		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Square Enix has been busily drumming up as much interest in the gaming media as money can buy.&quot;

Does Sankaku count as gaming media? They do tend to cover Final Fantasy games. :)

Really, this all looks pretty mediocre. At least, not what I&#039;d call &quot;quite spectacular&quot;. From the perspective of someone who didn&#039;t play the original version, the screenshots don&#039;t appear to show anything particularly new or interesting.

Unless they&#039;ve completely changed the gameplay mechanics, it will likely be just another MMO grindfest. I have little doubt that it will be improved over what it was before, but I question whether it will manage to be anything more than &#039;decent&#039;. At a time when many other MMOs have gone to a free-to-play model, it might be hard to convince people to pay a monthly subscription fee for something that&#039;s not any better than what they could be playing for free. The Final Fantasy name can only go so far.]]></description>

Their version of &quot;level of detail&quot; was a solid, visible line beyond which all textures looked like garbage.

		<description><![CDATA[Doesn&#039;t really matter. They had the gall to shelf out and maintain one of the most ridiculous MMOs in recent history for months and they bitterly admitted their incompetence by &quot;graciously allowing&quot; players to play for free. To be honest, it should have been them paying us money to play, not the other way around.

And now, after months of antagonizing core fans and casual players they want to stick to the subscription model because &quot;they want to keep their promises&quot;. How fucking generous of them. Makes me want to award them a Soiled ChocoBOO Statuette +1 with a heartfelt &quot;go fuck yourselves&quot; on top.

Whatever. After all this monkey business, this game should have been B2P at worst. That&#039;s buying a disc-based/digital copy and playing forever, for all the pedestrians.]]></description>
