Final Fantasy XI has been previewed at Gameshark, based on a visit to Square Enix's US offices as part of Square's promotional buildup. Here's an excerpt:
One thing I have noticed about the game from both the media tour and participating in the beta is that Square Enix is really trying to capture the flavor of the old games and combine it with the slickness of its new titles. I think that they have really managed to present a world and characters that will appeal to both hardcore, long-time Final Fantasy fans and new players used to games like Dark Age of Camelot and EverQuest. The game is very stable; I have had not had one moment where the game has slowed down on me or kicked me out because of a technical problem or connection issue. Also, when you zone into a new area it takes very little time to load the next area. That's pretty impressive for a beta -- the last time I experienced that was when I was in the Dark Age of Camelot beta test. But I digress - after passing through this town whose name escapes me, we gathered at another area in town and waited for Lekaka to cast another portal spell.
