Compare XI to the rest of the series

[Rostum]

Have they followed their high standards or are they pandering to the masses?

If you would bother to play the game, than just complain about the differences, you would realise that it IS a high standard game, and actually higher than any other MMORPG's I've played, and I'm sure everyone would agree with me.

How? they're both selling top of the line valuable merchandise and square has seemed to change it, am I right? Is this a break of tradition.

First of all, it is different... Video games have a completely different value than diamonds and jewels, and can be tweaked as much as they want them to be. All game companies do it.

I never got a straight answer to my first post.

Post it again, please.

Have they actually replaced FF with somthing different. not necesarraly bad, but is it significantly different. my question is if someone put out all the FF's in a row and sang that obnoxious sesame street song, "one of these things is not like the other" would everyone point to XI

That's complete and utter dumb. All the FF's are different to each other, the only thing that could be considered the same is that they are some sort of an RPG's, have Cid in them and also Chocobo's. Did you know there was actually games like FFT and FFTA? They are loved by many. Sure there's a certain 'standard' that makes an FF an FF enjoyable by the fanbase, but that doesn't mean Square-Enix can't make MMORPG's.

The point is, they have and they will continue to maintain it with a growing fanbase. And don't worry... FFXII isn't going to be online, but I can tell you it will be different than any other FF, you just better hope Chocobo's are in it.
