I heard rumors that they were binding the CD-Keys, somehow, this time around - due to people buying it for one platform and borrowing their friends' discs to install it on multiples. If this is true, it might only be for the PS3 version, though - so let us know how the torrent turns out.

If they do end up restricting it somehow, I'll be pretty disappointed. That general freedom of play platform due to the bulk of payment coming from monthly subscriptions was one of the things that drew me to FFXI in the first place. I'd probably skip buying the PS3 version (which I'd planned to shell out for, anyway) just out of spite.

That or if they pulled the "exclusive item you can only obtain by activating a code BEFORE you play the game" bullshit on us again...
