As said above, if it was free to play after purchase I'd play it. Paying monthly for MMOs is not unreasonable, I just find it to be a waste of money unless you're on there 24/7.

Also, it's just been announced that it's very likely going to be ported to 360 at the Square Q&A.

most mmo's are like 20 bucks a month. 5 bucks a week .... hardly a factor in decieding wether to play or not unless you don't have an income ....
Anyway, it won't be free. and it will likely suck if it's anything like FFXI

First of all, don't misquote. It is not "very likely" to be "ported to 360". They're considering all possibilities for hardware, which includes "Microsoft hardware".

Secondly, that could be a mistranslation on behalf of the interpreter. Microsoft and PC are interchangeable to a lot of people, so I'm waiting for an official announcement before I go screaming that it's not console exclusive to PS3.

It's not an issue about income but rather if you're paying close to $100 for a game and you have to pay monthly installments on top of that, it really mounts up after a while for just one game. $20 for 12 months and you're looking at $340 for game and play time. Would rather have three games and some money left over.

And SAIUN, jeez talk about touchy fanboy. I'm hardly screaming it from the rooftops, was just saying it's very likely considering with him saying they're considering all hardware plus Square's recent dealings with MS and XIII on the 360. It's not misquoting, it's my opinion that that is what was meant by it and that opinion was shared by IGN and Gamespot.

The only thing I don't like about having to pay is that you use a credit card which not everyone can get (like myself). It would be better if they had prepaid cards you can but like with WOW. If they did I would deffinitly get this game. It's not the amount it costs just that I'm unable to use a credit card for everything. Same reason why I could never get FF11 too.

That doesn't sound like "opinion". How about "based on the announcement just made, I think it's likely it'll be ported to 360". See the world of difference that makes?

[otorishigeru]

Uhh yeah it is opinion. I looked at what was reported on a website and wrote what I thought would happen. I didn't know that I had to explicitly spell out everytime that I was expressing my opinion on these forums so that someone doesn't start whinging. Use some common sense *****, do I work for Square? No, I made a judgement based on the data which would be my opinion.

[SAIUN]

Alright newbie, that's enough internet argument for now. I see you're struggling to get my point so we'll leave it there.

[Lil_AzZa]

haha these newbies give me teh lolz

*exits*

[otorishigeru]

Arrogance: because insults are easier than actual justification. I understand exactly what you meant but I just don't think you're right. Get over yourself

[Lythinari]

Dont worry, we can all calm down.

It'll most likely be ported, like its predecessor =)

And it will probably be a timed exclusive.
