Should FFXI be online!?
Do you think that FFXI should be on line or should they have left it to its original form

I think its a good idea for the FF series to move on to somthing new, I just doubt the Internet is ready:
Broadband, seems to be getting on only ok-ish in America and Japan. As for the Internet's "third-world" (also the Health-care and Winter Olympic's), the UK; I think broadband is many years away. I also have doubts over the choice of primary platform. As much as I like the PS2, the idea of spending god-forsaken ammounts of cash on a Hard-Drive and Net adapter (shouldn't these have come as standard?!), not too mention buying and subscribing to the damn game as well (and then theres the cost of the PS2 Therefore I'll most likely play FFXI on PC....

Oh well, I think it should be online, at least we'll be able to try something different
But I completely agree with the artist: the Internet is not ready for something like this. At least, in some countries it is not. And not everyone will be able to get all the accessories to play FFXI online (like PS2 keyboard to chat or modem to connect to the internet or other stuff like this). |

I dont think that would be a good idea.Online gameplay for any console title is not a very good idea.Online gaming should be left for the PC.
Thats why i have a new fav game console which is the GC.They r not all that keen about online gaming.

For teens like myself...getting the game and all the other junk for it would just cost too much!! I think it's a cool idea but just too soon....I say wait for more games to switch over and see if they succeed before taking a high risk like this, especially with Square's money issues and all.

Expanding is always a good marketing move for such a successful franchise... but I don't think it should be called FFXI. It's too much of a divergence from the normal flow of Final Fantasy games for that. It should be called Final Fantasy Online or something such as that.
I'm planning on saving up enough money to get the hard drive and modem for the PS2, as well as FFXI, but I'm not looking foward to spending so much money on these components.. I'll need to be getting an extra keyboard as well, USB, of course, so there's more dead presidents being tossed away in the name of the Playstation 2. Though I'm looking foward to see what Square is cooking up for it's online FF incarnation, I hope it doesn't become the standard. Online gaming is really meant for the PC, IMHO. (One hand on the mouse, the other typing quick messages.. to hold the dualshock you need both hands)

And I'm not sure I'll be able to play FFXI if it's online (and it is :p) because my connection, but not only mine, it's so slow! It takes me ages to download things from the Internet! I can't even think of playing a game like FFXI using my normal connection!
