the online "thing" is very good for the Final Fantasy series, it suits it a lot. the Only thing that is the let down is that you have to Pay a monthly fee. and that is a Lot of Money. thats the Only problem i see.
i played it at the EGN Convention and it was great fun to play.

oh yeah it's pretty damn fun
plot's almost pointless though
the game follows a set pattern essentially

I'm dreading the next 2 lvls tbh
when I have to do about 5 seriously hard and time consuming things just so I can get to 61

:( i'm half way to leaving the game. but's it's very fun because everyone's a real person ^^
You like this forum? try having that follow you around while your playing ff7, and EVERYONE can relate. it's great fun.
the fee is miniscule tbh. only £7 for me. it's like one less take out in a month

it's actually $15 american, but when I pay with £ sterling, it's only about 7

it's just that the pound is worth about twice as much as the dollar, and to me that's not that much every month.
Last time I was in America I spent a brick load of money but got sooooooo much out of it.

yes i know more about currency changes than most people actually.
but i said last time i checked it was Fifteen Pounds, not American Dollars.

and then £7 is STILL too much money to spend a month on a service for a game.

Nah, not really. If you play it 30 hours a month, then it is a mere $0.50 per hour.

And though I don't know much about prices in England or whatever, £15 is insane. Honestly, I'd doubt that was ever the price for one month.

if it were a rubbish game I might agree..
but this is the only online game you'd need. Although I'm nearing my limit.

ALLLL the best stuff doesn't happen till you get to lvl 75. I've had it for nearly a year now and I'm stuck at aorund lvl 59. The job I choose isn't a popular one so it's hard to lvl. Even when I get to lvl 75, I may never get to go on the more interesting excursions.

well you just went and proved yourself. why buy a game you have to spend like £84 to only get halfway.
and i buy games to have fun playing them and i can't see me playing another MMORPG taking me months of paying to not bother finishing.

sup to you I guess
but the last few months I've played the game haven't been wasted. I've had a lot of fun and met a lot of ppl.
only reason I'm considering leaving is cause just about everyone I knew has left too.
just today about 2hrs ago, my best online friend quit too. He says to meet him in counter strike, but I doubt I'll ever see him again.

counter strike is awesome !! i wish i had that game, i don't know which one to get since there are different versions.

but if they take the charge off then i would play.

people (actual gamers) make a living off the game. not a very respectable one though...
Ever hear of Gil Sellers? I wont get into the details but they essentially ruin the game for a lot of ppl and get in everyones way...

And I've got CS source which is okay. not as many maps though...as the CS that comes with Half Life 1
