    Something's bugging m, so I thought I'd share it with the community
    Well basicly what I'd like to know is how you guys feel about the whole monthly fee thingy which is going to be introduced by Square?
    As we all know, Final Fantasy XI is going to be an online experience and Square is going to realise this using their PlayOnline service.... For using that service they want to ask a monthly fee(!!)
    Don't you think that Final Fantasy games are already expensive enough? Don't get me wrong 'cause the games are all worth more than the money (Duh) but asking a monthly fee?! And what would the price be, I ask myself... 5$ a month? Neh... 10$ a month? That would mean 120$ a year(!!) well I don't know.... I'll probably end up buying the game and also paying the monthly fee... I just... *gasps* ...don't like the whole idea, I guess.
    What's you're opinion?
    Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities?Does not money, therefore, transform all my incapacities in to their contrary?(Marx, 1932/1964: 167)

      I don't like the idea of having to pay additionally to pay to play the game online, and you can only play it online! What is that!? It's going to be $10 a month, and I understand that Square will need the money after the movie this summer, but still...I think this is not exactly what the gamers want...

        Actually i still can't imagine what FFXI will be like...
        does that mean that u have to paly against other players or with other players on the same team?
        so what if everyone are using the same character?
        it will be weird if all the people in ur team are identical with same skills...
        and does that mean that u can't continue playing if the others have to leave?

          I think you can run around and find people to join up with. So you can join someones party and play together.
