Why?

Well, assuming you want to play this game, and you already have PS2, you HAVE to buy the following:

GAME
MODEM
HARD DRIVE
KEYBOARD
SUBSCRIPTION to PlayOnline.

How many people outside Japan perhaps will bother. I was slightly annoyed I have to buy an expansion pack for some 64 game, but this game's requirments are obscene!

Why will you need a keyboard? Or a hard drive?

You didn't need a key board for Phantasy Star Online since there was already an on-screen keyboard built in. Surely, they will do something similar with FF10?

you only need the modem, the price of subscription is still a question mark however they are offering several months free.

I'm talking about in Japan... whether you need a subscription outside Japan is still in doubt.

However, you DO need all the other things- Modem, HDD, Keyboard and the game. Check out the previews in EDGE and elsewhere.

I would have to say that Edge are quite big Ninty fans, but they rate Ninty games terrible too.

Idiots!

this is pure rubbish... only people who can't open their eyes and realise that the PS2 ISN'T actually perfect, and that there were far more problems with it then there should have been say this.

like what? They usually give ninty games great marks, like 8 out of 10... if you think that's bad, you just don't understand their scoring system...

10/10 is PERFECTION in todays gaming. Only 4 games have got this

9/10 is MUST HAVE worthy of being a classic.
...

5/10 is AVERAGE- not bad, not great.
