I think he means crisis :P

Pros dont have HDMI yet, here, I think. They should soon though.

If its like 3 days you just take it back to the shops and get it returned, it was obviously faulty to begin with or you're just lying.

No, 65 chips are not in AUS yet, we don't even have HDMI pros yet.

Hi! I own all 3... don't know why, but I play them quite alot.

1. Final Fantasy XI(360 version)

FF online has one major downfalling, not alot of solo play, it also feels like much more of a grind.

2. World of Warcfraft

The leveling is definatly casual friendly, when you hit endgame its a bit less-so.

3. Guild Wars

The level cap is 20 :P LOL, most of the missions in guild wars are more "skill" based, as in they're mostly for level 20s. So youre required to know how to play rather than just level up till you can do it. My advice is to not get prophecies though, i find it the most boring campaign. Nightfall and factions are great (they're all standalone games, not xpacs) except for eye of the north which is the most recent.

Gw is definatly the most casual friendly, its not a real mmo though. *theres no fees*

FFxi is a super grind / slap in the face, its not very casual friendly

Wow has a pretty fun setup (gameplay wise) but do you'll get sucked into it and never be free again.

PS was a failure, in terms of people playing/money and stuff, they won't make another.

We can all hope blizzard will make a starcraft FPSMMO?

200 people per faction on a continent? You wish, it was much closer to 100, if even that.

Webzen said it would be much closer to 200 people per area.

Is being made by real time worlds (crackdown) and webzen, but looks far away.

Yeah, personally I'm sick of ff clone rpgs and would rather play mmos. It's funny how japanese people still choose to play ffonline over wow.

Lots of fps, like gears of war, are obviously not going to appeal to japanese people.

I think its square enix that control the japanese people, they're mentioned alot how unhappy they are with the ps3 technology. Im assuming you'll start seeing alot of their francises on other machines, or not-so-exclusive after the release of ff 13. Dragonquest has already moved to the nintendo DS (not a spin off- its the next dragon quest). and it looks like the next ff mmo will be vista/360/ps3, gamespot wern't very good at japanese and misinterpretated the square enix conference.

Will japan really dictate the market? I'm not so sure. Eternal sonata looks good :)
