the is not a flame thread, troll back off.

I've never play FFXI before, hence I got  a couple of question

 

1:  What's the different between FF and AO.

2: How is the econmy in AO comare to FF

3:  what about the grind factor?

 

Thanks for all your input.

Which FF Character Are You?

    1:  In FFXI you have a single character you control, after level 10 you're almost always forced to find a party (except for a few jobs).  In AO, you control upto 9 characters at a time, it is very much like the older FF games (FFXI is more like a standard MMO).  In FFXI however your one character can switch to any job at anytime, just by visiting your mog house.

     

    2:  In FFXI, Gil (money) is hard to come by.  You're almost always broke, and finding money to craft is a major grind.  In AO there are several different ways to make good money, and you can start early on.  I've never really had any problems getting money to buy whatever I needed.

     

    3: The grind factor of both games is same and different at times.  In FFXI you will spend most of your time in a group killing monster after monster.  You will find some quests you can do for Reputation or Job quests, the campaigns are fun too.  In AO it's almost strictly a quest grind until you get to around 80-90, then you will start to have gaps in your quests and have to start grinding monsters, or do PvP.

     

    As much as I like AO, I still think that FFXI is better.  I'm probably biased since FFXI is pretty much tied with Dark Age of Camelot as my favorite MMO ever.

          I liked AO better myself....It was much easier to get into it and jsut alot about FFXI turned me away........The graphics were horrible and it felt like all I did was run around aimlessly all the time.......The community was not very helpful and I could never find a group so I gave up on FFXI fairly quick.......AO had a very helpful community and I thought it was a good game, especially for a free game.
