I cant imagine it not getting a release over here? Surely? All the other games have been massive hits, there is certainly no reason why it shouldnt get a release in Europe at all.

If this is the case, i would love to hear the thinking of the brains behind this idea. It beggers belief.

Similar position here really. I cant afford to get my PS2 online at the moment, so this isnt too much of a problem for me. It annoyed me more than anything because of the fact its Europe loosing out again.

Apparently.
Ask FM. He's the online know-all tell-all blokey.

As for FFXI, I'm not too fussed. FF shouldn't be online for one thing, that's not what it's like. And I won't gaming online for about another 5 years yet.

Probably the same type of genius thinking that stopped Suikoden 3 getting a PAL release.

Ah well i'm sure i'll live, there's a certain game by the name of Everquest coming shortly :-D

I think MMORPG's are fading a bit now, although several are been released now they don't sell as many units as single player games.

If they were to release it then they would get some sort of return I'm guessing. Might be small change but it would be something. Doubtfull that they will but I can dream can't I? we'll see what the situation is in about 8-9 months. By then there should be more details concering an Europe release.

Keep dreaming, they would never do a UK only release, UK buyers probably wouldn't even make up one percent of the worldwide FF11 sales so Sony Japan couldn't really give a toss about the UK.

Did you know that Kawasaki only make motorcycles as a "hobby" because one of the chairman likes them, the sales of motorbikes makes up 0.4 of 1 percent of their annual sales.
(their main business is making the machinery that dug the Channel Tunnel and similar by the way)

Economics lesson over now.
