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. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/684/684414p1.html | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-31-2006, 11:04 AM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Belgium, Europe Posts: 53 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 1,283 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 1,283 Donate | Re: New SE MMORPG in the works Oh YES!

I was really disappointed not to see Front Mission: Online, and Im not sure if we're getting Fantasy Earth or not- but the game didnt appeal to me much. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-31-2006, 11:14 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Achiever Keeper of Knowledge Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Queens, NY Posts: 2,616 Style: Light - Version 4 My Mood: Thanks: 414 Thanked 236x in 137 Posts Gil: 17,794 Bank: 45,688 Total Gil: 63,483 Donate | Re: New SE MMORPG in the works Front Mission Online is in alpha for NA, it's simply a matter of the Devs having some problems. (Friend of mine in the Alpha told me this) Fantasy Earth will be NA as well, eventually, but will have seperate servers for NA and JP and EU if it comes out across the 3 regions.
Fantasy Earth is the pick-up and play MMORPG from SE, possibly their answer to WoW, but since FFXI is a better game, they don't need an answer. FE is more likely just a simple MMORPG for those that can't enjoy FFXI due to the time sinks and the length.

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. | Originally Posted by WishMaster3K | | The vagina is a magical object. | | Originally Posted by Balfree | | AND, running the game at 2024x2024 resolution, with forced AA and AF... o boy, you can even see that galka's pubes. | Originally Posted by Malevolent | | But what i learned is that devout catholics CANNOT and WILL NOT take a friggin joke.

If it's set up with a primary focus on PvP it doesn't really matter how shallow or easy the PvE game is. If the PvP is good then the main thing stopping it from competing with WoW is the cutesy art.

A MMORPG of FFVII would be amazing but wouldn't the world be kinda small and that would be hard for SE since it already has a story line. A few Story lines actually, FFVII-Advent Children, Drige of Cerberus, Before Crisis. But who knows what is in store for FF Players (SE of course)  Summoners....There might be a lot but one will always be better than the others.

This is the game xbox players have been waiting for (ffxi). However, now we're learning that our characters might be wiped at the end of the beta. This might be common knowledge to most of you, but to us first time MMO players this news was devastating! SE or PlayOnline never issued such a disclaimer.
Now I hear that SE is planning on putting another FF MMORPG out there? Tell me why I should buy retail ver FFXI in April? Xbox360 is also getting Vanguard and Huxley which both look to be great MMO's. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love FFXI and will still probably buy retail even if my character gets killed. I guess my question is this.....how soon for the next FFMMORPG and for how long will SE continue to support FFXI?

I dont think they are reffering to the the FFVII tech demo they showed honestly, pretty sure they are talking about the tech demo they showed when they announced FFXI was coming out for the 360. Remember that was the one with the city on the water and the people in FFXI-esque clothing walking around. They said something about seeing the future like that or something.
Anyway will be neat to see what they end up with.  I seek the history of this world, Vana'diel. All of its legends, all of its secrets await me.
My search will continue until I know the truth. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 01-31-2006, 04:58 PM | #13 (permalink) | | Senior Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 1,128 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 14 Thanked 11x in 11 Posts Gil: 1,914 Bank: 124,098 Total Gil: 126,012 Donate | Re: New SE MMORPG in the works | Originally Posted by Markham | Hi, I'm Markham, a Lvl 21 WAR 8 WHM and I play on the Hydra (360 beta) server.

A new MMORPG can take 5 or more years from concept to retail. Huxley is a FPS and Vanguard:SoH is confirmed to not be in the works for the 360. BLM 75 | RDM 37 | WHM 42 | SCH 56 | BST 22
