I am kind of speechless. I didnt think the FFXI was a main project for SE. I assume we were one of there "back of the line" projects. One of those projects that employees keep up and the manager really doesnt care about. It makes me feel better that a game I been playing for years is still "close to the front of the line."

Re: Yoichi Wada(SE Global President) says FFXI is still one of SE's main projects
What made you think that? Because FFXI is a huge, constant cash influx for SE? Because they make regular updates to the game? Because they release expansions on a more or less regular basis?Originally posted by Losrase View Post -

Because we haven't seen the DX9 upgrade yet...

They said they hoped to have it around the Wings release, not that they would.Comment

It's not really SE's fault that the majority of the player base doesn't have a reading comprehension level above that of an amoeba.Comment

There is no rush. If you're not willing to take your time, don't be surprised when no one wants to give you much of theirs.

Re: Yoichi Wada(SE Global President) says FFXI is still one of SE's main projects
Funny about that considering FFXI is more profitable then actually selling another "FF" console game and hope for success.
You have account in material cost, transportation, adverstising, and manufacturing when making a new game if the same developper cost.
While maintaining a server is not costly and the so call constant update are small.
Each player pays roughly 200 buck per year for the game. I am sure you won't pay more then 1 SE product per year. Even if a FF series does sell roughly 60 million copy worldwide... compare to the 750k subscribers.
SE have more then 1 MMORPG running as well. (infact SE made 4 MMORPG as far i can tell or more)-add later-Comment

Re: Yoichi Wada(SE Global President) says FFXI is still one of SE's main projects
If FFXI isn't a main project for SE, that could be viewed as good news as well. Look at what FFXI is today. If SE could come up with this as merely a side project, imagine what they could do it got the attention that a "main project" would.Lyonheart

Re: Yoichi Wada(SE Global President) says FFXI is still one of SE's main projects
Warm fuzzies all around!
It's too bad the dev team didn't really get to do with Vana'diel as they'd originally intended.
I'm still holding out for a next-gen FFXI. I doubt it'll ever happen but it's fun to dream.
EDIT:SE just made my day ^^bDo you feel that the recent price cuts have significantly improved PS3's positioning in the market?
I am expecting an improvement. But I personally feel the price is quite low as it is. My mobile phone is actually more expensive than a PS3, but nobody thinks that's too expensive.Last edited by Malacite; 01-16-2008, 05:21 PM.Comment

If this is their main project I'd really hate to see their other projects.

Re: Yoichi Wada(SE Global President) says FFXI is still one of SE's main projects
I think it took over a year after FFXI went live before it became operationally in black ink. All the years before that, pure bleeding on the financial terms.
Given that kind of investment, it'd be hard to believe Square-Enix would set it aside casually and think of it as a side project, especially when the subscription revenue is still holding steady.Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
leaving no trace in the water.
