You are already assuming that the new game will work exactly like the old one. I'd like to think that SE learned their lessons....
Are you kidding me?

No no transfers or item to new MMO, meaning its a FRESH game, everyone starts from scratch. No cheating please.

lol cheating. We put work into FFXI, moving the work we put in into another game isn't "cheating".


SE said FFXI and FFXIV will works side by side as 2 seperate MMORPG games. I dont see any reason whatsoever to allow any FFXI player to transfer or move chars to the new MMO: Logically it would make no sense at all. In no other MMO:s it have been like that, to name 2 Linage 1 & 2 and Everquest 1 & 2.

How much you want to bet that M$ shot themselves in the foot over this one? I wouldn't be surprised if they forced the pay to play membership onry for xbox live issue on this game, and SE thumbed their noses at it.

Good show SE, and lets gooooooo Sony!

The real question is, Will Squareenixcommunity pop in here and give us a tidbit, or are they just checking the reactions from the player base?

I know that they won't be able to give us much, but anything will be good at this point. Like shooting down character transfer rumors and such.

They also promised monthly version updates when FFXI was first released.

I am sooooooooo glad I bought a PS3! Now I just hope that it is released for PC at the same time so that I can get the GF hooked right from the beginning.

It would be interesting if we can import characters, but I'm not counting on it. I almost want to start out fresh in a new world... Lets see how SE does with this one... taking the good from FFXI and making a newer, fresher MMO.

Also, I didn't see a video link... and can't access youtube at work :( Guess I'll wait until I get home

SE already said they would continue to support FFXI as long as people want to play it... they wont just shut it down because of FF14... if anything they will kill some servers and have server migrations if the player base gets smaller.

But yeah... FFXI might not see as many updates once this comes out, but I doubt they will ignore us.

No, that is one of the babies they must sacrifice to make an epic game. They didn't sacrifice babies for for FFXI. For FFIV they are going to do it right.

It's just a forum bot that records posts for them to read (or ignore) later. There's no actual person browsing.

I just Sony doesn't ***** the pooch like they did when FFXI was released on the PS2... and then they removed HD support on the new redesigned PS2's

It'll be sort of hard to stop supporting the HD on the PS3
#116REDACTED, Posted: Jun 02 2009 at 12:28 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) you keep thinking this plank, but I think you would be pretty stupid to think SE is going to keep ffxi up running with ff14 out, they will faze 11 out and get people to go to the new version.

Updates have already slowed down to once every 4 months. Any slower and we'd be looking at only having 1-2 updates a year. Releasing a MMORPG that looks like an update FFXI is just going to draw people away from FFXI rather than have it run alongside. Combine slower updates and a rapidly dwindling population and FFXI won't be profitable, and then yeah, FFXI servers will go down.

Again if you think logicaly this will never happen, the way MMO works. Items are not the same since its a new world. And if you are level 75 you will miss 99% of the content, so whats the point to make the transfer ? Trust me on this and I will bet $1 million that this wont happen. SE wants you to examine the new world and experience all the content from scratch. Or, you can stay and play FFXI, SE said as long as players stay in FFXI ( at least enough players ) they will continue supporting FFXI.

Well if all the people are moving to explore the new world of FF14 and there would be no left in FF11 its fine by me really. This way SE will bring in a lot of new players also since everyone will start from 0.

I'll decide when I see gameplay videos.


And god, guys. Don't be stupid. A character transfer in anything other than appearance and name won't be happening.


If it turns out the game is worth getting, I'll be a taru.
