PS2: Online Gaming (Final Fantasy XI, etc.)

[naujtc]

I've heard there's a PC and PS2 version of this. I've also heard you need a credit card to play this game. My question is, can I play this game here in the Philippines? I also saw in the Datablitz website that they are selling the complete pack with all the expansions, my other question is, can I trust Datablitz that when I buy the game, I'll have an authentic PlayOnline ID and registration code? Thanks to those that gave time to reply.

Baka you are referring to FF:XI kasi MMORPG siya. I don't know if you have to pay to play maybe this link can help....

oops sorry sa sobrang letter I. hehe Yeah, I'm talking about FFXI the MMO hehehe

I've edited the thread title into FFXI.

Kung open pa yung server nung game, makakapag-laro ka online. Dapat walang modchip yung console mo. About creadit card, dunno. Alam ko free ang mga OL gaming ng PS2 parang PS3.

^ May monthly payment itong FFXI pafs di tulad ng ibang online PS2 games. Di ko lang matandaan kung pano ang bayad.

Sir, what do you mean by modchip?

[squall_leonhart]

^^ means hindi po modded (or "modified"??) yung ps2 mo, also means na hindi ka dapat makakapagLaro ng P*R*T*D games

Correct. Since hindi modified, malalaro mo lang ay yung kaparehong region ng PS2 console mo.

Meaning, JAP PS2 = JAP games, US PS2 = US games, etc.

$12 a month

I believe that Datablitz has this game. I checked their side and they say they have it. I just don't know if they sell authentic copies. Do they? Never been to Datablitz eh.

[agent_rhy]

I think genuine naman lahat ng games sa Datablitz.

[naujtc]

Has anyone here bought game titles from Datablitz? Do their cds come in boxes? Because I believe that if I buy the FFXI cd from them, it should come in a box with a manual coz that's how I'm gonna be able to create my own FFXI account.

Legitimate sila nagbebenta ng original copies of the game/software, ang problema lang sa Datablitz is that overpriced sila magbenta ng games. At wala naman sila masyado competitors on a Nationwide scale kaya they are able to do that.

I think you're asking for the FFXI HDD pack. I doubt they have it. What I know that they do have are the FFXI expansions. As for the PC or Xbox 360 versions, sorry. I have no idea.

Here's the FFXI HDD pack.

How overpriced?!

hi, on what platform do u intend to play the game?
1. for ps2, you need a U.S version PS2, the old model which is thick, a U.S. ver network adaptor and a US ver Hard Disk Drive, the original game disk ( playonline and FFXI game disk) plus the expansions if you want to play it with the current game version, a DSL internet connection . plus a valid Credit Card for the monthly payment.
2, for PS3, a U S ver PS3 ( the game requires a 10 GB space), the game disc/s for installation, a downlaoad patch from sonyonline in order to play the game on PS3( this patch will automaticaaly create a 10 GB space partition for the game) , credit card and DSL internet connection.

Ay di pala pwede Asian PS3?

[Sandorian_Elf]

If PS3 asian version can run US ver PS2 games, TEXT SPEAK VIOLATION pede. Pero, sa pag kakaalam ko po eh, PS3 games ang alang region lock. U.S. ver PS2 game po ang FFXI kaya dapat eh PS3 console na pede ang US ver PS2 game.

Well, I intend to play it on the PS2 and on a PC (2 different houses). Thing is, I would like to test if we can connect to their servers. I have tried contacting support of playonline and they said that "in theory, yes. But since the Philippines is a non PAL region, we can't offer any support." Meaning, I can try and purchase the game for god knows how overpriced then try and see if I can connect. If I can, well, good. If I can't, that's money down the drain. There's also 14 day trial that is said to be available for the PC though. Tried downloading it but seems like our region is blocked because it says it's only available in North America and selected PAL regions.

@ naujtc
yes sir, you can connect to its server whether you play a US ver, a JAP ver or EURO ver , wheteher PC, PS2, PS3, or Xbox 360 since all its servers are in Japan.
tried and tested na sir ang connection and its here in Pinas.
