New SE MMORPG in the works

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

"Chrono: Twilight of Time" coming to Windows, Mac, Linux, PS3, and Wii in 2007.






Man can wish can't he >.>

That's one heck of a dream... Take out Wii and maybe use XBox 360 and it might be better, then again with XBox 360's specs take it out too and it's even better. Games especially if they go to consoles are limited to the weakest console.

Spec wise Wii is the weakest console, then XBox 360, then PS3, and of course which ever future next-gen Computer Systems that are developed being the most powerful.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

LOL How ironic! The tech demo is the cg demo of FF7 and about 3 weeks ago my son and I were discussing the future of FFXI. One of the things I said to him was that there was going to be another MMO of a FF game. Then I told him that the smart thing for them would be to make a MMO of FF7 because of the high fan base for the game. This really isn't a huge surprise I don't think.

I don't think that demo appeals to this game though o.O

Yes, SweetKitty it was established after my post many times that the tech demo in question is not that tech demo.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

I think it would be great if they would pretty much re-create the entire world, better Graphics, more jobs, much larger world, quests, etc.... and allow us to import our old character/gear/etc over from XI.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

I'd like an FFXI-2 with graphics approximate to that demo. It'd probably be in the vein of EQ2 and WoW though, aiming primarily to correct the mistakes made in the previous generation of MMO and in the process losing much of what made the originals appealing to begin with. If it weren't, and it were similar to the original game, there would be a problem with getting players to leave their established characters behind to play what is nearly the same game with more flash.

Yeah, I'm never optimistic.

A new SE MMORPG?



Sounds.... interesting...

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

The idea of SE making a new MMO sounds really dumb to me honestly. FFXI players have enough going for them in Vana'diel. If they came out with a new MMO right now it wouldn't be a good marketing move. Think about it. You have two MMOs on the market. Both are in-depth games and can take an eternity to get anything worthwhile accomplished. Players don't usually play two MMOs like that at once unless they really have nothing going for them, I.e. a life. So what would happen? One of the MMOs would totally be abandoned, so you have a game on the market making no money and another making a good profit. A new MMO would drive SE into debt.

To sum it up. FFXI: Spirits within.

But I saw the tech demos for that one guy put up. They would make a great expansion, I think. But a new MMO? I really don't think so. Just a rumor, that's all there is to it.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

Ummmm...it's not a rumor. From the very first post in the thread:

"Hiromichi Tanaka, Square Enix
The producer of Final Fantasy XI revealed that development is getting into gear on Square Enix's next-generation massively-multiplayer-online RPG, the one stemming from the tech demo that Square Enix showed at last year's E3. Currently, the development staff is working on the final direction of the game, with only a few areas having taken form. As a result, Tanaka lists development at "zero percent," but adds that basic preparations are in done. He won't comment on a release date.

The only thing is I'm confused. I've heard that the tech demo was FFXIII and I've heard that its the next MMO as stated above. So is FFXIII the next FF MMO? Or did someone get their lines crossed somewhere?

But in the end, yes they are working on another MMO. They also have Fantasy Earth.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

Well, I firmly believe that it is a rumor. It was posted by IGN. I will continue to believe it is a rumor until SE itself says they are working on it. I went and checked SE to see if there was anything about, but I saw nothing.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

Just because you have multiple game formats out, does not mean that your company will go into debt either. That's just the paranoia of 'OMG! I'd have to give up my character!' seeping in. I hate to compare, but look at SOE. They are running 5+ MMOs, 3 of which (EQ, EQ2, and Planetside) make significant profits. I'd love to see SE come out with a new MMO that has a different take on the FF universe. Perhaps a more technilogical bent.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

Xbox360 is also getting Vanguard...

Hate to break it to you but Vanguard is going to be pc only and I'm overjoyed that is the case. Crippling your game's performance, graphical capabilities, and progression by shackling it to an inferior platform is a no brainer from the start.

Re: New SE MMORPG in the works

Truer words have never been spoken.
FFXI should've been PC-only... it could've been so much better. =(
