New FF MMO

[Rostum]

I think they should wait quite a few years before they bring in a new FF MMO. One thing they must have to definitely do though is provide an offline mode and make it cheaper. If you make the monthly charges cheaper then a lot more people will buy your game.

Okay let's get one thing straight. YOU DO NOT MAKE AN "OFFLINE" MODE FOR AN MMO. IT IS AN MMO FOR A REASON, FFS! Also, they do not need to wait a few years, FFXI has been out since 2000-2001! Also, $12USD a month is NOT A LOT OF MONEY, NEITHER IS $15USD A MONTH FOR WOW.

Excuse the caps, it's like beating a dead horse. In fact, I'll beat it again. YOU DO NOT MAKE AN OFFLINE MODE FOR AN MMO. Phantasy Star Universe sucked and it was majorly unsuccessful. Also you look at cheap and free MMO's (Guild Wars is NOT AN MMO) and they suck because they don't have any or very little upkeep and updates.

GIEF IVALICE MMO!

That would be epic.

Yes please!!!

Edit: By the way I think in an interview awhile ago they said they are not going to label it under Final Fantasy. Of course, SE are notorius for changing their minds whenever, without telling people.

Edit2: Lekana, a lot of that information about FFXI is misinformed but I can agree with some, especially if you are looking at all the new things FFXI has brought to the table in the last year-year and a half. There's plenty of insentive to get to the cap level without having to do end-game now. There's heaps of casual player mechanics that have been implemented, and they've made it a lot easier to get to the cap level now. There are many low-man instanced dungeons you can do for some great gear, and they have even introduced things you can do to get good gear instead of camping overpopulated Notorious Monsters.

One thing I think FFXI really has over MMO's at the moment is the great amount of story and lore. The missions are great, they are challenging (and not in a time-sync way either), and they provide a great way to experience the numorous story archs that the game offers so far (there's three more story archs coming out soon). The cutscenes are very well executed too, with great cinematography and all. The only downside, and this is SE's fault, is that the history/lore is only supplied in outside material that they haven't bothered to translate. Thankfully someone on a popular FFXI forum has been translating a lot of it and it's very good stuff.

I guess I'd love for SE to provide better customer service for their next MMO, and also provide everything to the English customers. Oh it'd also be nice if SE recognized players as actual customers.
