New Final Fantasy MMO still undecided

Posted on November 28th, 2007 at 08:48 EDT

Since World of Warcraft took gamers by storm, it has now becoming a developing trend in the industry to at least consider producing an MMO. One company, Square-Enix however, is no stranger to the market after achieving success with Final Fantasy XI, which was a MMO that was featured on both the PC, and consoles.

Speaking of Final Fantasy XI, at a recent festival celebrating the game, Square Enix VP, Hiromichi Tanaka, revealed a bit of info regarding the latest Square-Enix MMO project.

“As you might already know, members from the current FFXI team are working on a next generation MMO, but it still hasn't been decided whether that's going to be a game in the FF series, a continuation, or a totally new game. We are working on it, but it hasn't been decided that far yet.”

So yes, it is confirmed that Square-Enix is creating another MMO, however, it still yet to be confirmed if this title will take place in the Final Fantasy universe, or will it be a new stand alone IP. We will keep you updated on the details.

Better NOT make it a Final Fantasy. It pissed me off that they made 11 into an MMO.

i surely do hope that it's a stand alone IP. leave the final fantasy to single player RPG, FFXI just did not do it for me...

Futuristic. Action based. The ability to play solo if no party can be found.

 

Without those things it would be a tough sell for me. I don't care if it is called FF or not. XI was broken IMO.

I think its going to be a new IP for sure, they will try to diversify their brand when it comes to MMO.

LiQuiFiedArt - Dude FFXI was a amazing game best mmo i have played blows world of warcraft and any other mmo out of the water unfortuantely it wasnt to popular because of the time and skill needed to achieve things.
FFXI was incredibley indepth and a amazing experience and i only hope that the team come out with a new game along the same lines i dont care if its final fantasy or not (or though it would be cool) as long as it has the same lastability and depth that 11 had just please no more MMO's with the WoW interface
