Final Fantasy XI for the 360...
-Blank- \| 8:06 PM on 12.31.2007	4 comments

Havent even played it yet

my step bro picked up a copy and let me use it since he doesnt have xbox live

so i said sure, popped it into my console and get into the PlayOnline launcher.

you have to eregister or whatever to use PlayOnline, so i started going through it.

this is where i turned it off and laughed.

they wanted to know my credit card number (and usually people dont require you to put your credit card number unless they are going to charge you for service.)

at the top, it read: "Play Online will not charge you for use of its services, although you must provide a valid credit card number"

anyone played this for the 360 before? any suggestions? cuz im fairly certain that their gonna charge me, like it is for the PC and stuff

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

It's $12 a month, to play FFXI online. It's not a scam, I played it for like 3 monthes. Pretty good game.

Clockwork

You DO know it has a monthly fee, right?

PlayOnline is free, it's FFXI that cost money.

The first 30 days of FFXI is free. It's $12.95 each montha fter that.
