GameBanshee Feature: Final Fantasy XI Review

We've posted a review of Final Fantasy XI, giving Square Enix's MMORPG debut an overall score of 7.7/10. An excerpt:
The community makes the game interesting, as there is an Auction House where all your wares are bought and sold creating a capitalistic player driven society, definitely cool. If you are starving for a new spin on an Everquest-style MMORPG in a more popular gaming universe this worth giving a try. If you are looking for PvP or exploration, look elsewhere. There are no new American servers so you will find yourself surrounded by Level 70s that have been there and done that. Anything you do has already been done, a pretty big drawback at times. The bottom line is that FFXI is an above average MMORPG that should, at the least, make for a fun game to play while waiting for highly anticipated games like World of Warcraft or Everquest 2.
