I think this is the coming of a New MMO genre.

My guess is FFXIV is going to work like the following:

FFXIV can be cast either in the future OR a parallel world OR even the past (long forgotten past?).

While SE can keep FFXI running and still getting their profit by making a interlink on their server with the FFXIV server by

giving benefit to each other.


If FFXIV works like the future, then anything you did in FFXI can affect the FFXIV (maybe increase character stats being part of the blood line of your FFXI character?) or maybe provide some items or such.

Maybe FFXI's world can change FFXIV world as well!

I could see how SE make more money like this, considering it will keep FFXI active because new FFXIV players will join FFXI world just to play some part of it. While many players who playing FFXI will keep 2 account now.

at a later stage, SE can even make character transfer over FFXIV's population reach certain level to further pursue FFXI player to join.

It'll be interesting to see what this will be about.

As for me, given that it looks like all the races from FFXI are present I'm hoping that it is like a graphical upgrade + new continent with access to the olde FFXI areas. That way you don't remove alot of the FFXI playerbase while giving the people who wanted a graphics upgrade what they wanted.

I would like some changes, but I honestly like the battle system that we have in place today. I guess yeah all we can do is hope for the best at this point.

I seriously doubt SE needs to do much.

FFXI +1 with waaay more face types, character customizable features, and next-gen graphics (without gear blinking and the needless travel/NM/crappy-skillup-rate time sinks.) and players will be very happy.

...Or at least I will be. Specially if it's more limited-time-to-play friendly.


Even if it's the same level/skill grinding bussiness, that's also part of XI's charm.

But enough theories/wishes, let's see what the game will be really about.

Hahaha... glad you made note of those things, and even admit you will be there regardless makes me feel good that most people I know will continue on to this new one. However, like the rest I am waiting for game play, and other mechanics to see what SE put into this one. Although I know I will be there, no matter what. Just went I lost hope in SE, they go and suprise me. Another, however, and my friends will laugh, but i knew it was an almost revamp of the game we play today hahaah... Bunny FTW sort of

Oh wow that trailer is pure win! Gotta say looks like we gonna have the same, or at least very similar to the ones we currently have in FFXI.

I have to build a new computer, but I had that coming for a while. And just like you I would rather play on PC than console/ however, if someone gave me a PS3 haha you know that story. ^^

Oh! On a side note, I guess I can stop doing rank missions on my second character, and trying to get PM's done which no one helps out with these days.

FINAL FANTASY XIV

I'll hold my judgment about playing until we know more. Nice that it is still coming to PC.

I just made some food and now I'm too excited to eat it dammit!

Although, I do wonder on the effect it'll have on FFXI. Mass exodus or a slow drip-drip of subscriptions?

Shoot as soon as I can play, I will. The japanese players get the upper hand to often when it comes to these releases, even if this will be simultaneous launch. On another note the trailer looks sexy ^^
