What are you going on about you really are a fool.
I have 25 PS2 games, and just because i say i don\'t like 1 PS2 game, you say i bash the PS2, what are you on about, the PS2 has some awesome game i.e DMC, Onimusha, Z.O.E, GTA3, vf4, Tekken 3., so that is one of your comments completely void, and as for the first comment, when did i say i am leaving? You really think someone like you will make me leave? Well think agian!!!:mad:

Right back to the reason i made this thread, FF online, what do all the real FF fans think of this game, what are your feelings, does all the setting up bother you, or is it something you will over look, just so you can play the next game in the series?
I really hope they do sort some of the issues out before it is released in other countries, because i would give it a bash, just to play along side some of you guys from here, but i will only play if i have BB by then.
I wonder if you will be able to rent the game?
Another thing i wonder if your mate buys the game, and you install it to your HDD, i wonder if you can both play, so you only have to buy one of the game?

Over and Out

"Just to play the next in the series..." To me, FFXI isn\'t the next in the series, it\'s a damn sidestep from what FF is, and should\'ve been an individual game titled by the lines of "FFOnline" or something. If they work out the problems and the game really starts gaining momentum, count me in. That installation procedure doesn\'t seem as bad as some people make it, it will be a fraction of the time dedicated people will spend with the game anyhow

sorry but i would part with hard cash for enything with a Squaresoft sticker on it

even 100 year old donkey poo


but joking aside i rather like the idea of kicking some American Butt on FF online.

I agree with you Hawke, i think that if Square had advertised it as there big new online game, under a different game, then they might have pulled in a few more customers, because people would want to play a NEW square series. Everyone knows what FF is like, there is no surprize there!
And if they do work out the problems then it won\'t be as bad, the only reason i was saying about the downloads, is that in the UK alot of people still only have 56k( including me, but hopefully not for that long), they downloaded that on a T1 connection, and it still took them 30 mins.
But as i said hopefullly that will all be on the disk when you get it, i wonder why they didn\'t put it on the disk in the first place?
But it still does surprize me that they didn\'t sell that many copies of the game, considering the BIG fan base for FF on japan, maybe Online gameing isn\'t the next step for consoles, or maybe not in japan, as i heard that there Net setups are abit more complicated then in the US and UK.

FFXI requires an addon (Modem adapter) .. and another, much more expensive addon (Hard Drive)..

Plus the fact that Sony ran out of Hard drives (why buy the game if you cant play it)

Plus the fact that Japanese dont like online RPG\'s

Everybody who will play this game will be well aware that it is already a completely different game. Why?   Because no \'casual\' gamers who hasnt done any research is going to buy a damned $100 add on (Hard drive) So therefore "everyone knows what FF is like" is sompletely irrelevant because its NOT like other FF\'s.. real time battles etc.etc.  HUGE changes.

I dont understand, you say you dont like 1 PS2 game, but then you say it has awesome games :rolleyes:

I\'d be getting the stuff anyway...

I gots BROADBAND :hat:

Clowd, shut up

Ethan, ignore Clowd.. your not the first person who has been baited into his idiotic ramblings that don\'t make any sense.

Sorry to disrupt this little skirmish but I just wanted to say that our house doesn\'t have broadband and there\'s no way I could even play it.. So I might as well save my money for the offline FFXII.:eyemouth:

Back to this wonderful fight...

Ok.. I just bought FFXI, but I don\'t have a phone line in my room, nor a broadband connection..  Stupid? Perhaps.

One thing I did find out though.  If you have a separate modem, then you can use a dial up connection to get yourself connected to FFXI.  However they do warn you that some patches and upgrades will take ages to load on a dial up.  I wonder how the lag is going to be.

Anyhoo, this sux.  I can\'t even install PlayOnline without the darn connection.  Can\'t even use the FFXI disc without installing PlayOnline.  And all I wanted to do was watch some intro movies!!!

Oh yeah, and this was from a different thread, but there\'s a lot of people that I know of in American that has the game and are playing it.  I emailed a friend of mine at a import game shop, and he told me what\'s up.
