The problem FFXI has is that it is not a very friendly to newcomers game, it really does become an amazingly fun mmo at higher levels but to get there it could be very tedious and confusing. Doing the even most simple tasks such as forming an FFXI …

Let's look at WoW,

I really don't see how for jumping the negative outweighs the positive. Having a few people who jump around a lot doesn't bother me that much plus not many people jump around in combat because it interrupts their spells/moves and messes up their tar…
I think not many people did ballista because it was not conveniently available, it followed a very odd schedule that was difficult to follow and not everybody could attend the given times.. If they made Ballista accessible all day through either may…
Directed to previous posts saying that just play another game if you don't want time sink, have you ever thought that some people enjoy the FF theme, deep storylines, interesting class system, and other features of the game but do not wish to spend…
I'd also like to add like the previous poster said its odd that they aren't giving sub numbers. It wouldn't make sense for them to release a new MMO in 1-2 years if it was having such a large increase.
Does that include trials? because recently I returned to FFXI on my server Asura and it seems like there are much less players then there were when I originally playing, maybe the increasing number is because its including trial accounts?
I don't think its because they hate either FF and MMOs in general. For example SWTOR (which they played the demo at E3) was their favorite online game and its an MMO, and i'm pretty sure Gametrailers doesn't hate FF because they have made a 13 diffe…
Isn't it kind of pointless to start playing FFXI knowing that FFXIV is suppose to be release in 2010. FFXI takes forever progress so by the time you begin to get near/hit endgame and start to really enjoy the game in FFXI, FFXIV will be near releas…

I know this might be hard to understand if your the type that wants to be entertained, but I dont want quests…

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE stop comparing WOW with AOC.
WOW is a cartoon, while AOC is a 10 oscar awarded movie. Well .. sort of
The WOW devs made a great job making that game feel seemless. Zoning is transparent. T…

I'll shoot the next idiot that calls WOW seamless.
I do game dev work. It's not seamless. It's a classic design trick called tunnel zoneing. You actually zone to the next area half way before hitting the zone wall. It …

Thanks for your review.
The message I seem to be getting from most of the reviews (lately) is that this is a MMO that plays like a single player game?
Actually recent singleplayer rpgs have more freedom and immersion…
My guess is that it will have a community similar to WoW's community, because I have heard alot of WoW players saying they are looking forward to the release of this game.
