They look really nice.
Holding out hope for WoW 360 though.

you cant walk arround in that area in 2nd picture. Thats a cliff on the far end of one of the zones it's just an overlook. The game (like most mmorpgs seem to have) has several real nice overlook areas that are just fun to sit at.
Would like to see them post a picture of the last Boss arena from Chains of Promathia.

Now I wish they'd do an expansion that you do to revive the city as a part of the story and have missions that are similar to Dynamis (but more chaotic) and some strategy elements! Can you imagine being able to setup catapults and shit for an assault like in the intro of the game?

They actually kind of did that in Chains of Promathia. While you can't visit the city, you can go to the underground safehold of the city where the people hid out durring the attack. As you progress in the story the city becomes more alive by restoring ties with the outside world. You'll get access to more quests, and eventually even get access to the auction house in Jeuno from this safehold.

All it needs is "OMFG N00B TANK" and "HEEEL ME" to a dead WM.

Even if you "mountain goat" to it ala WoW? That sucks.
One quick, big question.
FFXI on the Ps2 only worked if you had a hard disk (hope I'm correct). Will this mean that you Must have the Hard disk to play it on Xbox360. If yes how many titles will be "Works only if Hard Disk is used".
If this is the case they should eliminate the cheep bundle.

Yeah but you'll have to wait until 2009 to get Holy Grail on BR-DVD.

Well, the honest truth is that you CAN do a console MMORPG (even FFXI) without using a HDD. SOE did it with EQOA (which actually has a seamless "no loading" world without zones) without a HDD by having a 4MB file on the memory card for patches.
It is possible the X360 version of FFXI has been modified to work off the disc and use a file on the memory card to store patches.
ManaByte said:
Unlikely. I reinstalled this spring and had to download over 400 megabytes of patches. Granted those patches went all the way back to the NA PC release, but as time goes on the patch list for the 360 version will also probably overwhelm a 64MB memory card.
It's still a very pretty game, although that's due to the art more than anything. One of my friends used to run the PC version at 1280x768 on his Samsung DLP and it was stunning. That's what I expect the 360 version to look like (the screens above were pretty much what he was getting on his TV). However, I am still amazed that anyone can play the game on PS2. I have that version (snagged the hard drive on sale) and good lord is it butt ugly.

And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu.......
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

Like every other optical disc based game that hasn't been released for a Xbox or PC or is FFXI?
Seriously though, apart from the excessive expansions, there's no real reasons why they can't stream the stuff off the disc. Dual layer is more than enough to handle all the data upto date. But the patches over time can be a few hundred megs. That's the real problem.
