Can't really class FFXIV in the same league as the other FF games though (except 11)
They're story based RPG's, 11 and 14 are slightly story based MMO's, but i will definately be giving it a try, just a shame us ps3 users are having to wait much longer for it

It's fairly ****ty. I've been playing for the past few months. If you buy it this month accept that you're basically paying for a game that should still be in closed beta. Oh and you should play with a controller. Keyboard/Mouse controls are dreadful.

Should be a good game come March though.

-edit- I should add that it does have some nice things like being able to be any class at any time by just swapping weapons but everything is just so cumbersome to do. And they really suck at telling you what to do in the game.

My apologies, I haven't seen this update, I knew they began developing for the 360 but the live system meant they put it on hold. Could you link me to this update please? Wikipedia and various other sources seem to say it's still on hold.

They already had it planned for 360 but there was issues with xbl subscriptions, buying the game and ffxiv subscriptions. They sorted it out now, basically on xbox you have to pay 3 times which sucks.

I'll wait for it on 360. Console mmo's is where it's at for me.

buy a wireless adapter for 14 quid off amazon and use your wireless xbox controller on pc lol.
