why am I having a hard time getting excited for this? Cant see myself playing it when the new star wars mmo is around the corner.

If it has a free trail I might check it out, but with Cataclysm coming out probably at the same time... its not looking good for Final Fantasy in my eyes.

I will try a Trial of it out for sure.

But with The Old Republic, The Secret World, and Torchlight mmo games comming out, I'm not sure I want to invest in Final Fantasy 14.

Though I wouldn't mind a trial of it or something of the sort.

My PC runs Crysis on high @1680 x1050 w/ no AA

According to the benchmark - FF XIV will be unplayable. Hmm - Should I take $500 to upgrade my processor (dual core @2,8GHz) and GPU (9800GT), so I can play one game (FFXIV)?

'

Or should I take that money and buy 15 other games that will run fine on my PC?

Hmm - that's a tough one.

I like Bioware, I really do, but I can't see this mmo going anywhere. "200 hours worth of content, if you play multiple classes" ? I got that out of a month of WoW, and was nowhere near finished. I'm not saying it looks like crap, but I could see myself REALLY quickly doing everything there is to do with it, and then just being... done.

FF XIV on the other hand has some serious potential. If they fix the FF XI control scheme. The developers have already confirmed that they will eventually remove the level cap for job skills so... you basically have no limit to how powerful you can become. That's awesome. Thats like Ultima Online on crack.

There is ABOSLUTELY no way that FF XIV will be more of a hardware hog than Crysis. Period.
