Gaming Before I plan to buy FF11 Online

[bradzx]

I am thinking to buy Final Fantasy 11 Online, but I want make sure before I make a mistake to buy.

Do I have to use Gold Member to play this game? I hope this is not same thing what I did rent the game from library, Titanfall because it require for Gold Member.

If you plan to purchase Final Fantasy XI Online, please purchase the PC version. The XBox 360 version is no longer supported and I don't think it can connect to the servers anymore. Also, that game does cost about $13 USD per month.

Really? My computer dont support that kind of game. I know you will suggest me to get gaming computer or laptop. So what happen to 360 version?

The PS2 and X360's server has been shut down, the only one active now is PC.

If they shut it down, then why they made PS2 and 360 in first place? Why waste their time?

It's all about money. When they release that game, those consoles were still new. Once they're considered dead in the developers's eye and the money's stopped flowing, the update support will be crippled and will eventually be shutted down. I'm sure FFXIV and TES Online on PS4 and XOne will suffer the same fate.
A little off topic, but here in my country, these kind of game (online wise) didn't even last 5 years. Most publishers here only support the servers for maybe 2 or 3 years until finally they announce the server shutdown.

You could get lucky as the case for PSO and people setting up their own servers. Maybe you can convince someone to do it?

How can your computer not run a game designed for Windows XP and dial-up internet. I first played FFXI with a 1.5GHz AMD Athlon single-core 32-bit processor and a Radeon Hd 2700 with 256 MB ram. The requirements haven't increased that much. It still doesn't work properly on any Windows besides XP.

That computer I posted was built in 2003. If your computer is that old you are in desperate need of an upgrade.
