>>> I was wondering about how many people really cares about this game..
BTW, I dont.
Yes
No
in before "i hate it because you have to pay to play"
I do really care about. If they fix even half of what's wrong with FFXI, i know i'll like it.

I may check it out then again I said that about XI and I spent an hour trying to figure out the controls and where I was supposed to go on like the 1-2nd quest and decided the game sucked so yeah...
FFXI had a steep learning curve. FFXIV won't have one that is quite as steep. In fact, it seems like they're going for quite the opposite.

it still yicks me offf that SE is puting online games in the main series, its idiotic if you ask me. why not just lable it FFO and FFO2, its make more sence.
XI = 12
XII = 13
wouldnt that make much more sence
Who cares, it's just a freaking name.

Controls were odd for me at first too, but I suppose that's why there's a manual.
There's no such thing as a 1st and second quest really, there's about 30 quests available from the start in each city, each in varying difficulty. Some will be harder than others and some will be vaguer than others. While some quests will leave you relying on checking the internet, there's also many quests that tells you exactly what to do.
That said, FFXI is not a game everyone will like..
and yeah, I care, I'm definitely going to get a trial version if that's possible from launch. If not I'll probably get it anyway and cancel if it turns out absolutely horrible, which I doubt it will.
I'm pretty excited to try it out.
When it comes out, if the reviews are good, I will see if I can get it, so yes.
Well never played 11 so will probably try the trial for this when it comes out. You can do a lot in those 7-10 days.
If I have the dough, this game looks pretty sweet.
And for the whiners who say the online games shouldn't be part of the main series, just because you actually have to interact on some level with other people does not make it any less of a Final Fantasy. In fact, if anything FFVII and FVIII and even X should not be part of the main series as their worlds are all MUCH different than the standard traditional medieval settings, and that's a MUCH bigger difference than online play. Fact of the matter, Square can name their games anything they damn well want. They're working on XIII and XIV at approximately the same time to please everyone, so stop bitching.
By the way, this is coming from someone who has never played an online game in his life, and is a fan of FFVII and FFX.
More than FFXIII actually.
FFXI is amazing, and FFXIV will be an FFXI I'll have the time to experience the beauty of.
Very excited. Played FFXI for around 6 years too.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I look forward to playing it, definitely. While I agree that FFO and FFO2 would have made more sense, I don't really care at all and can understand that they would have had problems dealing with the fact that there is already a website called FFO that has been around for a very long time. It would be like them calling a game Eyes on Final Fantasy - I mean, I'm sure we wouldn't mind, but SE probably would have some issues somewhere along the line.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
