If Square can put the effort in to have FF11 in japan then why cant they do that for north america? they probly figure it wont sell to good here, and they're probly right. i would've bought it easily, i'll have a job by then and $200 will be a walk in the park to dish out for the game. after playing socom and seeing how cool it is online with your buddies and a bunch of other people from all over north america, i can only dream as to how sweet that would be in FF11. i was looking forward to a change in pase in the FF series. i like the freedom in FF11, so much to do. Teaming up with your friends to kick some ass in an FF game is like a dream come true.

Yeah, I agree that FF11 sounds like a dream game, I mean like, when I read the first full preview of a game it sounded amazing. But I dont see why it needs a hard drive, like playing FF11 is almost like a PC game, you install it into PS2's HDD and you never need the disc again until you want to re-install, and how much is the PS2 HDD gonna be? Prolly around 150-200 Canadian, which is much too expensive, even though Ill have a job, thats blowing almsot a whole week's work, and I'd like to save up for a new PC, and I want an Xbox, so that there is tons. Let's not forget about monthly fees, it was like 10 bucks US in Japan, thats crazy, PSO is only like 15 bucks for every 3 months, thats half the price of FFXI, and PSO doesnt even need a Hard Drive, which is why I shall get PSO first.
I have to admit this, if FF11 was released here, I think it would flop. I'm not denying that the game sounds awesome, because it does. I mean like, say if someone wants to rent it, they need the NA and HDD, and nevermind the fees, which makes this game impossible for rental, seeing as its online only, where as PSO is both. In fact, playing PSO offline is actually a major part to your character's development.
I can already predict that EverQuest on PS2 will also flop, seeing as it too needs a HDD.
Bottom Line: Only diehard FF fans would be buying the stuff to go online, casual gamers arent gonna spend a crapload of money just to play this game. So, this is why I think FF11 might flop here anyway, seeing as Japan and US are very different when it coems to gaming.
