DeMMORPG: Final Fantasy: Online - Day One - Final Chapter

 

Now understand, this short little ditty is coming from a huge fan of the Final Fantasy series.  I have rarely been disappointed by ANYTHING Square has released in the past.  The other night while looking for Mortal Combat: Deception for Infected, I noticed a $1.99 30 day trial of Final Fantasy: Online.  I had never played it before, I figured hell, why not, it's only 2 bucks.  I eagerly install, and wait another 2 hours for patching.  As you already know, patching right after installing seriously gets under my skin… and by "gets under my skin" I mean, makes me want to beat a panda to death. After taking a shower, smoking a lot of cigarettes, and drinking copious amounts of wine, the install finally finishes, and I am on my excited little way…

The registration process was nice and easy, I prefer the application level account registration instead of the website version, always have.  The play online view was interesting to look at while everything was loading up, which was a plus.  Seems simple, but hey, I am entertained easily by stupid shit… just look at the reviews I do of human beings, that says it all right there.  Annoying as all hell that they provide your login id for you, which happens to be a bunch of random characters from Satan's ass… but I could get past that.  Now is the moment of truth, my first log in…

I was pleased to hear the game music, it was very Final Fantasy-esc, reminded me of the old days.  The menu system as well… hell I expect Sepheroth to jump out at any second it was reminding me so much of FF7.[...]
