FF XI Goes Live in Japan

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wish-i-spoke-japanese dept.

Castolari writes "Gameforms reports about the Japanese launch of FF XI, Square's online venture with the series. Apparently, there's some serious technical problems with the server load as well." They also have some Screenshots. I'm still hoping that someone will get the MMORPG right in the not so distant future.

    You are not kidding.

    I had to take the bus to work for a month after playing GTA3...

    A. I'd lost the habit of driving on the left side of the road (I live in U.K/Ireland).
    B. I had the temptation to mount the pavement to get past slow moving traffic.
    C. I could not longer drive 1st person, I'd have to sit on the roof and control the car via a complicated set of cables through the sunroof.

    I'm hoping the next version of GTA will have some neato network gaming ability. Imagine being able to hook up with an online cartel, or the thrill of starting a riot with other players or foiling their missions with a well-aimed grenade...

    This the bit I am dreading about a multiplayer GTA. Then when you stop for a hooker, it'll really be some huge sailer with a beard playing as a hooker and I'll feel really dirty afterwards...
