If you know ANYONE with a high speed connection, tell them you NEED to mooch it for a few hours, since I've seen Square's horrible program that downloads the updates..why they need to unzip it right after downloading that file is beyond me.
because its connecting to a server and not each person. it shouldnt matter whether its all 6 or 1on1.

the server would still send the same amount of info to the dialup user for them to download. However if its syncing and connecting to each player to player it would be differnt.

only online game i've ever played on dialup was Quake 1 for PC back in the day. the only differnce really was that some things didnt count that you thought shoulda. because your connection is slower. so if it looked like i shot someone on my screen, in reality it might not of actually hit them. Didnt make a diff how many people were playing. 1 or 12

but consoles may work differntly and i've never played a console game on dialup.
