Final Fantasy XI U.S. Website Opens

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.

Those screenshots look absolutely terrible.

It's 2003 - and here's a game in which the edges of polygons are blatantly visible. For god's sake - tesselate those meshes before they poke somebody's eye out!

Nobody who's a MMORPG fan is going to pick that up given the richness of games like Everquest 2, AC2, etc.

Console gamers looking for something new here are going to be sorely disapointed.
