I'm gonna go the PS2 route myself if in case that wasn't obvious fromt he intial post. I"m not really worrying about the initial investment if anything because I really see it worth it. I"ve been a fan of MMORPG myself but unfortunatly the computer I have and have had never really were up to date with the newest one out there. Ragnorak ruled for an hour but with the sucky graphics card on this machine...it was a f'sking pain. Runescape was fun but I really found more fun in completeing the missions then I did in actually partying and meeting new people.
With FFXI this thing really seems to be the entire package for me and for some of my friends. Most of my friends have already called dibs on my cable bandwidth, so hopefully I guess my social life won't be totally dead.
I'm hoping to start out as a red mage and slowly work my way up to Samarui after enough time. After the release everyone is more then welcome to message me for party info.
