Hell yeah ^_^ exactly what you say shu, I missed that same train as you did excatly the same way (especially because it came in the Netherlands 3 years after JP release lol, which was 1y after US release, and even then you had to buy US version)
Anyway I can't wait for this already :s2:

*Never mind this, mmosite is just noob. It says payment fees still to be announced on official but high chance it will be b2p it seems, which would be quite awesome*
Ok this slightly troubles me:
"In addition, it has been confirmed that FFXIV will be f2p, though the exact pricing has not been fixed yet."
Now I hope that you will AT LEAST have to buy the game itself like Guild Wars. Because otherwise it will be flooded with bots (and hackers) x.x and I really don't want such game to be flooded with them.

yes snow we will be sticking to it long term heh.
but i dont think it will be f2p.people just debating if FFXI online will be f2p once FFXVI online is out since SquareEnix saying they will keep FFXI online open as long it have players.
hehe buffie,imagine smt pve acts content but maps and quests increase 100 times the content and every once a while they add in huge patch...just the game pve team raid/grind/quests will keep u occupy for a few years.not sure if they will have pvp or not but i quite sure they will have some kind of duel system or arena.just present version of FFXI is already very rich in content.people dont complain of the lack of quests or stuff in game like smt.they usually complain its too grinding or quests take too long or raids will take forever etc etc lol.stuffs that we will enjoy doing together as a clan :)
and its a very team based game.in FFXI u can change ur class to another class if u dislike the present one without rerolling another sub account.u can also get access to all sub job system in the game.basically u wont have a lack of finding stuff to do inside lol.

Well FFXIV is not something you should compare to FFVII but rather to FFXI since that's the only FF online so far. FFXIV will be an up to date FFXI
Build on Crystal Eye engine, which means awesome up to date graphics. Also knowing the features of XI, the fact that they learned from their faults and sucesses with it, and that these guys been working on XIV for quite a while now it will be an mmo worth of playing for years ^_^

Square-Enix has just announced at their press conference that characters from FFXI cannot be transferred to FFXIV. Hopefully this can put all speculation of this ridiculous idea to rest.
Q: Will FFXI characters be portable to XIV in any way?
A: The game is completely different. There will not be any XI character transfers to XIV. However, the character design is familiar and XI players will be able to create a similar character.
And they also considering having FFXVI in xbox 360 at a later date as well.
so anyway it will be a clean game from the start.all will start at same starting point.just the way we like it hehe

If...If....If....FF is scheduled for early 2010, i won't be buying Aion.. If i buy a p2p game, it's going to be a game i'll be playing for a long time. Not just a few weeks. :)
So if it's just a few months for example like 3-4, buying aion would be a waste of cash. As FF would really be the game i would want to play.
So if it's early, 2010+ will be SC+FF for me. :)
