In a financial meeting, Square Enix president Yoichi Wada said the company was working on a big MMO in addition to Final Fantasy XIV. "I think we will reveal it sometime this year," said Wada.

:lol: I had hopes they would fix FFXIV, and while they fixed a few things, the core problems were never really touched upon. Their best bet, take FF11, make it up to date, and make it a new universe (man do dat Ivalice Online, best idea ever).

They should cancel FFXIV and make it into a singleplayer game instead. It's going to take years to mend it, it's really not worth it.

They already changed the major team for FF14, but the game is rotten to the core, and starting over is the only option.

The 1st one was FFXI (2002) and the 2nd was FFXIV (2010).

He said MMO and not specifically RPG, maybe it's actually something innovative and new instead of another generic MMORPG.

Why?

Blizzard and Jagex own the MMO market, no one is going to leave their level 85's and lvl 130's and start all over again, its too late for new MMO's the genre is dead for newcomers, havent they realized that by now?

They used to be quite good at that, dissidia and tactics are good examples of it. I doub't that SE is so dumb to start another similair generic MMO with ff14 stil running

Thats just not true. FF11 is still one of the most played paid MMOs. You don't need 10 million subscribers to be successful, and not everyone likes those games. The majority of MMOs that come out, shoot to like 600-800k then fall to less than 100k, FF11 had like 500k not long ago, that is still successful. and :lol: Jagex :lol:

Would rather play a good MMO with a population big enough for the game to survive, than one that looks so dreadful.

They already changed the major team for FF14, but the game is rotten to the core, and starting over is the only option.

What about all the people that bought into XIV, though? If they ditch FF14 and switch to a new, I should hope they discount or something or create character equivalents for them to carry over.

I bought and played FF14, just let me beta test the next game, and take fan input very seriously, and let fans shape their next MMO into something that is actually good.

They are still supporting XIV, and this is not SE's third MMO this would actually be the 5th MMO they have worked on. By the sounds of it though this may be a FTP cash in to help them sustain a financial backbone between all these rediculousl long developement cycles for there games.

Where have you been, of course they have done some innovative and new stuff like Dissidia, Sigma Harmonics,and The World Ends With You.

They're not doing that. The new MMO will probably be like SE's FMO and cater to Japanese and Chinese players and people in US won't know what the hell it is. They are fixing FFXIV and it much, much better than it was at release. Also they are doing a giant update in mid june, and here's a list of all the stuff they are set to accomplish before the end of summer.

That's what I said, Ivalice Online. :o

Oh man, an MMO set in Ivalice would be amazing. So much stuff to work with there; races and setting. Hell, FFXII had some aspects of an offline MMO, I don't see why SE hasn't done it yet. When SE first hinted at a new MMO back in '07 or whatever, I was sure it was going to be an MMO set in Ivalice. I was pretty sad when it just ended up being a "remake" of FFXI. Perhaps it was better that way, FFXIV was a turd and I wouldn't want SE to taint Ivalice.

Dissidia isn't that innovative, games that don't come out here don't count, and TWEWY is not recent.

Dissidia is pretty fresh, Sigma Harmonics still exist even it didn't came outside of Japan (:(), and TWEWY is not that old, far fromlong time old.

I guess SE wants to bleed money. Focus your resources on bringing us FF13-2 and FF13 Versus!

I wouldn't call Dissidia innovative or original. It's nothing more than Virtua On with Final Fantasy characters.

And Jagex? I didn't know Jagex were that popular. The last time I checked the Runescape page it said there were only 200k people online. I've been thinking of trying Runescape again, it was my first PC game and my first online game. :)

Going by history, this one should be a success.

Six years later, the fourth Square Enix MMO will be released, and it will be ****.

They always have the option of using the FF7 setting and cashing in on all the nostalgia. Altho i have to admit, i'd play it give ff9 setting instead.

After the big loss SE had they really try to make a game in a genre they made an ok and a horrible game in? Looks like SE tries extremly hard to go bankrupt
