Final Fantasy XI For PC Explored
Thanks to Adrenaline Vault for their hands-on preview of Final Fantasy XI for PC. This cross-platform MMORPG is due for PC this October in the U.S., several months ahead of the PlayStation 2 version, and features many features to excite the average Final Fantasy fan: "Each player is granted their own Mog house complete with a yellow cherubic Moogle servant... To travel great distances quickly... [a] favorite method of transportation is at near hand: the many splendored horse/chicken hybrid, the Chocobo." Another hands-on preview at Frictionless Insight brings up the interesting problem of control methods that work for both PS2 and PC: "What won't be familiar to PC gamers is the user interface. The system of menus... ties in with the need to be accessible to gamepad-type controllers. With a moderately button-intensive gamepad in hand, PC gamers will zip through menus with a flutter of finger twitching and d-pad action."

Since it's a PC version, it could theoratically run under Wine on a modified XBOX right? So now it would probably be possible to play this game on the Xbox before the people with PS2s
When the game designers absolutely can't keep pace with your imagination, accept no substitutes. Though now that you mention it, Slime: The RPG sounds kinda fun. Born under a rock, eat defenseless peasents but nab too many in one area and adventurers start hunting you. Find a weak adventurer or two and start leveling. Until then, I suppose we must accept the Dungeon Keeper series....
