Title: Who plays FFXI here?
Post by: kokopuphz on June 10, 2002, 05:42:31 PM

Anyone in this forum actually own and play FFXI?  Chrono?  I\'m going to buy the game soon, and I\'ll be back in the states end of July, so I was hopin that there\'d be some english speakers here that\'d be interested in teamin up and forming a group.  I\'d go with the Japanese thing, but really... Japanese lately has just been giving me a damn headache

You wont be able to play the game online in america or anyplace besides Japan if you import it. Its not a wise idea. Well, if you just wanna look at it.

Animal, could you possibly explain to me exactly why it won\'t work?  I\'m also a little iffy about whether it will work there or not, but I really don\'t see any reasons as to why it wouldn\'t.

From what I understand of it, the server will know that your not in Japan and will either not connect you or just drop you. I have friends in HK who are tryin to play this game and they are getting problems like this.

Eventually - this game is gonna allow inter-regional co-op, am I correct? At least, from my understanding, I thought this game would allow team co-op from Japanese to Americans to Europeans once the game has been released internationally.

I haven\'t heard anything like that Gman, since AFAIK, FFXI dosen\'t have any quick-chat type features which will translate what phrase you choose into the language of the person viewing it. Also, if they do add in something like that, I hope they do a better job than Sega. I mean, sure the quick-chat on PSO is an excellent addition, but it\'s flawed. I just met this lil japaneese chick named Z E R O who\'s a blast to play with.. but I can\'t do the translation thing over simple mail.. so if she\'s in a password game it\'s not like I can just ask her for the pass or send her a note saying Hi or anything.

I thought all Japaneese students had to take basic english classes in school? How come most of them that I meet can\'t understand a word I\'m saying??
