    UO did it. Kill enough PCs (or NPCs) and you could end up with a permanent red flag. Basically, anyone could kill you any time without any penalty to their character and NPC town guards would teleport to you and start hacking on you the moment you stepped within town boundaries.

    Just because I work for ShinRa doesn't mean you have to hate.

    FFXI's storyline already made you the bad guy (with good intentions though) I can see this game doing the same.

    I wish i could be evil in this game, I would kill them silly green flying rat things and then the woman from the main storyline quest. Next would be my companion and the NPC repair guy for not repairing my gear to 100%

    Playing an evil character in a game without permadeath is pointless. When there is no possibility of lasting repercussions for your actions, it destroys the sense of danger and excitement. Ever done something that would get you in tons of trouble if you were caught? Just like that, the thrill is half the fun.

    Also...in FF, you're always playing for the good team, as others have mentioned.

    "it destroys the sense of danger and excitement. Ever done something that would get you in tons of trouble if you were caught?" Maybe in real life, but where talking about a computer game. Dunno about you but i don't get excited or thrilled from killing a Marmot.

    This is an MMO, not a single-player game.

    Final Fantasy has always been about conflict.

    Yet thus far we don't see much conflict in this game. We hear about it, maybe a few quests detailing it, but overall I don't feel like I have a goal in this game to end conflict.. kinda just doing leves. kinda feels empy. this sucks lol
