Square has begun taking applications for the Final Fantasy XI PC Beta test which starts on June 18 in Japan. The minimum specs are: Win 98, PIII 800 MHz, 128 MB RAM, a GeForce card and 4.5 GB of hard drive space, while the recommended specs include a 64 MB video card and a Pentium 4. The 4.5 GB is used for game data, the PlayOnline software and the ever popular, Tetramaster. The PC version will be fully compatible with the PlayStation2 version allowing people on either system to play together. Be warned that the links go to Japanese web sites.

Isn't this game supposed to auto-translate? I remember reading that when they first announced FFXI would be an mmorpg. The person who was quoted said it was going to be some huge online society, not limited to just the game, and this translation technology would make it not matter what language you spoke(typed), everyone could understand you. I DISTINCTLY remember this. I beleive I read it in Next Gen.
