Sephiroth Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 square has finally announced that ff11 will indeed be released on the pc, as well as the ps2! though no release date has been given yet, they have hinted at the fact it could be released a few months after ps2 release.... quite possibly, the game could be released in the US and UK [I]before[/I] it is released in japan on pc, this is indeed good news for us UK'ers, US'ers too! so far, they have not announced anything about whether there will be any extras on the pc version.... the game will not need a monthly subscription as the ps2 version has, this is indeed the best news as those who do not want to pay the subscription can simply play the game on their pc.... no word has been given yet as to whether pc players will be able to interact with ps2 players, sources say no.... thats it for now Safer Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] Yeah thats good news alright, i think internet games would work much better on PCs than on the ps2, although i will still get on ps2 to add it to my collection FF collection!!!

Guest Voodookanaka Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 gah! im going to have to buy it twice now *looks at his two copies of FF7* grrr...lousy square.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Yeah, I've known about the PC version for a while. I'm sure that differences will be kept to a minimal. My guess is that the PC version will have slightly sharper graphics. I would really hope that PS2 players could interact with PC players though. Unlike most first person shooting games, PC users wouldn't have a huge advantage in areas of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 [B]I thought square would do this, FF11 being an almost completely online game, PCs handle ping and such things better, but it's a good move for square, this will certainly draw in a lot of PC gamers who don't have PS2s or don't want to shell out for one.[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desbreko Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 [color=indigo]YES! NO MONTHLY FEE!!!!! I am [i]so[/i] happy about this!!! I was going to have to get it for the PC anyway (no PS2), but this makes it even better! Oh, and I had heard that PS2 and PC users were going to be able to interact... Why wouldn't they be able to, anyway? The character information and everything is stored on their servers, you're just using a different kind of machine to access it...[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conpiracymonki Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 [b]It's system discrimination ;) I'll buy whichever one most people here buy (if it's true about the non-interaction thing) so maybe we can have a Otaku clan, where the British member aren't as built up as the Americans etc[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 [SIZE=1]This is very good news. :) I wouldn't have wanted to pay monthly on my PS2, plus buying the HDD and Modem. Now I just have to install it on my PC and that's that. :) It's still online right? And if so, does the charge just go to your monthly internet phone line bill?[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Harlequin Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Considering the likely sheer influx of users, it's most likely that it will be put on a monthly basis. I don't suppose anyone heard how many months after every other country the pc version will come out in Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidargh Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 From sources, I've read FF 11's going to come out on Gamecube. But I dont know if this's true. Anyway, quick question to everyone. What format are you going to buy FF 11 for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what would make FF11 so different than ant other pc online games for it to have a subscription fee, although the chances are likely that it will because the ps2 version would make a lot of money from it, so square would think "why not do it on the pc, wed just be losing out."

Sephiroth Posted May 27, 2002 Author Share Posted May 27, 2002 you are mistaken about FF11 coming out for the GC.... it is not coming out for the GC.... and in latest news, square have announced that they are indeed doing what sega did with PSO V2 for the UK, meaning that UK'ers will just need to connect with their internet service provider's, meaning no monthly fee, hurrah for the UK then.... japan will continue to pay a monthly fee.... the US is an unknown factor....

Desbreko Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 [color=indigo]Well, from what I've heard, Square will be making a game that connects to a GBA version of the game using the GCN - GBA Link Cable. I haven't heard any official announcements about those games being Final Fantasy games or not, though. And where are you getting these screen shots of FFX on the GCN from? If it's from a gaming magazine, what's the name of the magazine?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
