Are you planning on playing?

[Ouch!]

I may wait a little while to let Square Enix sort things out with updates once the game launches; depends how extensive their beta testing is.

[Jessweeee♪]

I definitely want to someday. I'm not sure if I'll be ready by launch, though.

[Aydin]

I am going to play for sure! If it was anything as addicting as FFXI, I'll be playing for a looooooong time!

[Mo-Nercy]

I feel guilty being the only 'maybe' at this stage.

Bad indecisive Mo!

[Madame Adequate]

I'm interesting in playing if it fixes a few problems that I have with IX

[Loony BoB]

I don't think FFIX will have much to do with FFXIV.

Let's hope not!

[Hot Shot]

I'm definately up for playing this, it looks uber cool! But only if I can afford it

[Rostum]

Let's hope not!

Don't you like FF9?

[*Devore*]

I'm definitely buying it on launch, whether or not I can afford to play it straight away is an enigma. Though I should be on it by mid september.

Don't you like FF9?

I do not But I recognize it as being a good game that's simply not to my taste, rather than being a bad game.

If FF14 had more of a FF9 vibe, I would be so happy. Too bad it doesn't.

I can appreciate that.

I didn't much care for XI. Hopefully XIV will be more "just pop in to kill time" friendly. I'd quite happily pay a monthly fee for a game I can just hop into for an hour or two every day. But I never found XI being this accessible. For one, it took 5 years to move a metre (...okay, exaggeration), and it was also too complicated to get into any story anywhere. I appreciate the idea of not being shown where to go and all, and I can understand why people like this, but I personally didn't enjoy it. A game shouldn't assume you magically know every destination in it and how to get there.

I don't think MMO's are for you, but the developers did voice they want to market the game towards both casual and hardcore players. So we'll see how things pan out.
