Examples successful offline/online games:

• Demons Souls/Dark Souls - Mostly offline, but online content is a nice addition - online component is very well integrated and immersive.
• Monster Hunter - Online is optional but Online and Offline are balanced well (total death limit)
• Diablo - Offline is an option, but online is the most typical way to play.

Looking at that list, I would love to see a FF game in one of those veins at some point. But one thing that all those games have in common is high customization of your main character. So an offline/online FF game would have to be setup like an MMO and balanced rather carefully.

I would pay copious amounts of money for a offline/LAN style FFXI...

Literally, I'd pay $1000. Oh nostalgia, to be able to walk around that old world with no others!

I'm still hoping for an offline FFXI-2 someday (sequel/prequel/side-story). Maybe for a portable system or something. I do miss Vana'diel at times and it would be fun to have a game that you could just pick up and play a bit there.
