those that get emotionally involved may regret it. i enjoy not being around NPCs all the time and i made some friends through it. whether Final Fantasy should stay more liberal or traditional - i can't say for the rest, but i'd like to experience more like this IMO. oh, but evolution is key to a long life...
Well, they've always been experimental. (Though now pretty much the original development team is gone..) I guess it payed off though, FFXI seems pretty successful from what I see of it.
the fact that it is a online game is wut makes it so great. the game makes it so that u have 2 depend on ppl who u have never meet but u work together because u have the same goal. and u are able 2 customize your character so much that he can be another form of yourself. true it would be cool if u had ur very own chocobo that u could customize and inprove as well (hope they do that some time) but all in all the game is great
P.S has anyone made a thread about why we dont have are very own chocobos
You didnt read the patch notes did you? In the expansion there WILL be chocobo breeding and racing along with a pokemon stadium.
well i geuss i didnt but thats cool that they will be doing thatOriginally Posted by Lionx
xD?
I'm poor. So yes, it bothers me.
Plus I hate games that have no end. =[
I like Kung-Fu.
I get bored with online games very very quickly. Though it may have an engaging story later on it moves at a snails pace at the beginning (and probably through the rest of the game as well).
So unless you can withstand the boredom of doing all those random battles just to level up your character so he will become powerful enough just to begin something you will probably lose interest in it very quickly.
So in my opinion it does bother me.
Maybe someday they will come up with a way that will make online games stories just as engaging as single player rpg's are. But FFXI is not that game.
It kind of irks me that this game is online. At the least it shouldnt have been labeled as part of the series. It shouldve been a siequest type of game like FF Adventure, Mystic Quest, Crystal Chronicles, Tactics, etc.
The thing is, i can still play Final Fantasy for the NES 15 years after i bought it. We will NOT be able to play FF XI 15 years from now.
Oh boo hoo. *hands you a tissue* Why do so many people complain about this? Get over it, it happpened and that's that. Who cares what it's labeled as... Does it affect you playing the other Final Fantasy's? No, so get over it. There's heaps of others to play.It kind of irks me that this game is online.

"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
it most definetly is "That" game.
in-fact, what I have played of it (currently paused subscriptions due to Guild Wars Lovinism), its been my faveorite storyline to date.
and once you have found that story, you will never get bored, its lenghthy and theres about 3 of them, about to be a fourth.
I put that it 'kind of' irks me. Kind of is not a definite.Oh boo hoo. *hands you a tissue* Why do so many people complain about this? Get over it, it happpened and that's that.

And yes it does effect me playing the FF series as the game will be completely gone and unplayable in about 5 years.
I think he was more referring to the arguement that it should have been titled something other than Final Fantasy XI. That's a tired, old complaint that's been annoying since before the game came out.
But it doesn't affect you playing the rest of the series. So what if they skipped a number? I don't see how that will affect you playing the earlier and later games...
And Ouch! hit it on the nail, it's such an overused arguement. It get's a bit annoying.
Edit: I can strongly say this game isn't going to end in 5 years. Hardly many mainstream MMORPG's end, some are still going strong from a decade ago.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
which is a very lengthy amount of time to play it.
