Final Fantasy XI Online (11) Original Trailer (BETA?)

http://www.unseen64.net

"After the English localization of Chrono Cross, development began on Final Fantasy XI by the same production team.[27] The game was the first developed under Square's new philosophy to develop for "all platforms and media".[28] Hiromichi Tanaka, the producer of the game, has stated that Final Fantasy XI is heavily influenced by Final Fantasy III, especially in its battle and magic systems.[29] The game was developed and ran on the Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti GPU, which the President of Square described as the most powerful graphics processor available at the time.[30] The game cost 2--3 billion yen (~$17--25 million) to create along with the PlayOnline Network Service and was assumed to become profitable over a five year timespan.[31] By creating a unified game world instead of different ones balkanized by language, development costs were cut 66%.[32][33] Since recurring monsters of the series are known by different names in the Japanese and English versions of the other installments, it was decided for Final Fantasy XI to use both Japanese and English names for different varieties of the same monsters.[32]

It was originally announced that there would be simultaneous release on the PlayStation 2 and PC as well as concurrent Japanese and American release, but this was later changed.[34] There was also discussion of an Xbox release, but it was abandoned mainly because of its small 2 GB hard drive.[5] Originally announced in January 2000 at the Yokohama Millennium Conference, there was a great deal of negative press.[35] There were questions raised about naming the game the eleventh in the series, since it was not clear whether the game would have a structured story, which it ended up having, and the title of Final Fantasy Online was suggested.[36] Following an August 2001 beta test in Japan, a public Japanese Beta test was done in December 2001." - info from wikipedia

@wayne110 FFXI does have a storyline to it, several as a matter of fact, and there are many expansions that can be purchased to extend it too. I've been playing for 5 years now and can safely say that this is nothing like Wow.

@wayne110 lol everyone that played or plays FFXI is currently laughing at you- oh and the ones that obviously did their research.

[thedragoonknight]

Hmm, I just realized that this mix of the battle theme is an earlier version compared to that which plays ingame.

@brinelord5000 im not comparing it, im saying that people are wrong if they think ffxi copied WoW

[gideon001]

@silvyr boy i'll say. i've been on ffxi 6 years, just trying out WoW now and its very different. took me a year to get my first 75 job. with abysea its real easy to lvl up now.

[brinelord5000]

[GraceOnTheThirdDay]

@wayne110 you have obviously played neither of these games and you sir are an incompitent fat kid that sit in front of his TV all day and plays CoD all day everyday

[necrofang007]

and im not saying WoW sucks... the players do and yes i did my research FFXI came out 2002 WoW came out 2004

[necrofang007]

SE said they will continue to improve ffxi as long as people still play, you can solo or join a group, there is still plenty of players on the game for people who want to start, and im sick of people saying they copied off WoW... ffxi was actually designed before WoW so kiss my ass XD
