Games

I've been playing Final Fantasy XI (online) for eight months now and even though really love Final Fantasy (I mean, I really love it, see The Chronicles of Latcarf) I am frankly getting a bit bored with it. I want to go pretty far in the game and I don't mind that I'm paying $12.95 a month for the privilege of doing so, but the game just goes soooo slowly. And I've got to admit, it is getting pretty monotonous lately. Leveling, gil making, crafting, etc, it is just always the same. Adding to the irritation, FFXI is plagued by the same things all MMORPGS suffer from: bots that throw off the economy and "luck of the draw" party forming.

I like Square-Enix and the Final Fantasy line is one of my favorite things around but I can't wait until Final Fantasy XII comes out so I have a good reason to stop playing FFXI! The good news is that Square-Enix is probably going to release FFXII in spring of 2005. That's not too long and it gives me some time to play out FFXI a little longer.

I am hoping that between now and then, I will get to see a few more suprises that will keep me going. I do love the scenery in FFXI and I hope to see more great ares soon too. Right now, I just feel like I'm going through the motions without actually enjoying it. I hope the feeling will pass.
