I got a chance to play the beta of FF XI for a couple of weeks now and I must say I am very excited. The graphics and music in the game are up to normal square soft standards, which I found to be shocking for an Online RPG. THe whole game has a very old school final fantasy feel. More like final fantasy 6 and final fantasy tactics (The job system is like that in FFT).

Now I was wondering if anyone else here was excited for this game, since it comes out soon here in the US (PC version, PS2 has to wait till March or so)

Friend of mine has had the import PC version for a while and he loves it.

Thing is I'm really not into MMORPG's much, even though I'm a HUGE FF nut, I don't see myself even getting this game.

FFXII on the other hand.....:drool_2:

See normally I am not a MMORPG fan, but this game seems to have something more to it. From what I have seen, the game has a story, which leads me to believe that there is an ending of some type. That would drive me to play it because then I feel like I am really accomplishing something, unlike Everquest and the like.

I've played the Japanese PS2 version off and on for about a year now - it's pretty good, folks!

There's a story you can follow (more so than something like PSO), the world is HUGE, there's plenty to do, and there's tons of people playing. If you're a MMORPG fan, it's the only game in town.

I'll buy it for myself for sure, but I'm not sure if I'll spend too much more time with it. It's STILL an MMORPG, and it's STILL too much "work". Years ago I would've had the time to do something like this, but not now...

No... I'll skip this despite my good FF collection (FFVII - FFX :p) and consider FFX-2 as its replacement.... FFXII, I could not wait... That teaser poster just teases me more and more...

Hmm, I'm sorr, but I don't count that as a "good final fantays collection". No FF4, 5, or 6? Yeah, that's some great collection you've got there. :oh_no:

FF games are suposed to be played alone, this is a FF i will definitly skip on on if there's no way to play it alone and offline.

I hate Final Fantasy 8. Its the worst game i have ever played. I was so dissapointed with it. FF7 and Tactics were so grand, and then we got this crap. FF9 was decent, but i lost interest after that.

But no i wont be picking up FF X1, i'm not really into MMORPG's.

I am gonna try the PC version. I dont think the PS2 HDD will really have a long list of games that use it enough to warrant me buying one for my PS2.

I had V and VI, but I sold it... The stupid loading times are harsh annoying... That's why I didn't buy the PSOne version IV and Chrono Trigger as well... I know the loading time will kill me... To think a 2-D game would be faster than a 3-D game, huh?...

Ya you would think 2d would load faster then 3d:p

V and VI have got to be some of the worst ports I have ever played

Question: have you ever met a member of this board in a MMORPG?

Hells yes. I'm gonna get in on the ground floor with this baby.
Some of my friends at work who are Star Wars:Galaxies nuts are going to jump ship when this comes out. One of the cool things about this game is that since it's been out in Japan for so long, most of the bugs will have already been worked out, unlike the virtual nationwide beta test that SW:G still is.

Hope to see some of you on there. Playing FFT:A has really got me in the mood for this.

You know, you are the last person I'd expect to be jumping in on this. I'm assuming you'll be doing the PC version?

A few of my friends are going to get in on this but right now I donno.....

Yep, PC version for me.

I upgraded my PC a few months ago and really haven't played anything on it yet (besides TEH ROMZ). :cool:
The group of people bugging me to join in at work is the main reason, plus, like I said, playing FFT:A has me in a very FF happy kind of mood.
