So lets say if I play the 360 version and my friend has the PC version, will we be able to play together? Ive been looking for this answer for a while now and i cant seem to find out. Hopefully someone here can help me out. Thanks :D

Yes, the servers for the xbox 360 version of FFXI and the PC version are the same. I've been playing on the 360 version, and I'm on the same server as my friend, who's been playing on the PC version.

sweet. which would you recommend? 360 or pc version? i think the fact that you can play an MMO on a console is awesome. Are their any downsides for it on 360?

I can't really comment on the PC version, as I've only just started the installation process for it on my PC. The 360 version is just the same as the PC, with some differences.

Firstly, you can not use Tetra Master (FFIX's card game, which makes a comeback for this) on the 360, but you can on the PC and PS2 versions.

You are also limited to being able to take only 100 screenshots on the 360, while for the PC you can take more (I'm unsure as to the exact amount though. I've heard of some image capture programs you can use, without using the screen capture with FFXI, but haven't seen much of them tbh).

There are some other differences, but when you get down to it, the 360 version is just the same as the PC. All that should determine which one is best for you, is your own personal preference : Do you prefer 360? or do you prefer PC?

PC you can increase the framerate to 60 fps.
