Today I can get 1 Xbox 360 game and I want a good online multiplayer RPG with a good story line too.I have been thinking about either getting Oblivion or FFXI.Which one do you think I should get and why.

FFXI = huge files, sub-par graphics and extra cost, but multiplayer.
Oblivion = awesome graphics, great gameplay, lots of fun, but no multiplayer.

I suggest Oblivion, but chat while you play it. That' what I often do.

Yeah I would suggest getting Oblivion too. It may not have multiplayer but it has enough content to make up for that.

Well I wanted an online multiplayer RPG but Oblivion doesn't have it and FFXI takes up a lot of memory and there are no acheviments on it and I wanted a game with achievements in it.Also what do you do when you play online in Oblivion because I know it's and Xbox Live game.

well don't base it on if a game can get you achievements or not :lol:

if you're looking to rack up achievements, just rent a game

If you're looking for an Online RPG, FFXI is the only way to go, though Obivion is so huge and the AI is so great it might feel like it is actually an MMO in a way

the AI in oblivion isnt that great.....and theres a total of like 4 voices in the game LOL....if you got the cash and can take a hit in the graphics dept, have a KB, lots of time then FFXi is the way to go.

oblivion is preety good if you just play here and there on some days, and its decently long enough...the main story is short, and most of the guilds can be done in about 4 hours each....its a good 80hr play through....

It says Xbox Live but that only means you can download content for it. There is no multiplayer at all in Oblivion. With that being said, it's still a great game that will keep you busy for hours. And if you buy FFXI then you have to pay a monthly fee. Of course you may not mind paying monthly for it but I know that's the reason that I haven't bought it. If you still can't decide between them then just rent Oblivion and I believe FFXI comes with like a 30 day free trial right? If you don't like after your free trial then you can take it back. But you'll have to look into that because I can't remember for sure if it does have the free trial.

^30 day free trial but you cant return it :-p

my rec is if you dont got the cash to spare or dont have a lot of time on your hands then buy oblivion it will be a better use of your money


and live enabled means that you can sign into xbox live and view your friends list and what not, it does not mean that there is any type of MP, all 360 games are live enabled but dont necesarily have MP

Well for me $10 is like nothing so I could pay for FFXI monthly and still have enough money to soon buy Oblivion.
