[E3 09] Final Fantasy XIV Announced as an MMORPG
One of the blockbusters to come out of Sony's presser today was the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV. This MMO will be coming to the PS3 and PC sometime in 2010, with a simultaneous worldwide launch. What do we know about the game? Not much at the moment, other than the staff: Quote:

The art style is very much like FFXI, which is a great thing, as I love that art. I'll be on day one.

I watched the trailer again, searching for a Tarutaru or something similar.
I did not find one. I can be nothing else. Square Enix, do not let me down. |

Why do they give the MMO's main series numbers? They should have called FFXI "FF Online" & this should be Online 2 or something like that. It's confusing and unnecessary.

Just because it's online doesn't mean it isn't a part of the series. FFXI has just as much story and atmosphere to offer as any other installment in the franchise, and I imagine FFXIV will offer just as much, if not more.

I am excited and worried at the same time. I loved FFXI until about lvl 40, it jsut became tedious. It will be hard but I will more than likely skip it if its the same team as XI.

I'm sure they have learned a lot from FFXI. Or maybe they haven't, I don't know.
Anyway, the video won't load for me. Will try again later. |

Eorzea doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like Vana'diel, but I'm certainly down for trying it.

DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!

It's hard for me to be excited. The market is glutted with a fuckton of MMORPGs who are at times so much alike in both gameplay and art style (oh, goodie...another MMO in which you kill rats in a cave). I won't diss the art-style or production values on this one...it is Square-Enix after all. But I'm sick and tired of every goddamn company and their grandmothers putting out MMO after MMO.
I'll be excited IF this one does something new and fresh with the genre. Or if it is free. Sorry, but monthly payments is a guaranteed deal breaker for me. I'm not shitting on this piece of news mind you, but ever since WoW came out and held the MMO field in a deathgrip, we've seen no end to the MMO diarrhea since, and very few have even tried to do anything remotely new or innovative. And the ones that did (like Tabula Rasa...yea, that game had flaws but at least it tried to do some new things) failed miserably.

The pic on the official website shows Tarutaru, Elvaan, Hume, Mithra and what looks like Galka. Even if it is really similar to XI I'll be playing on day 1.

I think it's a slight kick in the teeth for the admittedly small number of loyal 360 players (of FFXI). There's no reason for this to be exclusive unless money changed hands.

What Is This?
|
shouldn't Square release the Fabula Nervosa Crystalis or whatever before they start on the next one?
It will also be shit, as XI was a grindfest with a horrible user interface and ungodly amounts of tedium. |

And it will most definitely have a monthly fee.
