Im not sure if it can get any better than this. If there was a perfect MMORPG, this is it. -INSANE graphics (for an MMORPG). The areas are detailed and ENORMOUS, and the character designs are wonderful. Stunningly beautiful in every way.
-Sound can get a little repetative, but this only happens after you would hear it for a loooong time. Otherwise, a job well done in this category.
-The gameplay is interesting and has enough tweaks and curves to make it unique in its own way.
-Obviously, youll get alot of replay value.
-And of course, the hard drive a nice feature to add to your console. All PS2 owners should buy it. Unfortunately, you cant download music and such to it (i dont think), but you CAN move your saved game memory from your memory card over to it, which is extremely useful. A few other nice touches have been given to the hard drive as well, such as faster load times, and smoother graphics (makes games run better).
-Overall, FFXI is genius. Square, you never have ceased to amaze me, and this is you at your best. I salute you.
