My main concern is that if they DO officially release it here that it will be at a later date. i wanna get straight into the action, as i am already in a developing linkshell.

here is our forum..
http://twunga.blaman.net/Magitek/forum/
i suggest u two aussies sign up for membership cos then we can all play together, it would be good to see some australian ppl in the game, would feel alot more local to me.

ausgun and Petrifyus if u are interested in signing up.
email me at : quazrocks@hotmail.com
or add me on msn messenger

p.s good luck with the gamesmarket thing ausgunblade i am keen to hear of the results.

G'day

Been playing it for almost a year now, since DEC last year. Went over to Japan for holidays and got the Jap version.

I am sure there are a few other ozzies playing it as well, have a look at the citizen directorys in the ingame talk part of the forums.

If you are interested in screen caps click on my sig or go to www.users.on.net/hoiquai:spin:

Cheers

hoiquai, hows the internode connection from here to japan?

[hoiquai]

Lag free and smooth as a babies bottom but then it could be cuz FFXI has such good netcode that lag is almost nonexistant, unlike other games i can think of :p

You do get the occasional outage which is that's telstra's fault and as all ISP have to go thru telstra anyway, it is unavoidable.:mad:

goddame squaresoft! The USA release FFXI will need a N.A address to register and open an account. So if any of yous are going to importing the game from the NA release, remember to grab a mate's address from the US of A.
edit: my l337 copy and paste skills in action from the email:
Hello Jon,

Thank you for your interest in the Play Online, FINAL FANTASY XI, and Tetra Master Public Beta Test.

Unfortunately the billing address when registering will have to be a valid United States or Canada billing address when the game launches in the US. You will be unable to register without one.

If you have any further questions then please feel free to reply.

Subject: FFXI USA release

Dear Square-Enix,

I am importing the US copy of FFXI(windows) when its release to be used/played in Australia, can you let me know if i would encounter any problems like we have had in the jpn version as we had to come up with japan address to create an account to used with it. Will we be encountering any these issues again on the USA release?

[Twunga]

Dam!!! sometimes it sukz living on this island! lol. not that i hate australia,
But i have three US mates, and one canadian one who would most likely take the address down for me.

but does this mean that i am gonna have to send the US address carrier money to pay for the billz?

[Petrifyus]

i kind of assumed that we would need US addresses to register but im sure there would be some americans on this site willing to lend us their address just for the registration :angel: :angel: :angel:

and yeh i might as well join your linkshell

[Twunga]
