Are you the guy who sucks off Square Enix's teet every night at the very mention of anything Final Fantasy? Or do I have you confused with this guy:

Are You the guy who has to poopoo anything Final fantasy because it's all conformists and way too mainstream for your tear drenched ass or do I have you confused with this guy?

Troll? LOL...there's nothing more I need to say. Arguing with fanboys, let alone FF fanboys, is about as pointless as Rosie O'Donnell having a vagina.

I wanna say that Final Fantasy and MMORPG put together is a oxymoron...But..Final Fantasy never ends anyway.

I used to play WoW, then I went on an exchange program to the US and my host sister played FFXI and made me play it (on the 360).
It felt clunky, looked awful and was boring as hell.
That's just me though :x

Its not really. But you would think that Final Fantasy would finnaly end at some point. It really doesnt...So anyway...Final Fantasy + MMO is The Neverending Story.

Why would you hire Gamemasters (People who uphold the rules) to govern your own employees. Thats like hiring cops in a top made up entirely of cops. Kinda dumb really.

Also I just check this link out and theres even more stuff look like they are in the process of doing translations. I have a feeling this rumor is right. There going to need people to double check all the dialogue and everything else. Semptember is about roughly the time to get most of the translations done.

I might consider trying to beta-test FFXIV. After four years of FFXI, and looking for something new to try, why not? I've always wanted to beta-test something, and 1vs100 just isn't cutting it.

Well, you see there's two types of beta testers in this world. The type of beta testing we're all used to, is the fun type. You play the game and test out the servers for the company and if you should happen to notice a glitch, you report it. Then there's the workhorse tester. They spend their time with the game not only doing that, but actually run through the game performing a lot of instances of "what happens when i do this" tests, and "will this work?" experiments. Sometimes, its not very fun.

So how much is this going to cost us, FF11 was £11 plus £1 more for each character, and this one?

Timeframe sounds about right.

Late next month they're putting probably the 2nd-final major update to FF11 by adding the last additional area to the Wings of the Goddess expansion (Xarcabard[S]); missions will probably come to a close by the end of the year. I wish for the best of things to happen with FF14, but alongside Tanaka on the project is the lead producer for Chains of Promathia... anyone playing/used to play FF11 should know what that could mean.

Why is everyone saying this game won't work, it's going to be rubbish, it'll be broken just like XI, etc;

Have I missed something or am I going to be able to play a very well made MMO on my PS3, for free (micro transactions)?

It may not be free, be aware of that. PS3 can carry out subscription services, ie Qore, so it can use subs for FFXIV( which it would be entirely upto S-E)
Personally I'd prefer an MMO to be subs than freemium, because at least everyone is on a level playing field, where as freemium means whoever has the most real cash has the best stuff in game.

Final Fantasy XI was TERRIBLE. It's almost like an exercise simulator, considering you spend nearly 75% of your time searching for something to kill, or people to kill things with. Also, the enemy designs sucked ass.

Have you played in the last year? Finding a party is a snap with the Level Sync system. And you don't have to "search" for something to kill because that something is alway Colibri.

i hope it's for PS3 also , not just for the PC . They didn't say it's for PC , they didn't say if there is a damn beta but i think if they come up with a beta it will be just for PC . hope it's cross platform too .

I have high hopes for FFXIV since during the last couple of months SE has been doing a great job for appealing a more "casual" market in FFXI. Sure, some people may be hardcore, but I like my games fun. I'm sure they know they'll get the perfect formula.

I'll be there if this is true. Quit FFXI last year after playing since UK release so I'm looking forward to a new adventure. FFXI was my real MMO after trying everything else thanks to a compelling story and flexible job system, as well as characters who you become a part of and which were not as throw-away as other MMOs.

I'm hoping they continue down this more casual route they have been taking recently in XI, as I have much more of a life since the early days of my playing FFXI.

Also, the guy who said FFXI looked like crap but plays WoW, is a great big hippocrit.

FFXIV and The Old Republic are competing for my MMO of '10, It's gonna be first come first served, but if I get in a beta of either and find it awesome I'll wait for it.
If either are pulled of right ( though I think Star Wars has the better chance) they cold pull at least a few million form WoW and keep em this time.
I really want to see how well it plays on PS3 too, they seem to have a ton of MMO's lined up, in fact most MMO's coming out over the next year are on PS3...

Why is this game getting so much hate?

Is it because it's an RPG? Because it's a Final Fantasy game? Because it's an online game? Because it's a PS3 console exclusive (for now)? Cripes, some of the people sound incredibly pathetic spewing hate on a game you have never played and never WILL play.

Let people with actual varied taste in games enjoy a conversation, for Christ's sake...

It's not console exclusive. Never has been.

People hate it because because a very large number of troglodytes played FFXI for two weeks at launch, decided it was too hard, and left to bitch about it for the next five years. FFXI thus gained a bad reputation despite being loved by many.

And never mind that the new game is going in a completely different direction from XI's unrelenting hardcore style. People like to complain.

PS3 and Windows, meaning it's not console exclusive.
For consoles, it's PS3 exclusive. PS3 exclusive =/= Console exclusive

For one, Final Fantasy VII fanboys bash any Final Fantasy game thats not a remake of 7. Another thing, WoWtards thought FFXI was too hard and required to much effort.

I actually liked the fact that XI kicked my ass. It was the first MMO I played, so I got used to the relentless butt-hurt I got from it.

Plus the ease of macro creation / manipulation and the incredibly versatile sub-job system meant I could play however I want with the same character and still stay on the same server.

Whew, almost a run-on sentence there. But you people who played and loved XI know what I'm talking about; it's a die-hard community and I can't wait for a beta of XIV to rejoin it.

This news has been digested and mostly dismissed by the FFXIV forums for weeks. Summary: the QA coordinator and testers are probably for XIV, but for the in-house alpha. The Game Master is most likely for FFXI.

The game's producers said in an interview that the beta will begin in 2010:

You know, I was really looking forward to this game, but I don't think I'll be getting it if they make it much like FFXI. I didn't much like the art style or really anything about that game.

So if XIV comes out before XIII, then will XIII become XIV and XIV will become XIII??? Cuz it looks like they are working a lot faster on XIV than XIII... I think they've shown more of XIV this early after announcement than what they showed of XIII at announcement.
