FFXI looks great, but I think I\'ll hold off until I see some reviews (I\'m not going to let another SWG happen to me...). Although the world pass system is annoying... If you don\'t know, you\'re assigned to a random server on character creation, and to select a server you must get someone to buy you a world pass (a very expensive item, based on the number of players on the server) that allows you to play on their server, worse yet, world passes expire after 1 week. Fortunatly, in the US version they allow 5 people to join on 1 world pass; so I\'m thinking of starting a world pass group of 5 people. These group members will, of course, have to pay back whoever buys the world pass for us.
Anyone considering getting FFXI in the next month or two want to join this group?
Oh, and Moogie, FFXII will be completely offline, or so they say. I don\'t know why they chose to call this FFXI instead of Final Fantasy Online, or FFV Online...
