I mean Square Enix gave you a NUMBER game. Now you see why Square has abandon 360. its there highest selling game of all their games released on it (Sales:110,000). Thats jus of you lemmINGS D:! Its a AA MMORPG. pretty good too! Well Balanced and you can play with the japanese!!! You can learn something about err... How to appreciate RPGS!!! ^^,like Eternal Sonata that sales have been bad but was a truly epic game in its own sense.

Because FF 11 is a horrible game?

It doesn't matter who made it or what the game is called, the game stinks.

IMO of course.

Now the JRPG Lemming fans wonder why they're not getting FFXIII and FFXIII versus. Enjoy your Flop Dragon and soon to be another flop, Lost Odyssey.

FF11 is a terrible game with not too much of a following. Phantasy Star is pretty bad too, not too many good Japanese MMO's.

I actually have a friends on my friend list that play this game a lot but why would you want something designed for a last gen system?

Maybe cause its boring? Its community sucks and its a bigger grind fest then a korean mmorpg ;)

The game would probably be popular if it was fun but its not and the fact you have to group all the time to level past 15 is a joke.

It is so un-userfriendly. I played the beta and it takes forever to do anything and takes even longer to figure out how. Also, the maps were so linear. Like in a city there is only one way to get to a certain area so you have to take a certain road that leads through five other areas just to find the entrance when you are right next to it.

The game is like what 7-8 years old., no one would play a game that old also everyone is pretty much doing high level stuff at this point. IMO It was an awesome mmo when it first came out because it had a story instead of just a bunch of quests that had no real meaning.

Yeah right this game eats more of your life away than WoW does, it takes about a year to max out one class, another year to get the best equipment, 3 days to find a good group and a week to earn enough gil for one item.

It may not be your watered dumbed down WoW MMORPG, but it's far better than a terrible game.

WoW is the best MMORPG out to date.  dont try and say that this game is better than it just because it says "Final Fantasy" on the packaging.  Theres basically no one playing it, its impossible to communicate (one of the main points of an MMO) and its just not fun in general.

Eh..? I was speaking for the JRPG lemmings fans who are stuck with their 360, and can't buy a PS3. Also..not playing Nerd-RPGs or JRPGS what millions of other gamers like to call, and posting on a video game forum does not make you less of a nerd fyi.

toxicmog

Both games are Ever Quest clones ... WoW jsut refined everyquest, in some ways its challengless in comparison ... its like the Halo of the MMO genre.

FF11 is one of the most original MMO, has a FF quality story and quests. you either love it, or hate it.
yaa, its slow paced, IF you dont make friends and join good guilds. thats the whole theme of the game, unlike others, you need people to accomplish big goals in the game.

The fact that its around 6+ years old, and still has a strong and constant 500,000+ player base shows how good the game is. and it just received an expansion.

I'm playing FFXI as we speak (on PC) but even then I don't recommend it for 360 owners. FFXI is for hardcore players only, its not for the light hearted.

If square had given us the brand new Final Fantasy 12 instead of the old crappy 11, Mabey things would have been different.

Stupid Square. Why not have given FF8 instead while we were at it, or 4.

Why wouldI play a game where they charge me per character?

And where a squirell can kill a high leveled character because he's solo.

FFXI is a disgrace to the FF franchise. But thats normal, every mmorpg is a disgrace to it's franchise. Look at WOW. Such a great Warcraft franchise turned into mmorpg... yay!

Because the game is terrible. I've played my share of MMOs, enjoy the genre more than any other (sadly), and I do like RPGs and the FF titles. Yet I find the game unbearable, boring, and don't see how it's going to change now that it's on the 360 (I got it for the PS2 -- useless HDD that cost $100 ftw..).

That was a lame attempt for Square to support 360 imo. I'm looking foward to The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery. Hopefully those games turn out to be worthwhile.
