Newest E3 info says that FF11 wont be released until, "Sometime in the first half of 2003." Does it take a year to set everything up over here? I highly doubt Ill be able to wait that long for that game. How bout you?

I guess it does take that long to set everything up since it ain't comin' out for almost a year, supposing what you said was true, so there must be a lot to be done. I can wait, though since I am not too excited about the game.

I think translating the game from Japanese into American, is taking a long time, but then again, Square could just have translated it, while working on the Japanese version.

Last year I read that our friends a Squaresoft were supposedly releasing both versions simultaneously this summer...which would make more sense. I'd hate to be jumped by some over-powered japanese barbarian when I bring my poor, defenseless little level 1 character into action. Unless they split up the worlds..

I dunno. The more I hear about FFXI the more I can picture it being just like any other mediocre MMORPG out there today.

It probaly means that we have to wait at least 6 long months to get it over seas into Europe x_X and then our network needs to be set up.... so... whee... looks like It won't be anytime soon for Europe x_x
Still sucks for the Us ofcourse, but it sucks more for Europeans and Australi�ns o_o

Ya Tekno you got a point there, it will take forever, if even at all, to get over to Europe. But then again you live in Amsterdam, so you shouldnt be complaining at all :D . At least the new Zelda game looks interesting. Warcraft III is also coming out, which should be able to hold me over to.

You won't be able to play with people in Japan

Really? I heard we could.

Nah unfortunately ours will be on our own dedicated server here in the US

Quite right. The US should be subjugated to their own server. Sucks to be you :p.

...wait a minute...we won't be getting FF11 until 6 months after you, because of stupid translation into European languages ;_;

DAMN YOU GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY AND UH...THAT OTHER COUNTRY! DAMN YOU!

...and they're not translating it from Jap to American, they're translating it from Jap to English. Dolt.
