  • Bah, I signed up the day the beta signups went active but then added my PS3 FFXIII code later. I bet that took me out of the running entirely for a PC beta invite. I'm saddened!
  • You should worry more about doing something evil than breaking some stupid rule. Don't worry about that. I hope jaywalking doesn't keep you up at night too.
  • You should go read the updated website. It looks like they've spent the last 5 years on an incredible back story. I still say we should reserve judgment for the actual game. I have a feeling this one's got the potential to change the way MMORPGs are…
  • I finally got to read the whole site and I have one thing to say: I'm sold.    
  • I'm pretty sure the Japanese beta test came out for the PC. If I'm not mistaken, the hard drive didn't come out for the ps2 until the actual FFXI release. Beta tests through the PSN have been done before and are easy to do. They may ask for more …
  • So what you're saying is that you would have been fine with it if they didn't change the names? ludicrous!
  • How can you say "I was hoping for a revamped FFXI" in the same paragraph that you complain about SE using similar character designs? Regardless, I would reserve judgment until you actually see the game. After all, you wouldn't judge people just lo…
  • I really enjoyed playing this game (chinese version) for a while. It's essentially like WoW and every other game in the sense that you run around and collect stuff or kill X number of monsters for quests. What I like is that the quests are far mo…
  • Yeah, like I said, it's definitely not apples to apples comparison between PS3 and PC.  That reminds me, I was laughing at some xbox vs ps3 comparisons the other day as they brought up memory bandwidth. The "total system bandwidth" on the 360 (i …

  • What khameleon says is mostly right. It should take roughly a 7900 series nVidia card or 1900 series ATI to run the game well. Depending on which technology is used to render the game, those might not be sufficient.   As for the PS3 reference fo…

  • I'm almost 100% sure that they announced it was based on the same engine as Final Fantasy XIII. I think it's called Crystal Tools but it used to be known as the White Engine.
  • FFXI doesn't count because it's a worldwide game right? It's got a little over 2 million subscribers.   Anyways. I've been playing the CN versiona from the eastern US and I can't say I've run in to too many lag problems. Unlike the AUS guy, I re…
  • I don't remember who posted a complaint about it earlier, but I agree with the gameguard complaints. I'm sure it does things, but it just doesn't seem enough. With Aion gaining ground, the hacking prevention will probably improve. I say this because…
  • I don't know about all the theories on where the subscribers are coming from. There seems to be a lot of optimism and skepticism about that (both mostly unfounded). What I can say though: I've been playing the game on chinese servers (with the e…
  • I know you all with think I'm nuts for this, but I'm going to toss FFXI into the mix.   Yes, it's really old, it's DX8.1 and its on the PS2. How good can it be right?   Technically, it's terribly by today's standards. Artistically, it's ab…
