Thread: Online and Offline

  1. #1

    Default Online and Offline

    I think that XIV should be made in two alternate versions: online and offline, the latter having a fixed cast of characters.
    Is that your final answer?

    I'd rather they went on to making FFXV than telling the same story twice.

    All they need to do is introduce NPC party characters and you've effectively got that. But the pull is supposed to be the 'playing with others' thing.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Having two versions is unrealistic in every aspect. It's online, and it's staying that way.

    Yeah, pretty much. Making an offline version of FFXIV would basically require making an entirely different game, so that energy would probably be better spent making, y'know, an entirely different game.

    I quite liked that about Phantasy Star Universe. Of course I could never play online, so I don't know how it holds up as an MMO xD

    Possibly one of the most hated online games.

    The reason why I would like an offline adaptation is because I don't think I can play online...
    Is that your final answer?

    They’ll probably have an option to play without the need of a credit card if that your problem. Time cards are a good thing.

    How exactly would that work?

    I wouldn't get too excited about non-credit card payment until Square Enix starts talking about it. They've been notoriously resilient to using other methods of payment.

    Oh... but I'd still like to know how it would work...

    You know how you can go to a store and buy a card with Xbox Live points/PSN money on them, you take it home and enter a code and it pays for stuff?

    I assume it'd be similar to that.
