Greetings once again from the land where democracy is funny!
Today, I talk about content available only to those with wi-fi. More accurately, I bitch about it.
Now, we have reasonably fast internet connections, but it turns out that either
a- My mother is exceptionally well-informed and knows that wireless sucks shit here, or
b- My mother's talking out of her ass and doesnt want another bill on her hands.
Now this would all be well and good. I pick up my DS, start playing FFIII. It's all good, I suck at it, so I check an online guide. There's a guide there to getting the best job in the game. Sadly, it involves having 6 or more friends.
I don't even have 6 friends in real life.
None of them have a DS.
I don't have wi-fi.
Shitsux.
Now, online achievements on my 360, I can understand, as it unlocks nothing but Gamerpoinits, which you need internet to spend, making it a self-defeating loop trying to collect them offline.
I'm also fine with online-only weaponry(weaponry that can only be used online, like the Banshee in Halo:CE). No problem. It would break the balance in singleplayer.
But unlocking singleplayer content online?
No.

That sucks.  I would help you out if I had a DS or liked JRPG's.

Heh. Must not have typed clearly. I dont have internet for the DS, or the 360.

I completely understand where you're coming from. I too own a DS with FFIII but can't get online with it, so I'm also missing out on a lot of content (hidden bosses, ultimate weapons, etc.). When a single player game punishes you for not being able to take advantage of multiplayer-based functions, something's wrong. Especially if it's a game like FFIII which is a wholly single player experience from beginning to end. It's annoying and somewhat cheapens the enjoyable experience of the game. Thankfully, not too many games are like this.

If a game dampens your experience because you don't have online, that's just wrong :(

Good luck with that man. I agree wholeheartedly that it does suck.

The same thing can be said for pre-order bonuses and things like the Battlefield: Bad Company Sniper Rifle, for example. It's a really stupid move on developer's parts.

Dam sucks man

I don't have six friends in real life either. That is lame that they made it only available playing with 6 people. :/

Sucks you don't have online, maybe someday.
