Sorry, but you are very, very wrong.

Final fantasy by its very nature as a series is constanly changing. With new styles, gameplay types, charactors, worlds, storylines, battle systems, etc.  Take for example FFVII and FFXII, two totally different RPGs and the only thing that links them together is the following:

• Spell names,
• Gil
• A man called Cid
• Men called Biggs and Wedge
• Chocobo

And thats it, thats all that links most final fantasy game together.  The very term Final Fantasy fan is ridiculas becuase of the huge difference in styles from game to game.  Most people that have followed the series will have games in the series that they dislike (for many FFVII fans, FFVIII was awful.  Many FFIV fans think FFIX was then next best FF game).

FFXI followed the Final Fantasy nature by changing its style to one thats different to the FF games before it.  That is why its a FF game.  People that think FFXI should not of been in the main line of FF games just don't understand the nature of FF games at all.

Looks good, the graphics remind me of Everquest 2.

I will probably pick this up for the 360, maybe PC but WoW gets my MMO love.

isint FF XIV PS3 exclusive?
