FFXI on Xbox 360

There are commands to take photo's but I haven't looked them up. I'm not sure if its the same way as PS2 because I don't think any buttons but alpha numeric work on the keyboards.

yeah, i know the keypad on my keyboard doesn't work. I have to use the top numbers which sucks.

On PS2, you have to press Select before taking the picture, i'd imagine it'd be the same course for the X360. And I think it was Scroll Lock before Printscreen on the keyboard, but dont really remember.

Select drops all the "border". HP bar, etc. Then hit what we would call R2 on PS2. IDK wtf they call it on 360. Its one of the triggers after select.

FYI. Awesome wireless keyboards like this Logitech below work on the 360. This Logitech is bad ass.

edit: Only wireless keyboards I know that work are Logitech and Microsoft soft so far for the 360

Well in regards i just got Final Fantasy XI running on Xbox360. the graphics definately surpass PS2 but its about on par with my PC. In terms of control it plays basically the same as it were a PS2 controller. The only drawbacks is the subscription to Xbox live is required which adds more monthly fees . But i have to say the future is with microsoft.

You do not need a subscription to Xbox Live. Xbox Silver which is the free basic access is all you need for FFXI on the 360. You think I'd pay all that?

[Dragonis]

lol. I didnt think u only needed silver to play it . Oh well guess i can cancel that gold subscription then. ;D

I'm considering going back to my PS2 but not untill i know for certain what the problem is. The Xbox keeps crashing on me. Whats worse is it only happens durring battle. When i solo its fine, but in any type of PT setting or with more than 2 others i R0 1-2 times a fight minimum. This goes on till I log out of it crashes me, to which i spent nearly 45 min before i got back on.

I know these things for sure. Its not overheating. Its not our connection. Duely sits right next to me on PS2 and he has no issues at all with connection. Checked the internet and allt he wires many times, even bought some new ones just in case. have to say its really pissing me off, this thing wasnt cheap and still 60% of my Xbox games wont work yet so overall i wasted a nice chunk of change on whats turning out to be nothing but a headache.

oh and about the characters not appearing, yeah its annoying as hell. Big deal? no, but go try browsing the black market in sauromurge(sp)... i left it sit there for almost an hour once, went and got some food. They dont eventually just appear, sometimes they dont at all. i can tell because the blue dots on radar are there.
