If by "interesting" you mean "exactly like a half dozen PC games, but with that you have to buy an extra $100 in hardware to play" then yes...
That's definitely a cheap shot, man. I'm quite sure that's not what he meant.
The FF Job system (being able to change class freely and have a secondary job) has definitely not been done before in a MMORPG, and there's still a lot about the game that has yet to be revealed.
I somehow doubt that you've been keeping up with the details judging from your attitude toward the game, either.
Don't be an ass.
Sorry, sorry. I just had a mean streak just then. It comes by every couple hundred forum posts. Yeah, the FF job system is something new, but honestly I feel angry that it isn't being implimented in another FFT-like game, instead of one of these MMORPGs that piss me off so much. Not my genre, nosiree...

The game looks interesting...
will there be offline play at all?
like PSO i would like to play offline til i get hooked up with online so..
When first hearing things about the game, I wasn't that interested, but it looks like it's shaping up in some very interesting ways. I really like the fact that the six job classes are basically the same as the six different characters in the first Final Fantasy. That is really cool. I also think that the game looks beautiful, and the party and alliance system sound like they will work well. Of course, playing the game lends new opinions, but I don't know if I'll ever get to play it. Of course, they're have been rumors about FFXI going multi-platform, so if that does come about, then I may pick it up. My only problem is paying to play the game. I hate that. That's the only thing that sucks, and why I never picked up Ultima Online, though I've been tempted to. Oh well, I hope FFXI turns out great for all of those with a PS2 and the money to play it. :)

Funny that you mention it, whenever i played PSO online i only played decent ganmes with people from other countries. But an odd thing happened one time, i enter to a japanese game, they talk for a while (i dont understand of course) and all of the sudden one of them says "american go away" (eeehhh??) and no, i didnt steal items or cheat.
That only happened once tho, so i musta gotten a bad apple. Or maybe they had a bad apple and they tought i was one. Bah.

I agree. In general I don't get along with English-users (not you guys :P) on online games. I tend to stick around the Japanese section of them. In general, I'm not into online games. I was hooked on UO for awhile, but eventually had no time to play it. I play Diablo 2 once in a while, but very little. I really enjoyed PSO because I got to talk with many people.
For me, it's interaction. Not just "help me do a Bloody run," but communication with others. That is why I liked PSO. I don't know about the US servers (as I said I hang around the Japanese servers), but I had so many conversations with others. About random stuff. About(back then) rumored rare items. About Sega quitting the system biz. Getting mail. People giving items and weapons when I "lost".
If FF Online turns out like that, I'll think about it (also the if the battle system is decent; I don't like the way it looks). Still all that extra cost......
