Spira would be the best universe for a Final Fantasy MMO

It's got the requisite monster killing and hunting thanks to sinspawn.

It's got the ultimate video game pass-time (Blitzball!)

Not to mention Pop Concerts

It's got plenty of races and factions

What do you guys think?

I've always thought this. A Sphere Grid-like character progression system and a choice between Humans, Ronso, Al Bhed, Guado, and Hypello always seemed like a good MMO concept. Frankly I would play the trout out of it. Mayhaps you could choose between juggling different factions and stuff.

YOU COULD HAVE BABY SHOOPUF MOUNTS OMG

[Slothy]

It does have a lot of stuff people would look for in an MMO I guess. And it probably would be perfect actually. MMO's are boring as hell so they should have a really boring setting to go with them.

I would rather have an FF VIII MMO just so I can play as a Shumi with the hope that by the end the Shumi would evolve into a Moomba.

FFX does probably have the best world for an MMO though.

[Freya]

vivi, mmos aren't boring when you have the right people to play with!

Spira would make a good MMO. But instead of making something from preexisiting they made whole new worlds for the mmos. They work I GUESS

[Elskidor]

I'd go for Ivalice or FFVI. IV's three different maps would also be nice to build on to.

I know you don't like FFX, but you can't deny that there are some really gorgeous places. The Moonflow? The Farplane? Macalania Woods/Lake? Zanarkand? Come on now, seriously.

Oh man I would play a Spira MMO for the rest of my life

[Jessweeee♪]

The Farplane o:

If I need to play with the right people for a game to not be boring then it's not the game that's good.

Spira would be the best universe for a Pokemon Snap game.

That's how I felt when people tried getting me into WoW, AND Gawwwww..WoW sucks. Go back to the original poor graphics Everquest and find real mmo pleasure. Then again my true gamer friends never really could play the cheese that is WoW. But Spira could make a good mmo world, in all honesty, but so could any FF world. It's the game play that matters. The world just builds itself around the awesomeness or suckiness of the game created around it....it thrives if the game is good and burns if the game is bad.

Agreed.


Although, personally, my stance is even more hostile to the situation than that. I've played MMOs with good groups and guilds before. It makes them just barely tolerable. Every MMO I've played is designed to be punishing to single players, to encourage socialization. So if you get a good group, it elevates the game to the rank of most other solid single player experiences, at best.

However, even then, it still has major negative repercussions on game flow and structure. You're restricted in how you can play based on the desires of the group, and the availability of the group. How much people want to grind, where they want to go, what quests they want to pursue, who wants to run dungeons, who is online, who needs to break for dinner. Even with a good group, it can be a problematic experience.

And I am rapidly getting extremely off topic, so I think I'll switch back on topic instead of continuing this rant.


Spira would be a decent place for an MMO, and I would like to see it open up more. Ivalice would still be better though.

Almost every Final Fantasy game has everything you mentioned in the OP.
