  • FFXI - who's going to bother?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I'm not. I'm not interested in playing a MMORPG because I can't (won't) put that much time into a game.

And I realize FFXI is an online game, but considering that most people who go to Online Gamethought are those who play online games, I figured this was more appropriate.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>If it was on the Xbox... ; )

Have they figured out a way to make the add-ons affordable yet? Just curious...

Personally, I think an MMORPG Final Fantasy is a neat idea...but I really hope they have a PvP server...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I might purchase the game, but like every other multiplayer RPG I've played (Everquest, Ultima Online, etc...), I'll probably lose interest within a week or two.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I think it's a neat idea as well. The opening movie for it is fantastic. I just avoid MMORPGs in general because they're huge time sinks.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Plus, i like the fact that everyone will have the same speed system. No ones computer will be better then the other guys. I know D2X isnt a real MMORPG but it proves my point that people with good comps had an advantage in dungeons that had tons of monsters, and PvP for that matter.</div>

<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't the PS2 FFXI and PC FFXI be compatible? Meaning that people can join any game regardless of whether they're using the PC or PS2 version?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Oh, i wasnt aware of a computer version. Well if i do get it i'll get the PS2 version and unlike some computer games i KNOW it will run fine because, well, they have to make it run well with no lag or else half their market will be pissed.</div>
