FFXI is a horrible game. Its huge over there. Sorry but the Japanese aren't the benchmark for a great MMO
FFXI has about 400k players, WoW has millions, Lineage 1 has millions, Lineage 2 has millions, so I'd hardly call FFXI a huge hit over there.
And they have entire shows devoted to mmorpg. The closest we have is a video game channel that might dedicate 2 minutes to a review of one. They have cafes and bars with moniters and keyboards built into tables for game access. I dont see any of that in my local Hooters bar
LOL that would be amazing right?!! Oh waitress another Tecate.....oh crap wings on my Keyboad!!!!

Yeah I was stationed in Kadena AB, When a game comes out its like Aerosmith came to town. It wont be long till the game dies here. If you like Rome stuff there is a Rome MMORPG called Roma Victor that looks pretty cool. Beta is open if anyone wants to test it out. LOL read the combat system its funny as hell.
I was considering trying that mmorpg as Ive heard good things about it. Im currently in beta for Dark and Light which is a unique mmorpg, only one giant server and the game world is the largest by far (several thousand square miles literally)

SWG Japan also was not SOE/LA
It was EA/LA
They are more being folded into the SOE system and EA is leaving the game. That is the big difference.
not really being shut down but brought into one house again.
The SOE in europe and americas and EA in japan and asia was stupid to begin with.
Well that's another fine example of the Betamax vs VHS syndrome. The crappier one wins, and the better one gets shelved.
Typical.
Oh, and yes, FFXI is SO CRAP, it made me glad to get back to SWG after playing it for 15 minutes.

This proves the Japanese are smarter than us,
They figured it out a long time ago that it was wrothless to play something that had completly destroyed Star Wars as we know it. I mean the japanese didnt only play the game because SOE is an american divison of a Japanese run company (sony). But because Japan loved Star Wars. And SOE has done nothing but break the spirits of an entire nation, just because they liked Star Wars.........
Thanks SOE for destroying a countrys faith in one of the greatest film franchises of all time...
SWG Japan, you will be missed
