Final Fantasy XI Details

GameDaily Newsletter (thanks Frans) has word that the Windows version of Final Fantasy XI (though they've scrambled their Roman numerals) will be shipping to North America in late October. Word is: "The first edition of the popular series to go online has already been released in Japan and counts over 250,000 registered users to-date. Owners of the PC version will be able to play in the same world as those playing the game on the PlayStation 2. No new details were forthcoming on the console version of the game, which will be released “in conjunction” with the debut of the PS2’s hard disk drive, whenever that is."

"PC owners will get a month of free online play, after which they will be required to pay a $12.95 per month subscription fee. Additional characters can be created for the charge of $1.00 per character per month."

I almost choked on my dinner when I was reading this. You pay 40-50 for the game, then 13 a month (Which is the high end of the MMO market) and then you have to pay 1 dollar per character per month extra if you want more then 1 guy/girl?!? WTF are they thinking!
