Final Fantasy XIV

Wraith · 06-02-2009, 04:02 PM

A little more info about Square-Enix's new MMORPG, coming in 2010.

From Eurogamer:

Quote:

Update: As one probably should have expected (sorry), FFXIV Online is due out for PS3 and PC, not just PS3 - and will receive a "simultaneous global release with language support in Japanese, English, French and German". It's got FFIX and XI's director, Nobuaki Komoto, FFXII's art director and musician Nobuo Uematsu on it, too.

Definitely gonna give this one a shot.

Suave Peanut · 06-02-2009, 04:07 PM

This will be the first MMO I pick up at launch. Even on FFXI, LotRO, and WoW I waited a few months.

Amano logo (Joystiq)

There had better be Tarutaru, damn it.

Well I see one in the logo design, so chances are pretty good! (To the right of the Galka's hand there.)

Most likely a day 1 purchase for me unless it gets some incredibly bad press before launch. Even then it'd still be considered.

Looks like all the FFXI races are there.

Best copy I could find:

Yep, I'll be getting this one day one as well. Looks like we'll have a nice group interested in it here....I smell a LS.

pomeroy · 06-02-2009, 04:33 PM

Here's hoping they minimize the death penalty.

Heh, its Squeenix, the death penalty can only get more expansive with each installation.

Wraith · 06-02-2009, 04:35 PM

And the front page news announcement just went up a few minutes ago.

Mashidar · 06-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Day one purchase as well. Odds are two copies one for the ps3 and one for the pc so my wife and I can play together.

The only thing I hope is that it has a more kind leveling system to solo/casual players. What killed FFXI for me was really the fact that you could only solo really as one class and if you wanted to really level you had to find a group and invest a lot of time into the process.

Other than that, I loved every other aspect of the game.

I've never played an MMO. You guys are making it very tempting...damn you all...

The page won't load for me, but that made my day.

Yeah it's getting hammered, the site has a big art piece of a scene in a bar/inn common room. Has all of the races sitting around eating/having fun and such. Pretty cool and worth it to have another look once the intial wave dies down.

I just got it to load, and yep, they're all there. Funny thing, though, the Galka in the trailer had no tail. o.O

Anyway, Allakhazam already has a forum up for speculation and whatnot. When the hell did they start calling themselves simply ZAM? That sounds completely retarded.

Maybe they lost their Khazam keys.

Oh, so tempting. Damn you Squeenix.
