MMORPG Screenshot! (old screenshot)

[jenova_9]

either way I don't mind what they call it. but it's definitely a Final Fantasy that has some artistic similiarities to FFXI (except the graphics are like 1.5 times better, and I don't think it's even in alpha stage yet.)



here's what is known:

In August 2005, Square Enix announced they had begun working on a new MMORPG, but neither confirmed nor denied that it is a sequel to Final Fantasy XI, or that it is Final Fantasy-related.

Hiromichi Tanaka, producer of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XI, stated in April 2006 that developers are working to make "project Rapture" a worldwide release.

He announced in February 2007 that the game was being developed for the Xbox 360 and for personal computers running the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. He also stated that it might also be brought to the PlayStation 3.

Square Enix announced at GDC 2008 that the new MMO will indeed target the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows operating system, and hinted that Mac and Linux clients are not out of question. The game will utilize the Square Enix created graphics engine called Crystal Tools. "


we might not see this released until 2010 (since 2009 is the year of FFXIII.), but I think they might have a trailer of it later in 2009, since there have been reports of more news about
this mmorpg on its way, and they have released confirmation each year that the project is making progress. and it's been in the making for almost 5 years now.

This is only about four or five years old.

Man I remember back then I was hoping for this to be the begining of the DX9 upgrade and maybe even an actual graphics/models upgrade for XI.

Good times.

Re: MMORPG Screenshot! (old screenshot)

If I remember correctly, the picture, and the video that went a long with it, was just a demo with the purpose of testing their new engine or something along those lines.

Imagine what? What a new MMO from SE might look like? Or what FFXI might look like if they did a total revamp of the current graphics? Something they have said they wouldn't do.

Caspian: I think Jenova means what a new SE MMO would look like.

So apparently they are going to release information about it sometime early this year. They did say it wouldn't replace FFXI, it'd run along side it; not sure what that means. You go to other forums, and you still get the occasional "They need offline mode and no monthly fee's" crap from morons. ><; I thought we were past that shit.

A thread was started about a recent blurb in EGM about SE's next MMO:

I'd buy SE's new MMO the second I saw it on the market. Their games have never failed to entertain me (with the exception of XII after having to farm for levels).

Welcome to the internet. It will never end. Some people absolutely refuse to pay monthly fees for games and thats fine, but they want their cake and to eat it, too.

On the topic of offline modes and no fees, the posts are usually made by kids, or even teens that can't get their parents to pay for the online fees for them. You also occasionally get the people who can spend $50~ a month on smokes, but refuses to spend $15 a month on a game because it's "too expensive."

On the topic of cake, why the hell would I get a cake and not eat it? I get what the saying is.. getting at, but if I have a cake, I'm damn well going to eat it.

Its like saying you can't have it both ways.
