This whole game wasn't even up to date when it came out. It's a giant skill-free timesink. Every battle is determined before you fight the enemy, the classes don't even matter for a good 50% of the game because you can't do crap till 3 battle later and your skill thing is full. This game is just a giant japanese turd. This isn't even taking into account the graphics or the fact that all the areas are flat. EQ was years ahead of this thing and it came out years before.
if you have no idea what you're talking about don't post.
i couldn't even decipher your garbage without thinking about it for a full minute.
English too hard for ya? Lemme slow it down: The Game Sucks. Better?
Um...I think this game is okay, the UI is terrible and they should definantly update some of the mechanics...but to stop making expansions when it's still a well populated game would be retarded.....Making a new Final Fantasy MMO would be awesome, though!
Originally posted by layoneil i was thinking more along the lines of a true Front Mission MMO where it would be completely sci-fi and not a sci-fi fantasy hybrid.
Front mission online existed already, seriously, you guys need to read my other thread "Another FF online", i posted there what exactly is FF team working on currently as online game already. This thread is pretty just a repeat of that last threat.
And half of these people posting here are trolls from other MMO who trying to prove FFXI is obselete. Too bad, Everquest didn't even have half of the people of FFXI http://www.mmogchart.com/ say so. So is even everquest II who is almost dead.
Square enix know that even with a NEW FF online, it might not sell as great as the first of the series because a great example taught us that Everquest who trying to use everquest II to succeed have failed miserably.
That is why you will never see another FF online within 5 years. Even in 5 years, what graphic you expecting? i think current graphic is graphic rate is pretty at the limit, so it is smoother and run faster, is that your idea of better graphic ?
i know there's a Front Mission Online, but that's not an MMO. that's why i said "true" Front Mission "MMO".
they are developing another MMO, it's already been confirmed by SE developers, the question is whether or not it will get an FF label.
FFXI is near the PS2 limit, it doesn't have close to PS3 or 360 graphics. if you can't tell the difference between them there's nothing much to say.
FFXI has the subscriber base it has partly because it has a monopoly on console MMOs.

the stupidity in your post is too hard for me.
if it takes you 3 battles to fill your TP meter, it's not the game that sucks, it's you. a well equipped Samurai can get to 100% TP in 6 hits.
You all here have too much expectation from "better graphic", the problem here still its a MMO.
MMO games can't achieve superior graphic because data transfer is way too great. Let's look at dynasty warrior BB as an example. Then look at Besieged (FFXI) as another example. WoW on the other hand, let's not discuss, since the graphic was never great to begin with. Even lineage II or Rohan who had great graphic still lag as much during large scale battles.
dynasty warrior BB was set as broadband only because the data transfer is too much, its actually set as a PS3 game believe it or not.
Beside, your option of better graphic might only just make the game look alittle smoother, that wouldn't make player buy a complete new game. I never could see graphic differences in game myself, as i played ps3 ...to me its just look smoother in texture by abit. Let's take a look at FF13 before even think of a new FF online.
Yeah, because we all know graphics make a good game. Anyway, sarcasm aside, this game has over 500k subscribers. Just because it isn't WoW's 8mil doesn't mean that's not a lot of people. This game is still alive and kicking, why would they shoot themselves in the foot and just release another FF MMO? I'm still having fun with it after all this time. And I'm sorry, but after 5 hours and you quit, that can't let have any say on the game.

6 hits to make the battle anything other than boring tv? Yeah, that's a great game. Keep filling your response with insults rather than counterpoints though, that doesn't make you look ignorant at all.
Well I've decided to reinstall and tweak the registries once more. I'm sure FFXI is a great game and I wouldn't want to be left out on the experience. The FF series has always produced great storylines and gameplay. Well......'cept for VIII. In any case, having said all that, and like others who will agree, a new MMORPG would be great. Who wouldn't want to try something new? Even if it was a new Warcraft. Besides. As gamers, we're always looking to see what the next great thing is going to be. So lets just see and embrace whatever the future holds. I'm sure there will always be something new to make us lose sleep and plunge us all even further into the pool gamer geekdom that we already
swim around in. Thanx for the responses.

counterpoint #1:
6 hits to get to 100% TP is a direct counterpoint to your "you can't do crap till 3 battle later and your skill thing is full"
that's not an insult it's a statement of fact that you misrepresent the truth. "the skill thing" gets filled up every single fight for melees that don't suck (poorly equipped melees with low accuracy may not get to 100% TP in 1 fight).
counterpoint #2:
a lot of melees have numerous job abilities that can be used in conjunction with regular hits. Berserk, Meditate, Saigen, Hasso, Boost, Focus, Aggressor, Souleater, Last Resort, Jump, High Jump, Barrage, etc. you use those abilities in between hits as your "skill thing" fills up.
counterpoint #3:
this is an RPG based on an entire series of RPGs which is mainly, pick target, press a button on the menu that says "Attack". the "boring" gameplay elements of FFXI is not inconsistent with all of the offline FF games that came before it. if you're looking for "excitement" in the calibur of Gears of War, you're looking at the wrong place.
counterpoint #4:
mage jobs are a lot more interactive.
counterpoint #5:
i don't see any of your statements as anything but insults and put downs and one erroneous statement of how the "skill thing" takes too long to fill up. your posts are filled with nothing but unsupported opinions like "The Game Sucks."
I don't know what you're smoking, but FFXI looks WAY BETTER then most mmorpgs out even 2 years after it's release.
It blows WoW out of the water with it's 3 fingered gnomes and bullshit flat textures. Monsters in wow look like they were drawn by a 12 year old child.
You want graphics? Wait three months if the following is not good enough for you. (Bear in mind I have my graphics settings turned down a bunch, because the game's engine still gets lag when there's 100 avatars on the screen at once, like in dynamis, and even so, it looks great)
You will be able to set higher resolutions. Textures will look awsome. The game will get full use out of new cards.

SE is updating the graphic engine? Where did you get that info from? Got a link?
was revealed with wings of the goddess/community site summet interview by the guys over at ffxiclopedia and alla and pikko...
They're re-writing the game for DX9, because it's nessisary to enable windowed-mode.. Which they have been saying they were going to be doing a long time ago.
So, they've delayed it till late november it seems.
[quote]Back in March at the Premiere Site Summit, we were told that there would be a window mode released. When will this be released?
The reason this has been taking so long is that FFXI uses DirectX 8. To allow the windowed mode, we have to rewrite the program to be DirectX 9 based, which is what we're doing right now. And we hope to have all of that work finished by the time Wings of the Goddess is released. It will probably come out at the same time the expansion is released.[/quote]

I like how you continuously quoted "the skill thing." If I quit the game why would I remember what it's called?
You insulted by saying "j00 just sux if it takes so long lololool", so don't try and manipulate the conversation. You get a handful of lame uninspired abilities to navigate through the terrible UI to activate? Yeah, that's pretty cool. Definitely worth all the time it takes to do anything in this game and all the money it'll cost till you get there.
You're right, who wants excitement in a game? Especially the largest timesink MMO that's ever been.
I guess you could call spamming your next spell until it casts because there's no cooldown timer "interactive." Or you could call it terrible design. Every mage class in any game casts spells, and in this case "more interactive" means "slightly less involving than even the most basic class in any other MMO."
This is just a "pot calling the kettle black" thing. Look at your retorts. I posted my opinion to which you essentially responded "There's so much stupid cuz it's not my opinon! Your opinion is wrong!"
Just because you make a bunch of statements and label them counterpoints doesn't mean they are. See the fist thing about counterpoints, is that they have to respond to things that were said, not just things you pulled out your ass as an excuse as to why this game is awful. gg

that's a statement of fact. if you actually play the game, you'll see that every melee gets to 100% TP every fight if they have above 75% accuracy. people below 75% accuracy are poorly equipped players. and how am i manipulating the conversation when you're the one that quotes out of context? i've never used the words "j00" or "sux", you can't even have a conversation without twisting it into petty internet slang insults.

not going to argue that it's a timesink, all MMOs are, some worse than others. i've seen worse and i've heard of much worse.

i would if you managed to say more things of substance, every time you say anything that's remotely relevant it's supported by facts that are plain untrue.
and if you quit the game and hate it so much, why even bother posting here?

You said if I didn't get the TP bar full, I sucked. I just replaced it with the words that other elitists use to make their epeen huge. Since when should just getting your character to hit a giant thing be the challenge of a game? That's just shoddy design.
The thing about MMOs is that, sure while they're all timesinks, you should have fun. Or eventually have fun. FFXI is just a huge grind, so you can grind some more, to grind other things to get new weapons. To grind with. Nothing in the game is challenging or interesting.
Really? They have cooldown timers? I guess mine just didn't come with the game. No shit every spell has a cooldown, but FFXI is so terribly designed that they didn't even put a timer in the UI. As if the UI wasn't awful enough, they have to strip it of anything useful?
I'm not fanboyish enough for you is what you're saying? I disagree with you so it's wrong? lol
This showed up on the hot topics, so I posted in it. Then you made an ass out of yourself and that's just too much fun to pass up.
All you have to do is enable it in the FFXI config. The game needs to be completely shut down, including POL. Just enable and customize it through there and there ya go.

Really? They have cooldown timers? I guess mine just didn't come with the game. No shit every spell has a cooldown, but FFXI is so terribly designed that they didn't even put a timer in the UI. As if the UI wasn't awful enough, they have to strip it of anything useful?
I'm not fanboyish enough for you is what you're saying? I disagree with you so it's wrong? lol
This showed up on the hot topics, so I posted in it. Then you made an ass out of yourself and that's just too much fun to pass up.
then thatz enough for me. But another FF Online would stil be a nice move for SE. Especially if it was
more directed towards a sci-fi theme. And it wouldn't even have to be a FF title. Since the late 80's, SE has
constantly supplied me with great RPGs that took up alot of my life. rofl. Not that it was a good thing. But yeah.
And a score done by Nobuo Uematsu would be good too.

Well I reinstalled FFXI and tweaked the registries right this time. It looks great! Not as great as WoW,
but pretty close. Although FFXI is definetly more colorful. I was wondering if there is a way to use a gamepad.
Anywayz. Thanx for all the responses with this thread. It is now officially closed. But feel free to add if you want.

All you have to do is enable it in the FFXI config. The game needs to be completely shut down, including POL. Just enable and customize it through there and there ya go.
To be the best, you must help each other become the best.
