy of EverQuest with Final Fantasy lore.

  • is this game like the final fantasy series? cause i luv ff 1,6, 7, 8, and 9..

  • There are still around 1 Million active subscribers to FFXI. If you hear otherwise then just ignore ignorant WoW fanboys that think that World of Warcraft is the only MMO in existence. You should definitely check this game out. If you don't like it then all you have to do is cancel before your 30 day trial runs out.

    The game is easier than ever for new players to get into and level up thanks to the Level Sync feature among other things.

  • btw im definetly gunna play this

  • for 360 do u have to pay an extra subscription to play it?

  • um...this game has been out for like 3 years bud.

  • 6 years in north america, came out in late 2003 for PC, early 2004 for PS2

  • more like 5-6

  • this game IS epic ;)

  • lol is going to be ?....It's been out for a few years already

  • its been out for like 6-7yrs lol

  • Scandalous

  • so whats the monthly payment for this game

  • don't get it... it was a great game, but it's like 8 years old and ffxiv will be online and it's coming out next year....

  • The monthly payment for this game is 12.95 a month. Well that was how much i payed per month anyway.

  • thanks

  • he ate a spring onion *lol* summon!!! 0:59

  • Trailer is different from what they make it now.. it's more dramatic.. especially the intro

  • Was that a blue mage near the end? Seriously it looked like one.

  • I think it was, sure looked like it to me even had the same motion a blu uses when they cast spells

  • I can't wait for Final Fantasy XIV Beta video

  • This game doesn't get NEAR the credit it deserves. Having been released in 2002, it still blows the graphics, style, and gameplay of most of the more recent MMORPG's out of the water. The main issue most gamers (well moreso WoW lovers) is that this game doesn't provide as easy a leveling experience or as in-depth of a PvP experience. What FFXI lacks in is made up for by (if you're into it) the beautiful graphics, tons of teamwork, and more than you can possibly ask for in end-game events.

  • Hahaha I love this video. I love when the goobbue eats the mandy. XD I wish that would really happen in FFXI.

  • can it be played online for ps2?

  • Yes, but your PS2 needs to support it as it requires a harddisk. Also, there is no EU PS2 version. That said, once you make an account, you can play the game on either PC, PS2 or 360 (just not at the same time, obviously.)

  • I have been laying Final Fantasy 11 ever since it came out in Japan. JP Import was brutal but when we got the enlish version, we were hooked. I have been playing ever since and I love this game!!!

    Midgardsormr Reresent!

  • ?? i dont understand, final fantasy 6 is about Terra, Locke and Celes how is this Final fantasy 6?

  • What planet you live in?

  • oops i got my roman numerals mixed up :s

  • Gosh, good times!

    I remember my lvl 33 Taru Samurai!

    Maybe Ill get back into the game....

  • will this game cost money to play like f.eks world of warcraft?

  • yes its 12.00 a munth

  • Was this how ffxi looked like 8years ago before the updates? I don't belive it!! >.>;

  • Runescape.

  • ? What

  • I was simply commenting on the fact that you call this "gay", yet you play RuneScape. Didn't mean to confuse you there.

  • Yes

  • O_O i've never seen a goobue eat a mandragora! that must be a cutscene.

  • anyone know how to redownload play online viewer without having to reformat my hard drive for my 360??

  • I haven't played FF XI, but how similar is the trailer it's design and looks to the actual game? and are those creatures really in the game....

    It's quite odd, but the game was released in 2002 and it was first shown in 2000; But in the two years the images shown show a complete restructuring of the game and it's look .

  • I played the original NA release and a bit of the expansions. This is a pretty accurate depiction of what can be seen in the game. The dragon appears to be the World Boss Nidhogg. The only thing I saw in this trailer that isn't in the game is monster interaction (the giant purple Goobbue eats a small Mandragora).

  • Thanks for the insight! To be honest, i've always been interested in MMO's; but honestly i've found them all to be the same (point and click games, with a lot of strategy)...I'm holding off until a proper action MMORPG is released. But it looks like a good game.

  • it gets pretty fun, I tried rappelz, shaiya, 2moons, fiesta, and like a million other games but FFXI seems to be more organized. compared to all the other mmorpg games i've ever played, ffxi takes the cake imo.

  • I agree. People say the price is ridiculous. But I have also tried a lot of other MMORPG's. I still think FF is the best. But people have different tastes, so one thing you think is good somebody else may think is rubbish!

  • I have been playing that for nearly over a year and already I am DRG75 (top level in-game) and yeah from what I have seen of the trailer compared to the game all those creatures are in it at some point, it's an awsome game

  • i m getting this game today... i v heard that u need to pay to play d game... is it true ? pls answer...

  • yes its true unfortunatly =/ , but its worth it ^^

    great game ^^

  • i just got the game today lol

    but i cant play it says something about HDD can any one help me

  • will which system u got it for if its the 360 then u need to buy the hard drive for the 360 i dont know about the ps3 or PC tho only about the 360 and ps2 i got it on ps2 thats long when it just came out ^^

  • lol i have it on ps2

  • unless your Ps2 has an HDD you can't save ffxi to your ps2 since it's too big. When FFXI first came out for the ps2 it came with the HDD, and you'd need to use the old ps2, the really big ones that first came out, you put the HDD inside from the back, and use a Network adapter to connect the HDD to the Ps2.

  • lol i did that i played 6 years ago and my ps3 didnt break and my ps3 still has the thing at the back haha!

  • PS3 wasn't around 6 years ago dumbass

  • i was trying to say PS2 it was typo

  • FFXI came before Monster Hunter and they play nothing alike.

  • not only is this trailer a lot older, but so is FFXI. idiot.

  • Square Enix is Finally going to announce the new MMO Online Game the next E3 on June 2009!

  • I play everyday .... -_-

    COR75/BLM75/DNC75

    ODIN server

  • does anyone or anybody still play this game

  • A couple hundred thousand people do, yes.

  • MADDD ppl play dude

  • If I remember correctly, it's the 7th most populated MMO at the moment. Everquest 1 AND 2 COMBINED don't even make up this total and that game has a cult following.

  • Yeah about 800,000 people play, that number dosent seem like a lot compaired to the 11 million that play WoW but it is still A LOT if you think about

  • a lot more people play and quit WoW than ffxi though, also ffxi doesn't need celebs to sponsor the games lol.

  • well they recently announced there are "2 million active players" as a news article on their site.

  • They have 2 million players. Also half of WoW population is gold sellers....

  • The 2 million is on the website and there was an interview last year that said actually 60% was gold sellers. I'm sure they have taking action and gotten rid of a lot of them. Also developer don't play the game other than in test servers and they don't count themselves. They may have 11 million players but only half of them are actually active...

    FFXI is no WoW killer, it's just the game people play that don't like WoW or WoW style games(i.e. Warhammer Online).

  • I never said WoW was a bad game. I mean it wouldn't have 6 million active players if it was but I just didn't enjoy it. The player base isn't very mature. I seriously played the game on 7 different characters and wasn't usually playing with anyone older than12. The first person I played with was 7 her mom actually got on and told me that lol. I'm sure if FFXI had player cards like WoW did it would boost it's player base up by a lot but they don't which is nice so I don't have to play with kids.

  • -.- Don't be a Youtard. It is true WoW does have over 11 million players. But honestly it depends on what you are into. "crappy pve game" for you. Great PvE game for a PvE player. I used to play WoW, but I got bored with it. Doing the same stuff, it started to become repetitive for me. So now I have decided to try other games like Final Fantasy XI Online.

  • um i played wow for about 3 yrs and wow's pvp pretty much sucks so

  • You just cant compare WoW with this game...this is the first MMORPG of FF so its normal not to be perfect...and WoW...WoW is just childish..if you want to compare WoW with FF than try WoW and FFXIII......

  • wow this preview sucked ass

  • argh !!

    I been looking all over for a different and maybe older FFXI commercial.

    It goes like this :

    There is a Japanese guy eating a hamburger or a sandwich in front of his PC while a girl was out for shopping or something. When she gets home she finds out she got a message from the guy and logs into FFXI. Then they show the game and those 2 persons playing togheter.

    Have any of you watch it ??

    Is very old, FFXI wasnt released yet. Back then SE keept delaying the release for another year

  • iv been looking for that too!!!!!

  • Yeah it was on the FFX game disc.

  • wow you sure ??

    I have the FFX game and all but it has nothing about FFXI on it DX

  • I have both the FFX game and FFX International.. maybe it was on international >.>

  • I remember this trailer. It was used when FFXI first came out.

  • um, interesting... If I saw this the first time, I wouldn't buy it. But I will be missing out on a good game :p

    Things changed so much now.

  • guys i was jking ffxi is a good game :D

  • haha there showing fafnirs landing animation, this really is a teaser trailer lol

  • Ah the memories, very hard game to get into but very rewarding non the less. (Ex-BLM Taru)

  • i bought that game on ebay for 4$ on xbox 360 anyone know if we have to pay to play on xbox live?

  • yup.. ffxi is a monthly pay no matter what system you use

  • i stand by my words you are idiot

  • dude you haven't even played it i bet

  • whats the site of this game?

  • lolwut?

  • Yes, we are all happy and pieces of wood. Oh come on. Learn to type before you try to insult people. Even a three year old child would behave more mature than you.

  • is it just me or does this look way better then what ffxi looks like now adays

  • Why would they get rid of the Goobbue eating Mandragora scene? =(

  • i miss the whole playonline opening sequence. absolutely blew my mind the first time i logged in

  • lol dragon avery should be pack >.>

  • did it really use to look like that?

  • oh man, I remember seeing this AGES ago. I wonder why they did away with the eating mandragora animation :(

  • Damn it's come so far over time.

  • uhhh..can someone send me the website of this game to download it?????TNX

  • WOW is a POS. doesn't compare to FFXI at all...oh except for the nerds/virgins who play 24/7 and actualy say L-O-L in a real life conversation.

  • people really say lol in real life.....wow.... anywayz do you need headphones to play this on 360.

  • you dont need headphones to play it on any system. tho some people do use a headset. i dont but thats cuz i got better stuff to listen to :P
