[Eyepatch]

PIMP dog ight geting on TS... i saw a little banner that sayed something like PVP coming soon or someshit like that bout alls i got to say is Grafics *druel

[Dynamic]

Graphics don't mean shit to me, just eye candy. UO had some of the worst graphics around, but in its prime it was the most fun game I have ever played.

very ture.. =(

PvP wont be the PK (kill anyone you want anywhere) kind of thing. It will be more of a conquest style PvP. Taking over lands for item drop bonuses and such.

I have to say though with such a nice quest system, job combinations, and no restrictions on what you can learn / do the game is well beyond many others. I can't think of a better MMORPG right now.

Hands down the best I've played. Square embarassed the competition with this one. Only thing that has come so close as promising *some* of what they've done is WoW.

I like killing people as much as the next guy but it's nice when PvP has a purpose. Something they're trying to do. Not some caster sitting on top of a building in Nerriak trying to get some free gear killing people at the bank.

Realistic? Well murderers are hunted down and arrested all the time... When is the last time you saw a soldier hunted down for following orders? So I see where they're going with the conquest system, if it even ends up that way.


Besides PK leads to unskilled lamers crying for nerfs... With this game you can master everything on the same character (can't beat them, join them) and we're talking consoles too so they wont be interested in nerfing. Good idea to not give people a reason to start crying for them.

Last thing you want to see is a red mage bitching because they couldn't kill a Dark Knight (has about as much Dark magic ability, but don't tell the American red mage that)....

I asked a Japanese player the other day how many nerfs did they go through? After we bridged the communication gap the answer was "Oh we don't have that here" You see... never happened lol. Basically they had changes but hardly anything reduced the skill of a job. But us Americans are playing now and goddamnit! we'll have our grief nerfs and exploiting if it's the last thing we do lol.


Great game guys. Enjoy it for what it is and wait for the PvP.


Again if you want a world passes for Unicorn, I'm your man.

Loden, you really do praise FFXI too much. It isn't that great and both UO and EQ blow it away for their time. Sorry but a game w/o active pvp or pk online isn't much of a game at all. SB would blow it away if it was bug free.

Saradin, what game are u playing now?

[Loden]

I never said it was better than upcoming titles but yes it is better than those currently out.

I'm not speaking simply on PvP. Believe it or not PK style PvP does more to ruin a game than it does to help it with balance pass after balance pass. PvP in a conquest realm vs realm setting is something you can manage because you encourage people to play their role in a combat situation. Not the typical Wizard complaining because a Shadow Knight kicked his ass...

If you think I'm praising the game too much. Play it for yourself. See how you can be every possible class there is in the game without registering another account, creating another character...

If I'm praising the game too much then try it for yourself, get used to the new interface (doesn't every new UI have some learning curve?) and notice how combat is actually a blast with the skillchain system I've described.

If you think I'm praising the game too much try it out and see if you find one complaint other than the UI and xp loss --UI and XP being expected complaints from new players-- and you make the determination.

PvP is coming and that's why the game got a look from me at all... Anyone who wants PvP to be full "Attack me anywhere" because it's "realistic" is nothing more than a sorry ass bank killer anyway. Not saying that you are one but I've heard this complaint and the realism just isn't there.

To the sorry ass bank killers who think that makes them uber, tell you what show me a game where the guards will hunt you down, kill you and remove all stolen items once you've killed someone inside their city and I'll support that.

I've got no problem with wasting someone and getting hate tells, no fun in it unless you get hate tells but there are some things I will not do. I guess that's why I can handle set environments for PvP. I don't expect an easy kill with little risk and the opportunity to loot whatever treasure they were keeping safe in the bank... Besides, who says you're even gonna get to kill people inside cities or banks at all in WoW? I really don't care either way but I doubt they'll allow that. Anyway, conquest style PvP means fewer balance passes as you're already expected to play your role to be successful. No Monks expecting to have a shot at killing Mage one on one where the mage got the first shot for example...

In the end, the good thing about opinions Saradin is just like assholes, everyone has one. Sorry but I'm a free thinking man and as I accept your take on the game as your opinion, you'll just have to be mature enough to understand that this is also one man's opinion.


Enjoy whatever it is your playing and I'll see you in WoW

I will give you this tho...

EVERY man in FFXI looks so feminine he might as well be a woman. Men with beards look like bearded women with exception to the one Human Model with beard. They actually look men.

Only other model that looks like a man is that beast race and they have no sex lol...

Elf women on the other hand, look just like elf men who look like butch women so they probably shouldn't have a sex either. :p

Agreed, but FFIX is new, entertaining, and pvp will be added. So im staying here, atleast till december to try it out.

[Arkons]
