I am a fan of Square-Enix. I am not a Square-Enix fanboy.

Final Fantasy 10 was my first Final Fantasy. It is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time. I spent an entire summer learning how to play Zanarkand on the piano - having never played piano before.

FFXI was my first MMO. In my opinion, it is the best MMO out there. It has some major problems but considering my incredibly favorable impression of Square-Enix, I had assumed that SE would take what it's learned from it's 8 years of FFXI and release the best MMO for years to come.

I will not just support something right or wrong. Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.

Unfortunately Square Enix did learn a lesson fron Final Fantasy XI: That you can release a game much before it's ready and patch it after, and still be successful.

I'm sure many would love a FFXI-2. Personally, I can only applaud the choice to try to innovate the model. I played FFXI for 6 years. That's plenty to get bored, even when a game is great. And FFXI was. But still, after 6 years, I found myself bored.

Incidentally, the MMO that I think is the best in the market is Dark Age of Camelot. I'm quite glad to see that Yoshida agrees
