I played it during beta, so I get to keep my handle name.  I don't know if I'm able to use the beta version or have to buy the game.  But I too will wait for Friday cuz it's pay day.

Does FFXI has the same typical FF-Feeling like FFVII/VIII/IX/X?

In a way, it has a whole new feel to it, but still seems like and is a FF game. Real sweet, get it as soon as possible.

I'm not getting FFXI... it's pay to play. And from what I've read.... 6 GB of installation space?   :o Doesn't sound too good to me.

Seph2000: Not sure what you're talking about..... but, FFXI isn't out in North America for PS2 yet... or unless you're playing the Japanese version?

Yep. Got the Japanese version, and since i'm teaching myself Japanese now I can read a bit of what they're saying.

My friend at college has installed FFXI PC. 6GB? And it takes(from his comp)thirteen hours to install, procceeded by an extra ten hours for all the updates. Now you see why i settle with the PS2 version! :wink:

FFTactic_Boy: I don't even live in North America.

well the problem with the PS2 version will be: NO UPDATES. thus if one char is overpowered he will stay for the rest of the game. so evryone takes that char so evryone is overpowered and evryone quits cause its one overpowered bunch sh*t

Doesn't the ps2 version come with a hard drive for updates? Oh, why bother asking, I already know the answer. Yes, it does come with a hard drive (more extra money they are capitalizing upon) so that you can get updated if they suddenly realize the game is getting shitty. That's why MMORPG's suck. They are always changing, and some asshole in marketing thinks its a great idea to "shake things up a bit" by making the game completely different in a single update. Well, if I ever do play on playing that suckfest, it'll be on a friend's tab; I'm not paying for such shite.

Actually, he might be right.....

This is what I've read from Gamespot:
Quote from: Gamespot
The game's automatic patching utility needed to update more than 7,000 game files, a process which took more than 30 additional minutes of time, and that's with a very high-speed Internet connection. Though the system requirements suggest that a 56K modem is sufficient for playing the game, clearly, the amount of time it would take to download all these updates would be completely prohibitive for narrowband users.


And Rubicant's right too... the PS2 comes with a hard drive for updates.

Not that it matters for me, since I don't own a PS2 and I don't intend to buy the PC version of FFXI.

well in a mmorpg it isn't: Where do i go? but: What do i want?

there is no way u should go the same way someone else goes. there is now "right" way to get to a point, there are no bosses wich u have to defeat to get further in the game. there are no long talks bla bla. Only thing in the game that is set is the quests. But its just based on team play grouping and chatting during playing.

an MMORPG = A nice graphics based chat program where u can level a character.

Installing the game is hell, but after that it's really fun.  I'm playing on Bismarck server as Galadyn if you wanna look me up.

Well, it's worth the money. Then again, if you don't like paying for games over the web, i perfectly understand. I don't have that much money either...very short right now...
