I did not put the whole set of info here, since I am supposed to be doing work right now. I think that this will give you just enough info to satisfy or cause you to visit the site yourself.
I have added my ideas of what the hell they might be talking about where appropriate. I have also added the Q: and A: so as to distinguish the questions from the answers (and so I don't have to work out a nice style for the stylesheet). Otherwise the text is as I find it.
Q:It is 'the 'FF XI ' ) with some kind of game of ??????????? cXi '(or less?
A:' FF XI ', it is the online RPG where it can participate the prayer of crowd simultaneously.
Well I think it should be apparent that this statement means that FFXI will be a MUD. That's a MMOG/MMORPG for you executives out there.
Q:The online RPG it probably is what?
A:The online RPG, connecting to the network circuit, is the RPG which it enjoys. In the overhead
world with respect to network, it becomes with character = prayer itself. Former RPG similar and the character grow
in the world, keep clearing the event. But it means what compared to feature thing uniting the prayer and the party
which are not recognized, venturing together, being possible to share thrill and impression.
For some reason the translation uses the word "prayer" where it seems it should use "player". This answer also seems to indicate that FFXI will be like the more familiar RPG, except that you would "become" your character and interact with other people. Seems pretty straightforward and what one would expect from an online Final Fantasy.
Q:' FF XI & as for the equipment and material which is necessary in order to play?
A:
- " PlayStation 2 " analog controller of substance and attachment
(DUALSHOCK 2)
- " PlayStation 2 " private hard disk drive unit
- " PlayStation 2 " private memory card (8MB)
(It becomes necessary to the case of the format of HDD unit)
Analog circuit as for customer of utilization,
- From each company " PlayStation 2 " of sale corresponding communication equipment
Corresponding option
You can use the keyboard and the HUB which are conformed to USB standard.
Description above and as for contents of corresponding option without notice there are times when it is modified.
You can view details 'from FF XI 'beta edition proposal of the menu, please refer to " concerning necessary environment and the peripheral device ".
Get all that? Being your standard FAQ for AOL-users, it lets you know that you need a PS2 controller and memory card. It also requires the PS2 HDD, which I have not seen for sale, but of course I have not been looking. It will run on a dial-up; have fun getting a PS2 modem. The option part seems to indicate that you can use USB devices, particularly a keyboard, but maybe you can use other USB devices. I'm curious about ethernet support, since I'd rather not play over analog. Looks like I will have to start saving up for the hardware to play this one.
Q:' FF XI 'as for the network environment which is necessary in order to play?
A:The analog circuit, it corresponds to many environment such as Integratted Services Digital Network, ADSL and FTTH.
You can view details, 'from FF XI 'beta edition proposal of the menu, please refer to " concerning necessary
environment and the peripheral device ".
Uh, is that a yes to digital circuits?
Q:In addition 'FF XI 'as for those which are necessary in order to play?
A:' FF XI ', it is one of the game which network service " PlayOnline " of this corporation offers with compensation.
Because of that, in order ' FF XI 'to play, first to it is necessary to be admitted ", the PlayOnline ".
Monthly subscription to PlayOnline required, of course. I am sort of surprised it won't be Station, but that could easily change.
Q:The point which is different from the present FF series (it becomes), some kind of place such as story
characteristic?
A:As for the ??????????????? because of contents and the system which are different every work completely, it is not
possible to compare unconditionally. Simply, now as for the work while taking the communication of the many and
unspecified persons prayer via network, uniting the party together, you say it fights with the enemy, it becomes
the series first online game. It assumed with the former online game it is difficult, by introducing story which
" the ??????????? it is thought whether it reaches final fan ? Gee only of completely new online game, seems "
characteristic. By all means expectation.
I think that means "it will be different but we don't know how".
Other than place t Shaun 2 being hard, is there the schedule which is sold?
A:Sale day is undecided, but sale of PC edition is planned.
Q:If you are not admitted to " the PlayOnline ", 'FF XI 'being not to be able to play, it does?
A:It is. If you are not admitted to " the PlayOnline ", 'FF XI 'it cannot play.
I assumed this much, but I am putting this here solely for comedic value. The lack of pronouns that indicate the subjects of Japanese sentences provides some of my favorite translations. I am pretty sure that "place t Shaun" is "PlayStation" and "being hard" is perhaps the hard drive or maybe just "hardware".
If you have an afternoon to kill and want to do some translations yourself, Babel Fish can help you.
