OH MY GOD!!!!!! I have been waiting for this for so damn long. I played FFXI and loved it but I really hope that they learned from their mistakes in that game. Can't wait to hear about this.
Wouldn't suprise me, SE seems to kiss Microsoft's ass this generation. I am pretty sure Microsoft rushes SE to put shit on the market and that's why most of there stuff is unfinished. Good thing sony still has FFXIII and FFVXIII or they would be laggy and have major framerate problems.
Whatever though, I guess that's business and with the economy across the globe they need to do what they need to do. But there sales are going to reflect it in the end. Sony was the best thing that ever happened to SE and they fucked themselves.
I would like it to be FFXIV or even a totally new IP.

I got a boner from Marlene in FFVII: AC, Agitha in Zelda: Twilight Princess and Sunny in MGS4. I'm starting to find cute girls more sexually attractive than hot girls. You're reading the words of a pedo in the making.

I have been waiting so long, everyday, I have about 10 news feeds for Square Enix and now finally, I hear some good news, at least something to look forward to. On Wiki it says a release date of Q4 09, (Same as FF13) but I doubt it hugely, but at least now we have something -fairly- solid.
I hope they do learn a lot from the previous FFXI, I'm not fussed bout how long it takes to level, though shorten it by around 20% would be nice, just the way you got to farm is so awful, the crafting and everything, taking almost a year just to get 1 out of i think 18 jobs there are now, actually geared.
I played FF on and off for 4yrs, It was fun, but so many people felt the same that it was to stressful and time consuming, most of my friends quit, I only played cuse I had nothing better to do but now I've gone. I really am looking forward to this MMO, It's the only one I'll bother playing.
Yeh, thing is that video is really old, by next E3 it will be 4 yrs old, a lot will of changed by then, it does have 10 music and has a lot of previous armor, though I hope this time they have more animation like people actually walking around and things, They have it in FF12 where you'd see towns folks carrying stuff around and things, everyone wasn't stood there dead.
I think it's a FFXI upgrate. They've done so much to improve FFXI's gameplay and system in the past, cant imagine they would bring another new MMO which should run next to FFXI. The game needs a new graphic that's what i think. The girl in the trailer looks like an Elvaan and the city could be Jueno.

Nah it'll be a entire new MMO, as they've said it will play along, it'll be a good income source for SE. I don't think they could upgrade the new FF as easy as just making a whole new game, each expansion and upgrade would have to be redone to fit the new engine. Probably better to just start again, like building a hotel then after a decade it's better to just rebuild with better materials and structure than to try make do with old technology. In one interview they even said it's become challenging, they can't upgrade the amount of spaces you have in your inventory very easily and that they've had to gone to other routes to make it work (such as mog locker).
I mean, why running 2 MMO project at the same time? Man, that's fucking costly. :o
U have to think, a graphic upgrade is an one-time thing, even upgrading the whole engine might takes 2 years. And making a completly new MMO is a huge thing. Every single piece of the concept has to be new, the gameplay, the setting, the system, the world, the community, ect.
The 2 MMO from the same company would be in competion with each other. Why not focus on 1 MMO and get the best shizzle out of it. If the new MMO going to be like the demo trailer, oh fuck it looks fucking awesome, but what if FFXI shit on it like big mama. There's no garantee the new project will run as good as FFXI, thus FFXI does.
it isn't as costly as you would believe. many smaller companies run multiple MMO's at once and FFXI is bringing in more money than anything Square-enix has at the moment. It may split the Userbase apart but that is doubtful since there will always be people that prefer XI and others that would like this new MMO for many different reasons. It isn't like this new one will be just a improvement over XI, they will try new things that some will be sour too.
Also isn't square still running like two other MMO's in the first place? Some turn-based one and Fantasy Earth Zero?
