    Most likely I will want to give the game a shot. MMORPGs tend to end badly for me, but I think if there are some people I can have fun playing it with, I might end up enjoying it.

    I've never played a MMORPG, so I probably won't start now. I don't feel like spending the money on that. =/

    17-ish people. Not a ton, but still a good chunk of people to play with. Maybe the closer we get to the actual launch, the more we can coerce other EoFFers to play.

    I think 17 people is more than enough to max out a party. Isn't the party size maximum 15 right now?

    There is a maximum party size? And it's that low? That's horrible.

    EDIT: Oh, wait, party. I thought you were referring to clans or linkshells or whatever they're called in this game.

    This thread alone is probably the main driver for me wanting to play this game, guys.

    I doubt there will be a limit on linkshells. I was actually referring to the 18 person limit to an alliance in FFXI. I don't know what the limit is in this game.

    Once the game is closer to release we'll bump the forum to the top and hopefully get a ton more EoFFers to join us!

    Is XIV going to have international servers like XI did? Every game should do that.

    Yes. And all platforms will be on the same server (like PS3, PC, etc.).

    Do you think it will be easier to play on the PC or PS3? I was thinking PC, but my PC is kinda old, so it will probably run faster on my PS3.

    There should be some kind of download which will give you an idea of how efficiently your PC will run the game - that's what they did with FFXI, anyway. Download that once it's released and you should have a better idea of which you'll want to use for the game.

I appreciate the idea of not being shown where to go and all, and I can understand why people like this, but I personally didn't enjoy it. A game shouldn't assume you magically know every destination in it and how to get there.
    I don't think MMO's are for you, but the developers did voice they want to market the game towards both casual and hardcore players. So we'll see how things pan out.
    Does Runescape count? Because I used to play that like a mothersmurfer. Though, thinking back, I had the same initial problems there. Those being "where the Christ am I, and where the hell should I be?". But in a game like RS, I wasn't murdered immediately for even thinking about exploring.

    All they'd really need to do to get me in would be to make it a little less dependant on epic level grinding. In RS, you level grind so you can kill harder things etc., and you skill grind to get better stats and stuff. All fair enough. But you didn't have to grind if you just wanted a place to chill with some buddies. In FFXI...well, firstly I didn't have any buddies xD. But more importantly, there was nothing for me to do other than grind like a bastard if I wanted to check out another town.

    RS is ass compared to a lot of MMO's...

    But in either case, with FFXI and from what I've played of FFXIV there is a lot of room to explore in all aspects.
