Final Fantasy XI buddy invite?

demolishIX

 Well im set on buying FFXIV ,but it will still be more then a month till launch,and I want to play abit of FFXI to get the feel of the universe and to kill time... the only site ive found where I can digitaly download FF XI was steam (the other 2,D2D and gamestop dont have it anymore for DD) ,and I have credit card problems with steam,no card works and im not in the mood to jump threw hoops to get it to work.

 

 Soo all in all,does anyone happen to have a buddy invite for FF XI they can spare ?

I had the same problem a week ago or so. Was trying to digitally purchase the EU version of the game to play before FFXIV because I didn't get in beta. You won't be able to purchase the Steam version since it's for US and Canada users only but there is a digital download from the official EU FFXI site you can use. I had the game downloaded in less than an hour with their service, it's easy and fast. The game costs more there, though, it's 20 EU for the full pack instead of Steams' 15$.

As somebody in your position, I have to tell you, it's totally worth it, even if it's only for 2 months. And who knows, they may even decide to release it a bit later The game is so deep that you'll feel like you could wait for another year and not only 2 month, playing FFXI.

Anyways, the link for the EU download is here: http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/intro/shop.html
