READ!!!!!!!

And Trunk's I think it's the Hard Disk Drive, but is that the network adaptor?

Harry · Feb 1st, 2003, 09:10 AM

It's the Hard Disk Drive. Basically, until there aren't official words about the release of the peripheral in North America, the launch of Final Fantasy XI is impossible.

It was rumored that Square were considering making the HDD non compulsory for FFXI: after all, the actual installation of the game basically involves you copying the entire contents of the DVD onto the drive, which seems a little un-necessary. Yet, the solution that people were claiming was in development, using a Memory Card for the job, sounds impossible (due to the downloadable updates, which probably total more than 8mb). So I guess the HDD is necessary for the launch after-all. I think that the HDD in the US is likely, if after some delay, but Europe? yet another reason why I think PAL gamers will be forced onto the PC...

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 1st, 2003, 12:41 PM

I see now! It needs a hard disk drive? Shoot, it's upsetting that if Square over here wouldn't release it. MAybe it'll happen when they group toghther with Enix(I read this in an isuue of PSM that it's actually going to happen)

I'm not sure if this thing is on or off anymore... about a month ago, a major share holder said that he felt that the deal was bad for Square, and they had to adjust the shares Square employes would receive to appease this guy... and then, Key un-named employees from both companies said that they would leave their respective companies if the merger went ahead. So as far as I know, the whole deal is in limbo. Poo.

Incidently, I've never seen an Enix game in the UK. I've heard about the "Insanely popular Dragon Warrior series that is so insanely popular that you european scum will never play!!!!1" , but I've never seen one available. Weird.

The HDD is necessary, on my opinion - also because even if we don't consider expansions and add-ons, patches and updates are a necessity when it comes to online games. And when it comes to MMO games, it's almost impossible to contain the size of patches within a 8MB memory card.

Btw, the artist, I also see the release of the HDD in Europe very very difficult. Damn, everyone is still waiting for the Network Adapter (sorry AdaptOr) to come.

David · Feb 2nd, 2003, 03:33 AM

Geez. This is not going well for Square... They should of done something about this problem, before the merger. And the HDD problem should of been solved long ago, before FFXI comes out to us. They are so deorganized....

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 2nd, 2003, 10:25 PM

they'll probably hold back the release date then. Unless they're insanely unorganized or they have something up their sleaves.

David · Feb 4th, 2003, 04:49 PM

Great... If you go to www.ebgames.com, the game FFXI, is now delayed, and I mean for a long time... Why Nov. 4, 03!? Why!? I better get a game too enjoy myself awhile. Maybe EQ online adventures.

well at least they're being realistic now I suppose. Just consider yourself lucky that FFXI has got a release date at all in the US :/

Yeah, I suppose. But they could of confirm this sooner... It brought me down like a flap jack, when I saw the date change... You know, it's coming out in a month, and now it's almost next year it's gonna go out. Man! That bites.

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 5th, 2003, 06:38 PM

I guess we should be thankful it has a release date at all. It just had to be in November, I was hoping to be released soon after I get a job and the money for it. Anyone know the costs involved?

Yeah sure, im the right guy to know this.

The game is about
US $49.99 the game, the expansion card is US$9.99, and monthly fee is US$10.80, price could go up when out, so best to preorder it, if you can.

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 6th, 2003, 12:04 PM

That's a lot of money, if I were to ever get the game and play it I would have to have the money to pay for the monthly fee, damn.

David · Feb 6th, 2003, 03:41 PM

But then again Trunks, you will also need a HDD, and a mouse. There could be more?

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 6th, 2003, 05:01 PM

Sure there might be, I never let that skip over me. My statement would still hold true, though.

Maybe the slow date release is kinda good for you, because it well allow you to save up for the stuff Trunks. If you want to.

ssjtrunks13 · Feb 23rd, 2003, 09:22 PM

It would and I am happy that there's a chance I will have caught up in the games I want to play. There's a whole list, I'll put some of them up:

Dark Cloud 2
the Breath of Fire game for PS2
Zelda: Link to the Past/Four swords
.Hack: Infection
Devil May Cry 2

dan da man · Feb 24th, 2003, 07:56 AM
