The video doesn't seem to be working correctly on this :/

I have heard only bad things about FFXI. Are ppl sure that this game is any good?

 

[Kaotic Soul]

I think FF XI will be released as soon as Square can find enough servers that can handle the massive amount of players for the game.

 

[Recca]

It had better be realeased in Europe
But i think it will become a major succes

@darkaurora: just open the windows media player and goto:
File/Open Url or simply press Str+U and then copy paste the link griever postet into that little text box and press ok...
btw: your nick's the name of my momma xcept for the dark....

 

[fonzieahmed]

it may be good but the requirements square released may be too high for some ppl??!

 

[Kaotic Soul]

What are the requirements anyway?

I have always liked MMORPG's because I am a RPG freak. But I havent found one with the right style. And FFXI is full of Squaresoft style and trademarks (chocobos, spells, the way characters look, music, etc..). It says on ebgames that release for ps2 is 3/04/03 but no release date for pc.

If only I could track down my post about how a typical FFXI session would be...The quality of an online RPG has nothing to do with the gilding of fancy special effects - it's about the community. Unless it's a game like Diablo, of course.

You dont think it would have a great community? Prolly around 90% of the people in this community love Final Fantasy and I would think they would like that game.

That isn't my point. Think about Final Fantasy's intended audience. Then envision that audience playing together. For a lot of players, that won't be a problem. But for a slew of others, it certainly will be.

so no release date for ffxi... too bad
hey what about the montly fee they were talking about ?
are we going to pay montly to play in their servers?

 

[griever]

I think its 10$ a month just like eq and every other MMORPG. The release date at ebgames is 3/4/03 I said ;\

 

[Syed Fawad]

What about the deals. I mean will it be coming alongwith a keyboard and mouse stuff?

 

[BlackHawk]

well..don't say "CAN'T WAIT" until you know exactly how they going to charge you !

 

[Razor Blade]

I don't think ANY game is worth money after you buy it. Squaresoft is gonna loose lots of money if they release FFXI here in North America. I am one of the biggest Final Fantasy Freaks out there and I won't be buying it. And plus with an audience mostly full of fatass lazy kids with no jobs ... Who is gonna pay the fee? there mommies and daddies? I don't think so!

 

[yakumo fujii]

Um, FFXI PC JAP is about $10USD a month.
I don't know about US releases, but I think you NEED a GeForce-based card to play FFXI PC JAP. That's what they said over at PlayOnline, at least. The graphics, however, easily beats PS2 version. You have to pay more to play Terramaster, a card game that does something I don't know.

 

[griever]

Razor you are being ignorant. I have a full-time job and I would pay for the game and the monthly fee's. In my point of view I see the game to be good in the long run. Dont stereotype this with the EQ players lol.
