Final Fantasy XI PC update



SquareSoft reveals new details on Final Fantasy XI, its first massively multiplayer online role-playing game for the PC.

According to Japanese PC gaming publication Login, SquareSoft has revealed new details on Final Fantasy XI for the PC. The 11th installment in the Final Fantasy series will be the company's first massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and it is being developed for both the PC and the Sony PlayStation 2 console. Though the game's specifications have not been finalized, so far it is known that it will require a graphics card that supports hardware T&L and DirectX 8.1. It is expected that users can choose from different resolution settings depending on their hardware specifications. Players will be able to share data between the PC and Sony PlayStation 2 versions since the game uses server-side saving.

The PC version will be released on CD-ROM format, as opposed to the DVD-ROM format used for the PS2 version. Final Fantasy XI for the PS2 is scheduled for release sometime in the spring in Japan, and the PC version will follow shortly thereafter. A North American release date for both versions has not yet been announced. SquareSoft also plans to release Final Fantasy XI expansion packs for both versions of the game in the future.

So, any ideas on how you think it will be differn't?
I would have thought that it would have much smooher, quicker graphics (As it said above, differn't resolution settings) and less lag.
I hope you can play PS2 people, show em' who's boss! :D
