Hey guys, I finally have a computer capable of handling modern games (Dell XPS--yes!), and I've been thinking about getting into FFXI. I've been a fan of the series since its debut on the NES, and it's always annoyed me that I haven't been able to play this one yet. I didn't want to play it on PS2 b/c it seemed cumbersome w/out a keyboard, and expensive (HDD+netwok adapter+maybe a keyboard).
So, who has some advice for a beginner? Is it worth getting into after all this time, if only for a few months?
Assuming I get in--which I probably will--does anybody have any recommendations for a new guy? Job classes that are a good idea?
Bear in mind that I don't know much about the game, and don't have any MMORPG experience (though I've played dozens of rpgs).
Thanks!
