Final Fantasy X

[Sylune]

Less than one week until FFX is released in the US (Dec. 18th)!

Is anyone else looking forward to this? :grin:

Is it true that XI will be for online play?

Not doubt.
My bro played the demo and he was blown away by the gameplay and the graphics

Word on the street is that Square Soft lost big money when they produced and released "Final Fantasy: The Movie" and SONY is the major creditor. That is why Square is pumping out Final Fansty like there is no tomorrow. I sure hope that the quality does not go down as the result.

btw, which one is your fav? mine is 6 and 7

Yes, Final Fantasy XI will be online.

The opening in the demo is stunning, beautiful FMV. I just hope blitzball is as fun to play as it is to watch. :smile:

My favs are 6 and 8.

If you're interested in Final Fantasy XI, see this article (http://www.thegia.com/psx2/ff11/ff11.html). (Probably won't be able to read it at work, Websense blocks it.)

One quote from The GIA:
Final Fantasy XI is currently officially confirmed just for the PlayStation 2 and PC, but Square officials have been dropping hints that they'd like to see it on as many platforms as possible. While they haven't named either the Xbox or GameCube specifically, both of these systems' online capabilities could make them possible targets for the game.

I'm not too excited about XI. It looks like its just gonna be another Everquest clone, with Final Fantasy characters and monsters. I'm more looking forward to X-2 which will be coming out first, if I'm not mistaken.

I'm also looking forward to Final Fantasy X-2. Although, I am disappointed that North American gamers won't get the international extras (http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2003/091103b.html), again.

In a somewhat predictable move, Square-Enix announced that it will release an international version of Final Fantasy X-2. The company has promised that the game will be packed with new content to expand the adventures of Yuna and company in Spira.

Specifically, Final Fantasy X-2 International will have new missions for players to complete, and a new bonus dungeon, the Tower of Yadonoki, to explore. In addition, players can experiment with new classes and costumes, like the Psychiccer class, and an extra ending can be accessed by playing the game with a finished save file from the original FFX-2.

The release of FFX-2 International will nearly coincide with the arrival of FFX-2 in North America. However, the North American version of FFX-2 will not include the new content because of the time constraints of preparing the game for its release outside of Japan.

North Americans, however, are not at a total loss. While a vast majority of them missed out on "Eternal Calm," the bonus video that linked Final Fantasy X and FFX-2, North American fans are about to be given a chance to own the video themselves. The December issue of Official PlayStation Magazine will feature an English version of "Eternal Calm" on its monthly demo DVD. The issue will arrive on newsstands in early November in time to prepare North America for the release of FFX-2 this winter.
