I must agree ff11 has a lot of work still but comon name one mmo that is good in japan lol besides diablo which doesnt count =P. The fact is japan isnt as big on those games as we in america are so thats why it did bomb at first. But there is a lot of loyal players that play both the japanese and english versions such as myself. Now saying that it mimicks eqoa i would tend to sway more towards eq pc but now doesnt everything else out there, along with eq mimicking the father of of them all ultima? I guess we all mimick each other but the point is ff and eq both are aquired taste that not all people are going to like. So a reaaaaaaaalllly reaaaaaaalllly good alt could be sh*t to everyone else unless maybe u conisder "W.O.W" to be one =P. Anyhow i rambled enough peace out hommie g cradle rock and god bless the ( .
