why did they number this game?
this may be a pointless thread but I was wondering why did they call this game "Final Fantasy XI", they should have just called it "Final Fantasy Online"

Most likely to entice more people into buying it. But really, I have no clue, it should have been called FF nline and forgotten about.

Probably... but, still, it doesn't 'fit' properly, hm... And yeah, definitely should have been FF Online.

I agree. Calling this game FFXI was just a marketing ploy, but I think more people who play without the internet got pissed off. I know I was.
Heh, it's funny then; FFXII would've been FFXI, and then maybe the FFXIII would be FFXII and maybe it would be for the PS2 XD

Lol, good point ^^
Nah I don't see why it's a numbered game either. Can't comment on quality since I haven't played it, but it does seem strange that they would give what's essentially an MMORG a number. Barmy.

It really shouldn't have been given a number, FF Online or something else would have been more appropriate. It doesn't really deserve a spot in the main line, it's just side game, like the Chocobo series and the Ivalice Alliance. Same can be said for FF12.

A very pointless thread, cant believe people still complain about this...
It came after 10... its a Final Fantasy.
Its called Final Fantasy XI: Online
It isnt any less of a Final Fantasy just because you people dont like it, most of which probably havent even played it at all.

It shouldt be numbered at all, it's stupid.
I agree that FF online would have been much more fitting. I'm pretty sure alot of people can't play it through lack of internetz or whatever. I have it but don't play it because I hate playing games on my pc

Yeah I always wondered why they named it XI, it suggests it's part of the main series of games when it is clearly not, or atleast, it's not in my opinion.
They should of called it like you've all said, Final Fantasy Online.

Most likely was a marketing ploy. It eventually worked for me, I bought it and played it for awhile. $12 a month got to be a little too expensive if you don't play it all the time though. For MMORPG's, I'd rather go with Guild Wars or some downloadable one. At least there's no monthly fee on those. GW has more strategy in it in my opinion, since there's no power leveling.
The graphics are pretty decent and like starting out with many MMO's, they can be addicting. I liked it more than WoW since that game is just a little too massive. Plus it seemed the majority of people there just hated new people joining the game, where FFXI people seemed to genuinely wanted to get you into it. Maybe because there aren't so many active people in the game anymore. XD
