Final Fantasy 11 Online - Strategy Guide (Page 09)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Final Fantasy 11 Online - Strategy Guide (Page 09).

Q. - Does FFXI have a monthly fee? If so, how much.
A. - Yes FFXI has a montly fee of $12.95 per month. You can get more things for
     more money. Each extra character you make is another $1.00 per month and
     Tetra Master (A cool card game) is also another $1.00 added on to the fee.

Q. - Is FFXI hacked a lot?
A. - No. If it does get hacked, the person who hacked it gets banned/sued.
     After the hacker is taken care of, they fix the problem fast.

Q. - Is the HDD required for the PS2 version?
A. - Yes, there is no way out of this. You have to buy it. Currently it is
     required to play FFXI and will add upgrades for SOCOM II and Grand
     Turismo 4. However, it will come pre-loaded with FFXI for $99.

Q. - Can you run out of Stamina while you are running?
A. - No, you cant. You could run as long as you want. There is no stamina bar.

Q. - When does this game get fun?
A. - This is actually a fairly common question. This game is unlike most other
     MMORPGs. This game has a weird "fun" system.
     (Mediocre Fun)=lv 1-9 (Little Fun)=lv 9-15 (Great Fun)=lv15+

Q. - Can you make a Male Mithra or a Female Galka?
A. - No. These races are of one sex ONLY. 

Q. - I got a weird answer when I did the benchmark test. What does it mean?
A. - Most likly it was the "Direct3D" one. This one shows the words "Direct3D"
     with a bunch of symbols after it. This means that your graphics card is
     not good enough to play the game. You should get a new graphics card if
     you want to play this game.

Q. - Should I get this game?
A. - This is the best MMORPG I have played. If you like MMORPGs, then all I
     have is "all-systems-go". If you want a better review, then look at some
     reviews.

Q. - What does the score I got for the benchmark mean?
A. - From the official site:

*******************************************************************************

Cannot run - 999: "Too Weak To Be Worthwhile" PC
Unfortunately, we assume that the specifications of your computer do not meet
requirements to run FINAL FANTASY XI for Windows. If you have this score even
though your computer meets the minimum system requirements, please adjust the
software resident on your PC. If your computer does not meet the minimum system
requirements, please consider upgrading your machine.

1000 to 1499: "Easy Prey" PC
We assume that your computer can run FINAL FANTASY XI for Windows. However,
your frame rate may drop when in a party with lots of effects or in crowded
cities. You should set the game settings (such as resolution and texture) as
low as possible. In addition, if these symptoms bother you, you may consider
upgrading your computer (such as increasing the amount of memory or upgrading
your graphics card, etc).

1500 to 1999: "Decent Challenge" PC
We assume that your computer can easily run FINAL FANTASY XI for Windows with
the default settings. If the frame rate bothers you when you run FINAL FANTASY
XI for Windows, you may change the game settings (resolution or texture
settings, etc) or adjust the display of weather effects.

with the default settings. You should be able to play easily with weather
effects on.

for Windows. FINAL FANTASY XI might run just as smoothly as in low resolution
mode.

3000 to 3999: "Very Tough" PC

even in high resolution mode.

4000 or above: "Incredibly Tough" PC

well with the default settings. If your video card exceeds the recommended

easily even in high resolution mode or with bump mapping enabled.

20-Special Thanks


---Thank You...Thank You All---

I would like to say a good "Thank You" to:

- My Mom - 
It sounds really corny but since she has let me piss her off about FFXI and my
great obsession about it. Im surprised she has lasted this long.

- My Dad - 
This is his computor.

- Zack Huber (exile2k2) -
Gave me all of the commands in the "The Basics" section. Also gave stats for
the Dark Knight's scythe.

- Chris Grant (OwNjOO) -
Corrected some spelling/grammer mistakes.

- Bradley Lawrence (Cecil) -
Told me that Barstonra was for WHM, which made me realize that all the Bar-ra
spells are for WHM. So a good correction there.

- Taylor Risley (Grypht) -
To make a semi-longish story short, he let me know about the Bar spells for
RDM, so I added them.

- Elk of death -
Corrected the Elvann's AGI stat for DRK.

- Me - 
I'm thanking myself because without myself, there would be no guide.

- Stat Calcualtor -
This is where I got max stat info.

- Shadow-Dragons -
For some info on job moves.

- ffxionline -
Gave me the basic info on where to find the advanced job quests.

- Tazirai -
Stats for summoner AF and Red mage AF.

- Kagetsu -
Stats for Beastmaster AF, Monk AF, Paladin AF, Thief AF, Dragoon AF.

- Zsedc -
Stats for the rest of Dark Knight AF, Samurai AF.

- Atma -
For making the artifact armour website .

- Maxim -
For some major corrections.

- Russta -
For samurais 'rice ball' correction.

- RPGdemon -
For organising everything all the AF stuff, putting the AF info together and
finding the AF stats for: White Mage, Black Mage, Bard, Warrior and Ranger.

- Toby Stauss (Savage) -
RSE info and starting ring info.

- My own free time - 
Since I have so much free time I can spend all day doing pointless stuff. I
decided to put that time to good use by making a guide. 80+ hours of free time
a week is how I produced this guide in a couple of days.

21-Closing


This FAQ was probably the longest thing I have ever made (excluding my three
"videogame designs on paper"). This is still somewhat of a work in progress but
hopefully it has helped you out in some sort of way. There Is many aspects of
this game I have yet to put on this guide because it is such a immense game.
With the expansions making this guide all the more longer, I may have trouble
keeping up (despite my age). If you have something about the guide you want to
say then E-Mail me. Unlike most people I will take criticism and remarks that
hopefully will make my guide all the more better. What you say may not get in
the guide, but if it does you will know. Your name will be in the "Special
Thanks" section. Oh, and try to make it something readable. I will give you a
reply if I cannot understand anything you say. I will always reply to an
E-Mail. That my friends (in FFXI and anyone reading this FAQ) concludes this
FAQ for now.
