Although this was the beta, im sure we can expect to have the same senerio reflect the release on Tuesday. Not only do us americans have the advantage of FFXI testing the waters in Japan first, but they already have the knowledge of every probelm they had 2 years ago at launch. This includes, server stuff, bugs, crashing problems, glitches, and cheats.

Also- "Japanese gamers have been playing FFXI since November of last year, when the game shipped for the PlayStation 2 in that territory. Currently, there is a subscriber base of over 280,000 users. "- rpgamer.
If it was such a failure, why would they already have 2 expantion packs out? I don't think failing software can support 2 expantion packs with out high sales figures, and subscribers.
Now, I belive that the failure your speaking of, is releated to the launch problems they did have. Although, after a few weeks of patches, and updates all was fixed. And the game took off. After they brought the game to PC in Japan, the sales increased even more.
I wouldnt call this game a failure at all.

If what you say is right, then I can't wait to play it. I'm glad it's coming out on PC because our college network won't allow PS2 Online, XBox Live, or any other console Internet functions.
