Highly Notorious Monsters

They're both great games, though the fanbase feels the need to bash other titles in the series, for some reason.

I'm sorry but XI and VII are not both great games. XI has nowhere near the critical acclaim, world wide fanbase, sold copies and up until this day pple still cry for a VII remake..... nobody wants a XI remake besides the tiny XI fanbase....

While this is off topic, I think your statement is unfair.

XI's Fanbase, according to MMOStats, in 2007 was almost 600,000 people. Yet you consider that "tiny", before WoW came out it was the highest subbed MMO on the market. (yes, it beat EQ/DAoC/UO).

Yet, regardless of how many players a game had; That does not take away from the fact that alot of people absolutely loved Final Fantasy XI. Just because the game didn't sell 20 million copies wordwise, does not lessen its appeal to most. Why should people get bashed for wanting aspects of a game they so loved put into another game? I may not like certain games, but if a number of people really want content similar to something from that title, then by all means! If it makes people happy, and keeps this game alive, then damnit put all the content in that you can possibly muster up. And I don't think anyone can argue the playerbase's interest in NM/HNM content.

All these one sided remarks do nothing for this game. We need to stop looking at content in terms of black and white, and more of the grey area and do our best to come up with as much stuff to throw in SE's direction. The worst that could happen is the game stays the way it is.

I'll stop your right there.... 600K highest MMO in the market? Try Ragnarok Online and it's more than 40 Million subs. Yes 40 000 000.


As for the HNM yes yes i'm all for that, got nothing against it being from XI. Just when someone praises XI as the god of the FF series and then turn around to say they hate VII, well as a true Final Fantasy fan it just makes puke in my mouth.

This may be hard to understand, but a pay to play is not an attractive payment method for a huge majority of people.

And yes, they were both fantastic games. Deal with it. Both are equally as nostalgic/memorable.

I played both games. Nostalgic is not what i would use to describe XI as for memorable it is more like a memory of the last time you went to the dentist or had a very bad hemorrhoid...
