I was a bit excited at first when Sony announced it. But once they showed it I said you know what, Im not getting this. As you can tell Im not a fan of MMOs. I also cannot figure out why people (oh and the fanboys which are seperate from the people) are excited for this game. Oh and I do not see how this is a mark for the PS3, its an MMO. Not really groundbreaking. However do I think it will sell well... yes... will it do well critically... yes. But I do not want to play an MMO without a story, which is why Phantasy Star is not a big blockbuster series anymore. But Final Fantasy 14 personally I am not at all excited for it. But Im sure most of you are. I am hyped for XIII, I am excited for Versus XIII and Agito XIII. But not XIV. Anyone Like Me Not Excited For Final Fantasy XIV (14)???

I'm not. Not a fan of MMORPGs and I honestly do not think the Final Fantasy franchise needs to venture there (as it just doesn't fit). But that's just me..

I don't get excited for any MMO, especially not P2P. Final Fantasy XI and XIV are no exceptions.

Well usually it does work, ever heard or played Phantasy Star. That is usually how it works.

Um, no? FFXI experienced quite a bit of success. Didn't surpass WoW or anything, but it's still going strong, and still has a large fanbase in the 4-6 million range.

I for one am really looking forward to FFXIV. The class system is far superior to WoW's, as is the graphics. The whole game is scored by Nobuo Uematsu (drool) and a strong story is present. The weapon growth system is going to work really well, especially with all of the classic available equipment and abilities in the FF universe. Now, MMO's aren't for everyone. That's fair enough, but FFXIV is gonna be pretty successful. There's already a large cult community following every piece of info they can find, as well as pre launch guilds forming.

Yeah I'm probably not gonna get it since there's going to be a monthly fee to play. I'm not a huge fan of MMORPG's either.

The last I've heard of it, it was on the fail path. But I guess I was wrong:P

I loved FF 11 when it came out, and would love to get this, but the monthly subscription fee will probably put the damper on it. I would if I could, but I probably won't be able to.

I'm excited. I liked XI a lot, but I joined the party too late so it was rough getting anything going for me. I'm looking forward to being in the first wave of players this time around.

Same here. Played until level 12 and it was really fun but then it got really difficult to find parties to level any more so I stopped playing the game. And since they want to make it more like WoW I guess that means you can do some stuff on your own so I might give the game a try :P

I have no idea what to think about FF14... only FF I ever played was FF10-2 and I hated it, purely for the combat and having to level up all the time.

IF FF14 has the create-your-own-character feature I MAY consider it, just MAY. I just really like the create-your-own character and do quests/missions with him thing like Oblivion and Fallout 3.

If it doesn't have that feature then I won't even consider it. I could check if it does but I'm downright lazy....

I'm anxious as to see what FF14 plays like. XI was fantastic, a struggle to start but it was worth it for everything that it did so well. Teamwork in parties and alliances actually felt like every individual was making a difference, the story and cut scenes were beautiful and intriguing and actually made you fight that much harder in your quests to see what happened next. Even to date i still haven't played another MMO that comes near it.... WoW is poo. And XI was controlled easily with a keyboard (for chatting) and gamepad (for everything else). I played it on PC and 360. I just hope that in trying to find a broader audience with FF14 that they don't dumb everything down. I hope voice chat is implemented so i can actually talk to other english speaking ppl but they should still keep how XI had auto translated words and phrases which made playing with foreigners easy.

When they first showed the footage, I'll admit, I was excited because I loved the way it looked. Then, however, they announced that it was an MMO, and my enthusiasm quickly disappeared as I have no interest in MMOs.

Oh well, cool for those that want it, but I won't be buying FFXIV

I've never played an mmo before...

I have mixed feelings... I signed up for the beta, I want to like it, but I'm not sure if I'm totally into it.

I just don't like MMO so I really don't care about XIV, obviously not anyone is excited about this game like it happens with any, and for the guy that said it won't sell is ridiculous, in Japan everybody loves FF and everybody loves MMORPGs, make your own conclusions, anything that makes Square make money is good for me as it will end up on the next KH, Versus Development and every RPG that I love, still for me XIV is just the reason Versus development is so slow

well my friend the reason you hate Final Fantasy is because you played the most awful title in the series, maybe you weren't informed anyway, FFX-2 is a very bad spin off, and it's designed for crazy fans of FFX I played it and I found it horrible, If you wan't to be called a a true RPG player you should try FFVII or if you are too lazy to play an old game you can just consider trying FFXIII though I don't know how it will turn out, FFs tend to be awesome no matter the number btw I'm sure you'll be able to create your character, we are talking about a modern MMORPG aren't we?
