It's not giving me hope, that's for sure. For some reason I've just got a really bad feeling about the game.

A bad feeling about what exacltly? FFXI, the expansion, or both? Granted I have no interest in playing it, but then again I don't play MMORPG's. Period.

I think I've accepted that this game is never going to be released outside Japan...

So how's it been selling in Japan? I thought MMORPGs had been really unsuccesful there in the past. I'm not sure why... Something like that really just doesn't do it for me for whatever reason. If I need 13 year old hacker wannabe's and people who live their life through the game messing with me, I'll go play UO two years ago. That's not what I need in my FF experience. --------- Smak

For a MMORPG in Japan that requires the hard drive, it's doing quite well. It's hit the "profit zone" or whatever the FFXI team is calling it, which is 200,000 subscribers.
It just pisses me off when people say garbage like "FFXI sucks since it didn't sell a million copies like FFX!!!" because obviously the point of FFXI is to sell fewer copies and make money over the longer term.
It'll probably never come over here due to a combination of no hard drive release and an inability to finance the NA servers, but lack of sales isn't an issue.

IGN has it scheluded as TBA 2003. So there may be an slim chance, and if they do release the drive it will probably be in ridiculously limited quantities like the BBA (which i got by sweet talking an employee.)

Yeah, but the date keeps getting pushed back with no real information about the release. Pretty much everything we know about the game is from fan feedback and such. I don't think there's any official Square information yet. Oh well, at least I'm more excited about FFX-2 now...

I doubt we'll see this for the PS2 unless Square can get Sony, or some other company, to take a chance on the HD.
However the PC port looks promising in terms of US release, and would be a wise release if Square can get some server help (And I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, as FF has the name going for it...).
