Final Fantasy XIII

Khalus Akuhei — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 07:50:30 GMT

The day Final Fantasy XIII gets released in the US for XBox 360 and PS3!

Even though I've had some concerns about a few things I'd still like to get it if I can afford a 360 and the game by then. Course I do recall last week my younger brother offering to let my borrow his 360 sometime, guess I should ask him if I can on this date, and for the week after; then I'd only have to come up with $60 for the game...hrm

Hello Folks

Psybek — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:12:03 GMT

Hey Everyone,

I came across this linkshell by browsing over at mmorpg.com this past weekend. I have played FFXI before but it was at launch, and I am looking to give it another try. I figured with the sale on steam, it was a good of a time as ever to start. I made a new Taru on Fenrir and Id love to make some new friends and enjoy my time back in the world of FFXI.

Hey guys, this is the poster from MMORPG.com, I'm a brand new player to FFXI but a huge FF supporter overall. I played very briefly on a friend's account a while back and really liked the way the game played but never had the open opportunity to play. I'm now in a sound financial situation as well as social and want to invest a ton of time into an MMO that rewards you for hard work. I also can't wait for XIV and really want to get sucked into the FF Online World. I played Diablo 2 way back ...

Robot Unicorn Attack

Khalus Akuhei — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:25:40 GMT

This is actually a ton of fun, especially for ones reflexes, lets see who can get the highest score, and posting a screenshot of such accomplishments too. Music is nice... Robot Unicorn Attack I like the quote at the beginning, "You will Fail" "Persistence is Futile" I also found out that you get 100 points for dashing through the stars which keeps multiplying by 100 for each one you get, but if you miss one it resets back to 100 for the next, and so on...

Risk vs Reward

Tareith — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:36:37 GMT

So I was in a conversation with a friend of mine about MMOs in general and we both were talking about how one of the bigger things missing in MMOs is there's no risk anymore. Corpse Runs, Exp loss with deleveling, item loss, etc. The only ones remaining these days are watered down, slaps on the wrist that don't actually punish failing at all. It's the primary reason I never could get into PVP in an MMO. If you just get up again, no harm no foul; what's the point? It's become all reward, ...

The Jabberwocky and FFXI

So I rediscovered one of my old favorite poems (and I don't have many; I'm typically horrible at understanding poems): The Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll. I realized that there were at least a couple of things from the Jabberwocky that FFXI seems to have pulled from (one of them, "Vorpal", as in "Vorpal Sword", being the most well known). So here's the poem: --------- 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And ...

FFXIV can't fail

Tareith — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 16:05:02 GMT

Ok, so I've been thinking of making a post like this for a while. I've got several friends interested in FFXIV and when they ask if I think it'll make it, I respond that it can't fail because I won't accept it. After a giggle about it I explain my stance more. If FFXIV fails, I'm pretty sure I'll be done with MMORPGs in general. It's been ~5 years since the last GOOD mmo came out and that's far too long. The vast number of random games I've tried over the years just don't hold up to FFXI ...

Rumor: Final Fantasy XI to Be Closed this Year

Khalus Akuhei — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:41:34 GMT

Highly doubt this will happen....FFXI has been far too successful and not everyone is going to want to move onto XIV! Especially those that only have a dial-up connection still in the US, which I know many players in XI, like Bareta. Plus a place for those that still wanna do end-game during down times in XIV; having two MMOs subscribed. Quote:MMOSite is reporting on a rumor that Final Fantasy XI may be shutting down this year. The rumor originates from a "Japanese game media" ...
