Yeah there will be a monthly fee...like $10 a month. |
actually, its $12. the game itself will be quite a bit ($99) because it comes with a 40 gig hd. |

online games such as Counter Strike are free because you have to host the server yourself.. in FFXI the servers are provided for you,so is customer support,live events,updates and they need funding to make expansions dont they? |
i didnt contradict myself at all ;)
i personally understand why monthly fees are a necessity. im simply saying that i dont see why players continously shell money out of their pocket for a game they already paid a large amount for, and in addition, (basically) cant beat. (everquest, anyone?) its a personal choice, i suppose. i would rather spend the same amount of money to purchase a game that i can play, beat, and then replay if i want to.

ive played online rpgs. i personally play rpgs because i enjoy the story, i enjoy playing them. not because i can get on a server and watch other people running around, casting magic spells, and "progressing" through the game (which only means building up your character and getting stuff, since most MMORPGs have no ending).
ive watched my sister be addicted to everquest for years now. all she does when she gets home is plays that game. for what? thats all i want to know. she doesnt do it for the online community, cause she doesnt give a about that.

again, a matter of personal preference.
if i want the online experience, ill go to forums, or sit and talk in the hub i download anime in, in Direct Connect. games and people to me, are seperate. i already pay a ridiculous amount of money per month for my internet connection.. why should i have to pay more just to play a game? (again, i know WHY the money is needed, im just saying i think the concept of paying extra is silly). because of that, id rather get online when i need to, and play my games when i need to.
but really, thats all personal preference. my main issue with FF11 is that they are labeling it the next in the series, giving no offline option, thus making everyone else who doesnt like online games sit around a few more years waiting for the next one. lame. |

haha your sister plays that game 24/7 ? damn i used to do that a couple years ago. but now that im i drive i have lots of things to do, before i was just bored.
and now i get bored sometimes even when i do drive. like when its raining and im just in the mood to sit and play a game
thats why cant wait till FF11 comes out
and as for the price
who cares buy it for PC. its better that way anyway. it sucks for ps2. imagine rollin around on your bed tryin to type with a keyboard
just too confusing
mmorpg = pc |

But hey, it gives them that much more time to develop the game. Which in turn should be one hell of a game! Yes it is annoying, but there is FFX-2 to play (If you were a fan of FFX that is...) :nervous: |

| ffxi would be so much better if it wasnt gonna have live action battles. my favorite part of final fantasy is the turn style battles which pretty much no games use anymore. other than that it should be a good game but i dont think i will be able to get past the battle system |

just got this game. seems really good so far.. towns could use some work, but the rest is fine.
amazingly I havnt experienced any lag. And even though Im on a highly populated server (Sylph) there are really not alot of people everywhere. game runs perfectly smooth at high resolution on my siluro geforce4. |

| since i was unpatient i bought the japanese version for the pc sometime last winter and played with some friends. i had to stop because the japanese made it too hard to follow. i'll tell you one thing, i don't really think it's worth 12 dollars a month. i couldnt really see how it'd be fun either if i was playing with people i didn't know. i don't know, i don't think i'll be buying the american version, it's a waste of time and money. :\ |
