Yes! I also can't wait to see the FMV in FFIX. I want to see the shots of the
airships! They're gonna be classic FFIV type airships (from what I've heard)!
Woohoo!! :)

I'm kinda nervous about that, as I have yet to see a good story line in a
Multiplayer game. At least FFXI will be game-play driven and not story driven.
;) However, FFX will have multiplayer elements...

I wish I had it. It is on my List, though. As well as both Xenogears
Soundtracks, the miscellaneous FF cds I don't have, etc., etc. :)

Yeah, I know which one you're thinking of (Macross VFX-2 I believe), but I
believe Bandai delayed the release of it "indefinitely". :(

Ah, good. :) Somewhat short, but what it lacks in quantity, it more than
makes up in quality. :) The CD is also good, especially the Boat Song. :)

Its old tech. Us Americans aren't supposed to like old tech... :P We only
like flashy 3D graphics...

Here is AnimeNation's news article about the Japanese PSX2 Release:
7,000+ stores in Japan began selling Sony Computer Entertainment's Playstation
2 game console Saturday at 7 AM. In the Akihabara "electronics" district of
Tokyo, hundreds were in line to pick the system up, waiting from overnight to
as early as Thursday. Most retailers reportedly sold out of the unit in the
first few hours. Several theft and crime-related incidents have been reported
in the wake of the release. Among it's many features, the Playstation 2
includes 128-bit graphics and DVD Playback.
Woohoo!! :)
