I thought the same thing. The wired 360 controller was pretty good though. Personally I didn't like FFXI, since the whole controlls, animation where all woody. No pvp kills any mmo in my eyes, but if SE learns from their mistakes, even without PvP I'll be very interested. Since I'm playing pvp mmo's most of the time a pve mmo might be nice for a change.

I was hoping that for their next venture online, they would go for a more futuristic sci-fi look. Esthar of FFVIII, Midgar of FFVII, Cocoon of FFXIII... imagine being in a world with cities like that, but ONLINE !
Futuristic weapons (Gun-Blade, Laser Sword, Buster Sword, Rifles, Laser Rifles, etc...) mixed with ether magic (yeah I know, ether is more like Xenosaga).
Imagine the concept of FFVIII (but without it's gameplay) in an ONLINE world. You can choose to be a SeeD mercenary for a specific Garden, an Esthar or Galbadian soldier... or a freelance mercenary. I could elaborate more, but it would take me pages.

Couldn't agree more, it's pretty dumb move on SE's part, you'd really have 2 games living next together rather then making an upgrade.
