Square isn't doing a great job of supporting the gamecube. FFXI can't even come out for the game cube due to the fact that there is no intent on having an ethernet adapter, or hard drive for the cube. Also I don't think that EQ can compete at all with FF. I played EQ for quite a while, and it's old news, the whole system is to slow. It takes forever to do anything in that game. Granted quite a few people still play it, more now that the graphics have been updated. However, I don't think you can really get more people to play it. and if you were going to play it would you really want to play it on a console rather than on your computer. I know my computer is faster, and much better than my PS2. Plus EQ sucks.
I think that the only reason that they are releasing it at all is so that when there ethernet adapter/hard drive comes out they want to have a game that will utalize it. No one would buy it if they didn't

Granted it isn't much compared to 80, but I have had 3 friends, that have tried that board due to it's good recomendation, and all three of those boards were horrid. In fact, I have not seen a single one that has worked properly. The one that lasted the longest didn't even make it through one semester of school, and took two processors with it.
