Let's not forget the most important facet, is the fact that this "minigame" does not equate to giving the player a form of convenient transportation ( something that has been a standard in almsot every other MMO on the market). Instead, it's yet another distraction  to create yet another distraction (racing) in a game comprised of distractions - having lost player direction and "fun" since the release of Chains of Promathia.

Aht Urghan is a promising new expansion, but SE's habitual release of incomplete content in a retail package leaves much to be desired, especially after the year we had to wait to have CoP completed, and hated almost all of it.

Dio's right, most of us have grown up and expect alot more from the gameplay experience in the MMO market, and that's an arena FFXI has failed miserably to adapt to.

It's GameArts' next game that will be a sequel to Silpheed.

No.

So, how do you like breaking copyright law?

Dirge of Cerberus will already be available in summer. Devil Summoner Kuzu no Ha Raidou tai Chouryoku Heidan will be available in the US this fall as well, so yes, there will be a Shin Megami Tensei-related game.

Personally I bought Final Fantasy XII in Japan last month and from the little I have played so far, I was not impressed at all. I have little time to play games right now, but if I had enough time, I probably would rather play Nouryoku Toreenaa 2 for PlayStation Portable or Ookami despite the annoying voice acting.
 
I have recently seen some in-game screenshots of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII which looked decent. However, I will wait until Square Enix announces more details regarding the battle system, before I decide as to whether I should pick that game up or not. I'm also considering Persona 3, if I can get it for a reasonable price.

The game I'm anticipating most is Xenosaga Episode III: Also sprach Zarathustra. Since I will pick up the Japanese version, I won't have to wait until fall, though. I just hope, the story is good.

Please, do keep us informed when you get it. ^_^
