To all the people who claims Final Fantasy XI is a "spin off and not a final fantasy"
I want you to go say that to the 1 million people around the world who plays it everyday.

Let me tell you something. The game has a very deep storyline together with branching quest and stories which is much more deep than some other Final Fantasy game, or mmo you might have played imo. But you wont know that so its pointless to argue.

It is a very successful game that has players playing since 2003. Face reality, it is a Final Fantasy game, and stop denying yourself. You make yourself look pathetic.

If you are one of those who take offense to this post personally, it shows who is a Final Fantasy fan and whose not.


Well, I can't speak for others, but when I say spinoff, I'm not saying it isn't a Final Fantasy, as it clearly is and making an argument that it isn't would be completely pointless, but it should not, and will never be in my eyes, a part of the main series and was simply a marketing ploy by Square to get more people playing.  I'm not a big fan of MMOs, and while I do like the series, I don't have the time to play all of Square's little spinoffs.

Besides, even if I was into MMOs, I would be playing World of Warcraft, as I love the Warcraft universe and I can't imagine that FFXI could ever compare to the amount of depth and detail Warcraft has accumulated over the years.
