FF14　Online Announced (FF14 Q & A session updated)Follow

IGN has already been wrong once this E3 about what consoles big games are coming out for.

I wouldn't take their word for it.

That aside:
It may, in fact, be planned to be exclusively for PS3. FFXI was originally PS2-only.

Also: Rage at them saying FFXIII is the first FF title on 360 =/

Im excited about this and I want to play it now!

New Experience, New Game, New Character, New Fun!

Yes, Please!

See ya'll there! ~_^ (Well those who are coming!)

IF you're coming say WOOT! lol j/k =D

It has been rumored to be shown at Sony's conference for the past week and everything about it said PC/PS3, so no worries. Even at the Sony event, the guy specifically said PS3 was the only Console that would have it.

WAIT!!!!!!

I think you guys are really grasping for straws with this connection thing.

a few points:

- the land is named Eorzea, not Vana'diel
- The "galka" has no tail, thus, is not a galka, they probably just used the galka frame as a reference to allow people to let "size" selection mean something.
- the elf is an elf. 3/4 of MMOs today have elves, and half of those have multiple kinds of elves.
- The hume looks like a FFXI hume, but so? Humans are humans, and it probably made for a good base model.

I sincerely doubt this will be FFXI-2. SE said that it would not be based off of FFXI. Thus far, none of the FF# series have been in the same world as any other FF# series. Obviously, none FF#'s have done so, but that's not the point. The trailer shows a very brief collection of shinies, just because there are a few vague similarities doesn't mean it will be FFXI-2.

Also wondering if this'll use PlayOnline.

I agree. However it would be nice if older players got "Item X" as a thank you gift. Just a little something to give you a boost up.

Not that I think they would seriously do it, but no character transfers, please. Just imagine having to play with level 75 players in XI who had never played the game before but got instantly promoted because they had a lot of experience in, say, Everquest. This is a whole new game, and you need to learn and earn your way through like everyone else.

I have no idea why people would even want such a thing. What would be the fun in that? It's about the journey, people.

Now, some neat cosmetic bonuses for people with FFXI accounts would be a nice touch.

About the races in the trailer -- as others have pointed out, the resemblance of the big guy to a Galka is obvious. I couldn't see any tail at all though. I'm not sure what to think.

Visually, it's obviously a direct continuation of the FFXI style. Very exciting.

They said rapture (FF14?) would use the same friends and whatnot...so yeah assuming it will use POL.

Even if they do allow transfers, nobody's forcing YOU to use it. You can always start a new character. It took me years to hit 75, and now I have even less free time than I used to. If they don't allow some form of character transfer, that's a deal-breaker right there.

There is a scene that is clearly real time in that trailer. The boat scene has some washed out effects and the models have a lot less detail as well as drastically cut lighting system compared to the FMV in the later parts. The boat really reminds me of the selbina boat and instead of a small kraken we get a huge monster that flies over the boat XD.

The rest is definitely FMV. We will probably hear more about the game tomm. since there is a conference for SE tomm. at 11:00 AM PDT. I think we are going to see races earilly similar to FFXI races but with small changes in the details. I also hope they take the time to add some new races too :o

I wonder if FFXI players will be given the opportunity to beta test it or something, I'd so do it!

Anyone notice that theres no Mithra...

guess they dont get out much.

That flying sea monster thing looks suspiciously like Leviathan, just a very very huge version of Leviathan.
