After carefully reviewing all seven of the movies, I can\'t see how anyone could only watch 3 movies a day. That would be unjust. So I have all of them here and I was wondering which three should I recommend to poeple. :)

Exploring the city (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi7.mov)

Talking to NPC\'s around town (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi6.mov)

Under the ruins (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi5.mov)

Hey! Weren\'t you just in town Big Guy? (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi4.mov)

Should I cast a spell or hit it with a stick? (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi3.mov)

Can never get this movie working. . . but just encase they do. (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi2.mov)

Look guys another Goblin Leecher (http://ps2movies.ign.com/ps2/video/ffxi1.mov)

If they made you choose only three. Which ones would you watch?

I\'d download em if I could.. but I\'m on 56k. Sides, the game ain\'t commin out till 2003.. I ain\'t gettin too hyped up yet. Sides, I don\'t need anything else to psyche me up.. I\'m already getting the game.

Look for me:

Tesla: Hume (m) - Paladin
Mana: Mithra (f) - Red Mage
Sinue: Hume (f) - Barbarian. Or any class that can use claw like fist to fist weapons.

I can\'t wait for this game, grrr.  It\'s driving me insane.

Here is a good read, tells you a lot about the game, if you trust IGN... they don\'t have all the jobs listed, I think there are supposed to be 4 more.

Another goblin Leecher:
Shows flawless speed with 4 characters, 1 tree, and two monsters in the immediate area.  Also, how we will always have jerks and leeches around.

They can never....
Well, it works for me.  Leecher boy redeems himself by leading the attack.  Mebe he\'s just a magic user or such.

Should I cast a spell...:
Leechee boy takes about a billion years (slight exageration) to ask group what they want him to do.  Joins at the end of another goblin battle.

Hey, big guy were...:
Really love the environmental detail.  Guy is running towards some ruins, not much to see tho, little action.  He may be followed by a big brute.

Under the ruins:
Really shows the independant control of the camera well.  Good draw distance, and shows the entrance to some ruins.

Talkin to NPCs:
Walkin around town, quick glimpses of map, menu system, and NPCs - but bad glare.

Exploring the city:
More talkin to NPCs, we see merchant/NPC menu bar.  More town.  Did I mention that this game looks amazing?  I can\'t wait.

OMG OMG! They\'re having a CIRCUS on the livecam right now as I type this! there is sword juggling and fire breathing and stuff! OMG OMG!

This game just got a million times more cooler, even tho I hate the circus in real life, heh... I never expected something like this.  I wish I could take a video of this.

:eek: :eek: :bounce: :bounce:

you\'ll prolly have to use your Japanese connections n\' everything.. PlayOnline isnt available to Americans yet (imagine how long I have to wait!.. stupid Australia)

or at least some l337 hax0riz0xingz skills

As much as I love Final Fantasy I don\'t see how it can take over EverQuest.  Unless EverQuest 2 screws them over.

How long have you been playing EQ?  That game gets so boring after a while.  I played it for over a year recently, before that I played for probably 6 months (I took a break in between), and now it\'s probably the most boring game I have... once you get into level 50+, you\'ll get bored quick.  There\'s very little to do there except kill kill kill, it\'s really boring in the high levels.  You\'ll begin to realize how screwed up the game really is, how messed up the tradeskills are.

Hopefully FFXI won\'t be the same way, it seems Square payed more attention to the trade skills and what you could do so you wouldn\'t get so bored in the game.  It seems they gave you more to do.  One can only hope, I guess.

Yeah, PlayOnline isn\'t available to Americans, but I think that if I used the FFXI Japanese version, then the game should attempt to connect to the Japanese PlayOnline service, which would mean that I would be signing in through the Japanese server.  Even if I am physically located in the states, I think that it actually might work.
