Start with bad things about this game: American Greed and Racism; People expect the more experienced players to give them everything, and that wont happen so they call the experienced players cursewords and racist terms. This causes other players to not group with American players. This is peoples fault, not the games fault. You can't find a party after level 60+ on my server because of racism. The main reply you get is "NO ENGLISH, NO THANK YOU" because of us being lame to others. Other people ruin this game for me, not the game itself. But I still play.Good Things:Excellent Game, you dont even have to level if you dont want to. Skills, crafts, everything. The story really starts at level 45 or so. Be prepared to invest ALOT of time. Leveling is nice. This game is VERY challenging compared to prior FF releases. Be prepared for a HARD game, and yes that is a GOOD thing. :-)
