Anyway, I was hoping some people here would care, but it seems to me like there are just people dwelling for hours on end about a game they hate. I'm sure you also have something better to do.

I't's not as bad as Ramadin says. It's not (anywhere near) as good as the fanboys say. There are better MMORPGs on the market. End of story.
People are entitled to their personal opinions... but only if it does not stomp outright on others.
Come on folks, some of you know better. If you wish to express your opinion back it up. Just saying "it sux!" holds no water. If 500,000+ players love FFXI then there you go.

You're half right. Ramadin DID take a thread unrelated to the quality of the game to go off on how much he hates it. That being said, you did whine about "bullshit posts" and you've made it more than clear that the only opinions worth stating are ones that agree with you. If you want your thread free of anti-FFXI sentiment, keep your comments about other posters to yourself.
Also, I think the 500k or whatever number subscribers theory is invalid because popularity is not always (in fact, not often) and indication of quality. In fact, Lineage 1 is the most popular MMORPG on Earth. Is it the best? You tell me.
I think FFXI's popularity is, in large part, a reflection of the FF series as a whole's popularity. Also worth considering, outside of FF fanboy mania, are: It's HUGE user base in Japan and the rest of Asia, the HUGE number of users on PS2, and the fact that many anime fans relate to its artistic direction. It's DEFINITELY not the worst MMORPG on the market, but you will NEVER convince me that it's the best. I spent my 50 bucks to play it and was sorely disappointed. Maybe you guys ought to try to bring something to the table rather than just whining about the detractors. Grow up, Otaku.
If you wish to debate the qualities of this game, or any other, please do them in separate threads. This was originally a thread about updates, but it seems to have turned around.
Thread locked.
