First, you have to obtain a copy of FINAL FANTASY 11 and play it.

Second, you need to join the official #FFXI irc channel #FFXI on EFNet, and ask them "how do I summoned chocobot?" in a tautological fashion (repetition).

Third, you need to succeed in posting a #FFXI "first post" on slashdot.org, a popular "news for gooks" website

Finally, talk to one of the ops or any of the other members in the channel to sign up today!

If you are having trouble locating #FFXI, the official The Official Final Fantasy 11 Fan Club irc channel, you might be on a wrong irc network. The correct network is EFNet, and you can connect to irc.secsup

No kidding. I just picked up a (very sleek) Gameboy SP (in onyx black, of course) after seeing Advance Wars 2 and Final Fantasy Tactics on a friend's system.

These two are amazingly good for a portable system and would have even done well as Playstation 1 games.

Uh, no, I doubt it.

All the CDs I have bought in the last 8 years or so have been soundtrack CDs produced by DigiCube- DigiCube being a wholly established and financed subsidiary of Squaresoft.

According to the RIAA's member company list, neither Squaresoft (or Enix or EA) or DigiCube seem to be members. The same seems to be true for just about every distributor of game/anime music I can find, except for Victor, Pioneer, and possibly a few others I missed.

So, please, how exactly am I lining the RIAA's pockets when I buy from companies that aren't even members or owned by members?

You're suggesting that gamers have brand loyalty.

May I bring to your attention the fans of a game series that have switched consoles/platforms in order to continue enjoying their games? The game company is Squaresoft and the game is Final Fantasy

and play all sorts of better games

I swear, I have never seen a website for a company/product that has been so poorly maintained than square's I wonder if the new company will be able to find people that notonly reboot the servers, but also ADD CONTENT THAT IS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OLD!!!!

Three words: Final Fantasy Tactics

I am appalled. Is nothing sacred ?!

My current addictions are:

• Grand Theft Auto III for PS2
  Combining racing, shooting, dark humor and wonton viloence in one game. Plus, you get to be the bad guy for once :).
• Tekken Tag Tournament for PS2
  Practice at home to play Tekken 4 in arcades and provide maximum pain to my adversaries.
• Final Fantasy X for PS2
  Ooooo... pretty...
• Yahoo! Eucher
  No one else in my family plays, so I play with complete strangers.
• Unreal Tournament on PC
  Team Deathmatch and Domination with 3+ teams is good. Mods like Jailbreak and FragBall are also highly time-consuming.
• Diamond Mine
  Great little Shockwave game. I play this constantly at work :)

Wow, looking at the list, it's amazing that I'm bored all the time...

I call bluff. Every article I can find, including Square's own Einhander webpage says that they both developed it and published it. Got some proof?

I'm not quite sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can try Game Music.com for some video game soundtracks. They have your typical Final Fantasy series, and well pretty much any music from Squaresoft games. :)

They also seem to have non-RPG games soundtracks too.

Squaresoft is to go multiplatform, starting with Final Fantasy XI

However, their entire front page is a flash applet. Doh!

I am not a huge gamer- I get very involved in certain >role playing games but do not play them except at home.

I am very interested in the phone as a little computer, and the possibility of sharing data alongside voice conversation.

I am imagining someone driving around, using such a phone to find the personal ad of someone looking for a date,

traveling performers and sales people beaming a peddler's pitch to the computers of homes and businesses as they head into town,

live, coordinated field research between distant scientists, and group work between students in different countries.

All stuff we have now, in a much cruder form.

When intranets and the internet shift primary focus onto telephones and away from desk and laptop machines, there will be a subtle, slightly magical transformation. It won't be just more convenient- much of the information added to the net will be localized, much more intensely than it was before.

A person's computers are their individual "nodes" in the "ether" right now, but most computers are not tied to the home phone number or cell phone number. What happens if most consumer connections to the Internet go through a telephone?

Of course, the "fingerprint IP" or IPv6 technology is perfectly suited to a world in which everyone is connected, but everyone is potentially visible.

All the hardware in the world won't matter for the Squaresoft fans out there. Square has said it will only develop for the PS2 just like it did with the PS1. Personally, if I were to buy a console, I'd get a PS2 just because of that. Square makes very solid games.

Square and Sony Pictures are going to do quite well with Final Fantasy. The animation is top-notch. Much better than what I saw in A Bug's Life. I'd say Pixar will get a big run for their money once Final Fantasy is released.

Not that I don't like Pixar.

Arguably it's an inferior translation to the unofficial RPGe translation, but it shows that games that appear to be abandonned can still have value to their copyright owners. If everybody had emulated illegal copies of the game then they would most likely have not bought Final Fantasy Anthology, making Squaresoft think that people don't like older games. This just makes the problem of abandoned games worse, as Squaresoft no longer has any reason to release old games. If you like FF5 then buy FF Anthology, it's a very good game and they deserve money for it.
