Yep, if I can use my character in it, or something that has to do with him, then yeah I'll try it out. xD

Re: What will you do when/if FFXI2 comes out?

I would most definitely give it a shot and stay around for a while if i enjoyed it. This post reminded me about whatever this new MMO SE has been working on for a little while now. I hope they finally start releasing some info/details in the next several months. I really doubt we'll find out anything this year though.

All these people talking about "I might try it if I can some how take my character over"

No MMO that has a sequal has done this, and I hope SE plays it smart and keeps it that way.

As for me, I would try it, and if it was a great improvement on the original, I would switch.

FFXI does not base itself on what other MMOs do or do not do.

As to what the smart choice would be, that depends entirely on how the game is made and what is changed. There are plenty of console games out there that allow you to roll over save data from one game to the sequel; and when you look at it, there's very little keeping SE from being able to make FFXI an offline game (Hell, they even label it "FINAL FANTASY XI: Online" in some places).

For me, it all depends, mostly where my friends go, but also on whether I could keep Aks because I've grown attached and I've put so much work into her.

Re: What will you do when/if FFXI2 comes out?

for me it comes down to probably where my friends go and some of my friends from these forums go, I would love to play on the same server as askyanni murphie and others like we did before. My computer Got aids so my itouch for then win.

what I was getting at is that no other MMO does it, and for good reason.

yes there are games (like .hack) that let you do this, but they are offline games

The new game would in my opinion be ruined right away if old characters where transfered over... besides what fun is it to start a new MMO with a fully leveled character -.-

It depends on a lot of things, really... as it stands, it would mostly be on what game mechanics changed.

mm yeah, very true. if they changed nothing, I would most likely not even touch it past a 30 day free trial

What fun is it to start a new server with old characters? Plenty of MMOs have their servers do a completely fresh start when they make a new one; but SE let us transfer over.

And the fun, exactly like Aksannyi said, is that most of us have grown attached to our characters. How many of us refuse to RMT our characters not because it's wrong, not because we wouldn't make any money, but because we'd feel like we're selling a part of ourselves?

well yeah, I myself would never sale off that baseis

but its not like people have not done it before, switching from one MMO to another and starting over, this would be the same thing.

If your attacked like most of us are, make the character look as close to your old one as you can and give it the same name or very similar.


Now I know some people can do this, and transfer the attachment, and some cant. This I understand, but I would still stand by my "it would ruin the new game" statment.

Eh, but you don't present any validation for that.

Final Fantasy games have a helluva lot more to them than just leveling and gaining items.

Re: What will you do when/if FFXI2 comes out?

If I couldn't transfer Aks to a new MMO I'd probably play both, if the new one proved to be entertaining enough.

Re: What will you do when/if FFXI2 comes out?

All you people this, all you people that...

What all us people need to do is quit this game already!
I've had enough...it's been like 4 years. Who's with me? LOL :D
