Final Fantasy XI isn’t a new game but it’s a new MMO for PS2. The new PS2 version of the game is identical, to the point where you can freely transfer your player character between the different versions of the game. Yet while it’s the same Final Fantasy XI, the context is completely different. Despite the fact that the PC gaming market is oversaturated with massively multiplayer online role-playing games, many PS2 owners have never experienced such a game before. The PC is the better platform for Final Fantasy XI, and to properly enjoy it on your PS2, you’ll need to pay $100 for the PS2 hard disk drive (the game comes included) and $40 for a PS2 network adapter if you don’t already have one. Plus you’ll need a USB keyboard hooked up to your console to communicate with other players. On top of this, Final Fantasy XI is a time-consuming game that requires monthly fees associated with it.  For some players, the unique experience that Final Fantasy XI provides is worth the money, and time.
