[Jun 23, 2003, 8:01 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

There are several sites offering promotions that could land a spot in the beta testing of Final Fantasy XI for the PC. ATI Technologies is offering spots in the test to the first 1000 eligible applicants, FilePlanet is accepting applications from their paid subscribers over the next couple of days for the giveaway of an unspecified random number of spots, and likewise, GameSpot and Stratics Central are giving away some beta spots to their paid subscribers as well. Finally, The Final Fantasy Vault is holding a trivia contest to give away their spots. The Vault, Stratics, and FilePlanet giveaways are for U.S. and Canadian registrants only, but the ATI site mentions no such restriction, and details about the GameSpot registration cannot be viewed by non-subscribers.

Well the thing abut the FF games is that they're mainly fantastically popular in Japan, and then they're vicariously popular in America since America like Japanese culture. Ergo, if it was an American developer I think Americans would be more tired and cynical of the series.

The other thing is that the games more or less have nothing to do with each other - it's not like say Mario where you think "how many times can they save this princess?", the stories are different every time. The main consistency is the same developer/designers.

Finally though, I don't think this 11th game has much to do with the gameplay of the previous games - it's mainly just the name in common.
