My friend has put 4 years of his life into that game. He is a GM. I tell him every day to do something better with his life but he doesn't listen. The ps2 version works on the older ps3's but that is not possible with the newer ones, so they are porting it over.

that link doesn't work hah.  some anti leech thing on it

SE makes sick...I wish the industry would stop caring about them...

Yeah, but sadly they make excellent games

I don't get what you said?

I think it's SE makes "me" sick.

I didn't even realize the game was really still alive.

The last time I played it a few years ago it was dying and doing everything it could to stay afloat but people were leaving in large waves.

Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite MMO's ever but I just thought it was through.

If I could get my old character back I would consider starting again but I'm not going through all that again, the leveling of all the different jobs, all the crafts (I had many 60+ crafts on several characters and two 90+), and getting the crapload of money and HQ equipment I had.

Plus with the game being dominated by Japanese players, it may be daunting and twice as hard for an English speaking player. I think SE decided it after seeing a positive response to FXIII demo sales. maybe they feel PS3 can sell good software on the Final Fantasy brand in Japan easily so why not launch something which is easy to port and get them a constant stream of revenue while they complete FFXIII and FFVXIIIÂ

But FFXI has been out on the PS2, Xbox 360, and PC for years now. I'm sure that their hardcore audience stopped edit: didn't stop playing the game on their PS2's, and I think if there were any Japanese gamers who wanted to play, they've had so many years and options to do so. I don't think that they'll captre the American audience either, due to the dominance of WoW and the fact that this game was already released and American players who were interested tried the game years ago anyway.

I could have swore I read that the game works on no PS3's.

Only thing true in this post is wow being popular everything esle is wrong. Japs are on a different timezone then us and its hard to find a jap player really. and they have a translater also. I know I sound uptight but please don't use Jap. Although SE provided basic commands you can't fubction as a team and truly interact with people (the true fun of a MMO) with only short phrases. I also used to play at night. As I said I never presented my personal experience a the experience everyone will have. So please calm down and not say I'm wrong. I'm sure I know what I experienced better than you.

I've never had a problem communicating with Japanese players, the auto-translate feature is quite excellent.  The people that usually have trouble finding parties, especially Japanese ones, are usually jackasses or DRG's and have a problem finding parties anyways.
