"Final Fantasy Forum"

The game forums are closing, so i am moving the popular FF forum here. No spamming, just 100% FF. Let's start with a question.... which of the FFs is the best?

I'm not gonna bother with 11.

thats good then ill add that to my wish list.

usual FF format i believe

will final fantasy 12 be an online game or a normal single player game???

I didn't say that it would definitely be realeased in Europe, I said if it's going to be released it'll be released before 2005.

Then i can sleep well again...

After 11, and maybe 12, Square will realise we prefer the single player adventure games. PSO died after about a year cos there was nothing to do but talk.

Which makes me think that European Ps2 owners may not see the game maybe PS3 because if you read the final fantasy history you'll find that some games were never released even in the US.

From the way PS2 mags have been putting it, it looks like FFXI is a complicated game because its fully online and it looks like Sony arent really sure about broadband in European countries, so it may not only be square's fault for not converting the game but also Sony.

well i think we as the european public are far to neglected by japan, we always get every thing last, were messed around by release dates while the rest of the world has the games. i just terible really.

It could happen as japanese developers like to assume a lot about Europe, a good example was the online feature in Capcom vs. Snk 2 not being in the European version and maybe even the US version.

And this is Final Fantasy XI we are talking about, the game is fully online, Square may assume that many of us arent getting the modem so they wouldn't bother.

Also developers dont seem very confident about online features on the PS2, I've seen so many DC games that have online features, since its launch there were games with online features and look at the PS2 only 1 game in Europe thats Tony Hawks 3, Sony should have provided one at launch like the way dreamcast had one.

Since they dont seem confident I dont think FF11 will see a european release soon and it may flop even if its converted due to the fact that people have top pay extra, I'd rather add more money on what Im going to spend on a HDD and modem package and get the xbox instead.

No wonder scei always keep on saying PS3 wil be the thing because they know their mistake, HDD + modem as add-on = online games mostly in Japan but the rest of the world there aren many.

Anyway I'm getting an xbox soon so I aint getting the HDD and modem and no ff11 for me but lots of online games on xbox plus there will be very many people I'll be playing with online unlike tony hawks 3 on PS2 where it must be empty most of the time.

My conclusion is that I'm not confident of PS2 going online in Europe and really feel p**s*d of when I read a PS2 mag saying that PS3 is the real deal, I like my PS2 the way it is but it looks like I'll need an xbox to enjoy online gaming at its best on a console.
