Final Fantasy XI U.S. Website Opens

Posted by simoniker on Thursday June 12, 2003 @03:03PM from the live-rpg-cam-action dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing out the official U.S. Final Fantasy XI website is now open for business, offering screenshots, details, and even a live 'webcam' of the Vana'Diel game world. There's also more details and screenshots on the Tetra Master card battle mini-game, which first appeared in Final Fantasy IX but is playable online in FFXI. This MMORPG title is currently in early US beta testing, and should be available for both Playstation 2 and PC in early 2004. For those curious, you can see some brief impressions of the FFXI Japanese release from GameFAQs reviewers.

Can GameFAQs reviews really count for much? I find it hard to take them seriously when I see things like this:
Overall, as a graphic aficionado who NEVER plays games with poor graphics (this is why I NEVER play american games), i have to say graphically, FFXI matched my expectations and even surpassed it in some areas. --A report from Vana Diel
Maybe they're good for a 'man on the street' perspective, but I'd hardly let these sway me about any game.
