It will shave off vital minutes, which could be spent actually playing the game.
One tip for those eager to get online, make sure you go to the Play Online website, sign up and get your activation codes before you start the download process. Numerous updates and codes to enter, plus an endless stream of terms and conditions to virtually sign made it a nail biting wait. Now when you get hold of Final Fantasy XI the first thing you’ll find is that getting online in seconds is feasible… it’s just how many seconds you think are acceptable… The download takes forever, I’m sure I’d grown a partial moustache by the time the mammoth 2 hours was up.

Anyway…when I had recovered I was hoping to just pop the disc in the tray, type in my registration code and then be online in seconds. I then banged my knee on the side of the living room table, fell over and flapped about on the carpet like a fish out of water. So much so that in my eagerness to download the MMORPG I didn’t bother to take my shoes off as I entered the house, leaving muddy footprints on my cream carpet, ah I’ll clear it up later. I’ve only ever scratched the surface of previous versions, but I have to admit to being just more than a bit excited at getting my hands on Final Fantasy XI and running it on my spanky new Xbox 360.
As soon as I heard that the beta disc for Final Fantasy XI was available in the shops I rushed down to nearest WHSmiths to grab myself a copy.
