Final Fantasy XIV

Yep, you read right. FF14 has been announced already and the Fabula series hasn't even come out yet!

It's going to be online just like FF11 was.

So far it's exclusive to PS3. Some say that it will come out on pc aswell, but I'm sure M$ will find some way of bringing it to the 360$$$

Here's a trailer

It's definatly coming to PC, so i'm certain it'll be on 360 eventually.

I hope not. I'm kinda a Sony fangirl. xD And they already got FXIII AND they stole Kojima from us and got Metal Gear Rising- which is a SPINOFF, not a sequal like Peace Walker is. So there.

its not going to the X Box 360, they have made that clear at E3 09. however making it to the PC may happen, but i wouldnt be too sure since the graphics are insane.

Exactly. But 13 should look beautiful and IT'S going to the 3-Fix Me. =] Just kidding... Kinda.

It said that it was launch exclusive, so it might eventually find it's way on to the 360. Either that or it's going to be (console wise) PS3 exclusive.

Summary

World: Haiderin (Eorza region)
setting/style: High-Fantasy (A more modern setting, different to a traditional middle-ages inspired Fantasy)

Will be focused around character growth - no exp or lvl system, but a new type of system. There will be a deep storyline with cutscenes, but side-quests are also available. They're expanding on the job system for this MMORPG. Music by Nobuo Uematsu.



"This will be a Final Fantasy that brings the setting to a whole new world that you can experience with the new friends you will meet." Nobuaki Komoto, director of Final Fantasy XIV said. "I welcome you to join us in the world of Final Fantasy XIV and hope you enjoy your time there."

"You can trust that we plan to create a world of new possibilities that redefine the MMO. I hope you're looking forward to everything we have in store."

They should definitly make a Final Fantasy XIV, I sometimes think it wouldnt be crazy if my grandkids might be playing Final Fantasy XXXVIII in the future, but i think they shouldve given XIII a chance to be released first. Like I said about the XIII Compilation and X-2, not giving the actual game a chance before you throw in sequals will just lead to a disaster. Not enough to end Final Fantasy or anything, but they should still keep it kinda slow.

Yeah, I think they should slow down as well, but the Square part of Squre-Enix has a huge division now and they need to keep each team working or they'll just end up dying out.

((triple post!))

Square-Enix has updated the FF14 website with new information about the gladiator and Pugilist classes. Check out the site (here), and look around for any information you might not know or any footage/screenshots you havn't seen.

Also, check out the bestiary that's got a link to it just under the site page (once you choose your language), the creatures look so realistic. I've never seen a Marlboro look so life-like.

I really need to convince my parents that playing an online game will not kill my computer...although, if I do get on and play this, I don't think I'll ever leave my computer!

Thanks for all the info!

I just wish my pc could run it
