So, I've been playing the free trial for FFXI for a while. I guess I should give out my thoughts on the game so far.

Navigation is really, really fucked up. There's no minimap, so actually finding your way around can be a huge pain in the ass.

Missions can be hard to find since it's impossible to tell what NPC gives them out. I had to look up a guide in order to find the fucking NPC that gives out the first mission in Bastok. Seriously.

Combat is pretty decent. If you hate normal MMO combat, you'll likely hate the combat in this game since it's pretty much the same thing.

So yeah, I'm kind of enjoying it. It certainly has flaws, but once I get to learning more about this game, it should be easy to overcome them.
