No Graphics Upgrade for 360 FFXI

GamesIndustry.biz has the word that Final Fantasy XI, as it will appear on the Xbox 360 console, will be a straight port of the title with no proposed graphics upgrade. From the article: "The company also revealed that Final Fantasy XI was originally in development for the current generation Xbox console, but that an agreement couldn't be reached with Microsoft that would allow Square Enix to implement its custom PlayOnline online gaming service on Xbox Live. The restrictions on this have been eased significantly with the Xbox 360, the firm's spokespeople explained, and players will log into PlayOnline in order to play FFXI, not the Live service."

Well the windower thing will never be fixed they would rather a few people not play then lay the relm open to easily be botted. As it is now they constantly update the PC client to stop windower from working since its against the TOS.

honestly I continue to not see the point in it, maybe its because I grew up in a time where you couldnt have other programs running on a PC and play a graphics heavy game, but I see no point in leaving a chat program or my email when I am playing a game.
