GameSpy has posted its preview of Final Fantasy XI, Square-Enix upcoming US version of their hit massively multiplayer role-playing game. The preview is based on playing a beta PC version of the game. The PC version of Final Fantasy XI should be available in October. Here is a taster:
Arriving on PC and PlayStation 2, Final Fantasy XI will also be the first MMORPG to let players play with people on other platforms. The PC version of the game is in every way superior to the PS2 version, unless you simply don't enjoy playing games on your PC or don't have the machine to play it. As the game was originally designed for the PS2, the PS2 version has slicker controls, but this can be easily remedied on the PC by investing in a good gamepad or PS2 controller adapter, giving you the ease of use of the PS2's controls and better keyboard access. The two versions of the game also differ graphically by quite a bit. The PS2 version has richer colors, but runs at a pretty low resolution and a steady 15 frames per second, losing a lot of the excellent finer details. The PC version, on the other hand, can be run in a variety of resolutions and features some graphical details for higher-end video cards, such as bump-mapping on canyon walls.
