PS3 exclusive is suicide. They'll make it PS3 Onry then shut down FFXI forcing many PC/360 people to go to sony. It's not right. It's a lost money thing.

EDIT: YAY NOT ON 360! PS3/PC Onry! Horray! Seriously, RPG's don't have good track records on 360. 360 is FPS mostly.

They won't shut down ffxi and it is PS3 Console exclusive, but it is also on PC. so all the exclusive means is it wont be on PS2/360 which is a Good thing imo.

Read my edit. We posted at the same time.

Well, judging by it. I'll expect Tailless Galka, Tarutaru (The icon shows a male and female. Top right in the blue), Elf (With not-so-long ears), and Hume.

BUT THERE BETTER BE SOME MITHRA-LIKE RACE OR IMMA BE MAAAAAAD!!!

Edit: And they better keep the job system.

And make less servers. Honestly, I'd love a one server community.

[Fiye]

Oh, oh!

And make POL less shitty.

Include a windower in the PC version.

Add in some hack detecting software for the PC.

And... I think that's it for now.

[Fiye]

One more thing!

Hopefully the dungeons will be something better than "Metal Gear Solid" hide and seek.

I think that's it for my list of wants.

Beyond a reason to not lose $21k.

I don't see anything wrong with putting it on 360 but guess FFXI sales weren't good enough to support putting it on 360, 360 owners can always get it on PC.

I probably should stay away from it regardless, I definately will be if there isn't a cute cat-girl or bunny-girl race

As for shutting down FFXI I heard they will be late 2010, I can't watch the video because it's country restricted

There seem to be a LOT of Japanese otaku who are still on the PS2.

This, the rumored porting of FFXI to the PS3, and probably several other measures I am unaware of, seem to be a bullet aimed straight at these otaku's wallets.

I am aware that platforms are loss leaders, but the PS2 holdouts aren't buying PS3 games, are they?

Watch the video closely, the boat fight scene where you see the magic dome, there is a Mithra in the middle that is casting that.

All current Races will be in the game.

*Walks away from the room*

*Fangirlish scream*

[Sugami]

Looks like they chopped the tail off the Galka Wonder if they'll call them "Mithra" or give them a different name.

[12:01] "We still plan on continuing developing for FFXI," he says.

[12:01] "We have a year planned for FFXI still in the works."

[12:01] He confirms that there are no plans in the near future to stop development.

Well that rumour was squashed quick

[Karou Ariyen]

Fiye missed my Metal Gear reference *sadness*

Oh and there's this person on Hades, Ascule. She thinks she knows everything. She's so obsessed. She refuses to listen to people I know in japan who talk about the situation about PS2/PS3 because "She's a tech support person, she knows nothing. She's a fangirl." She's dumb. A Moron. She doesn't like to be wrong and throws teh fangirl/fanboy word around like it's nothing. She's gotten on my nerves and won't shut up.

"PS2 is old. No one develops for it anymore!" Really ? More games coming out for PS2. Ironic really. And if no one is developing for it anymore, then why is SE attempting to keep FFXI Alive? Who died and made this dumb yankee (Sorry I live in USA Too Don't mean to offend) The official Representitive of Squeenix!? If you come to hades for FF14, STEER CLEAR Of this idiot.

Oh and you'll love this:
Kaoru Mizuna : PS2 Needs to die. I love it but it's too old. It's far behind the technology curve! It's holding 360/PC Back with FPS Rates."
Ascule : FFXI Is Old. Nothing can improve the game even w/o PS2.

You see what a moron she is? She thinks she knows everything. She thinks that even if I bash 360 RPG Wise, I'm a fan girl.... Bull. I'm a fan of the NES and Genesis. I'm voicing my opinion about current news and I'm being ripped to shreds for my opinion. Sorry to rant but she pushed me too far.

There's no point to being a fan <gender> to any console. My hopes for FFXIV have been laid out. As far as we all know, it'll include the same races we've known and love.

What will be different about them, we'll see. So far, the Elf-like race has not-so-big ears, and the galkas have no tail.

Will we see a Male-Mithra and Female-Galka in FFXIV? Who knows. Hell, will we still have to use preset faces?

All I'm sure of, is FFXIV is a fresh start for FFXI, and I can't wait to see the cut scenes in FFXIV. That is, if they don't try to pull an AOC with the graphics.

I like my graphics simple, artistic, and beautiful. Not shiny, detailed, and taxing on the system.

[Tivia]

I thought the look of Elvaan was pretty good honestly. their major issue is their animations are just terrible. Especially running..ugh. Watching an Elvaan run/fight makes me physically cringe.

The ears and their lankiness is what got to me. The ears looked a bit... blegh. I like 'em pointed up and pointy. Not stretching out like a pair of wings.

Its like falling in love with a car, save for the part where they get orphaned faster than most cars.

I didn't want a fresh start for FFXI. I wanted my old FFXI and a whole new game.

I like my graphics simple, artistic, and beautiful. Not shiny, detailed, and taxing on the system.

Rumored to be on the XII engine, and what little footage I have seen looks like it.

Well they've said it's a new game entirely. The only similarities are the races and that it's an MMO... and a job system I guess but the system itself may be completely different.

Rumored to be on the XII engine, and what little footage I have seen looks like it.

They said the little video is quite close to the game engine.

[12:18] "Was yesterday's trailer the same quality that we'll actually see in the game?" is the next question.

[12:20] Komoto says, "Yes, there were parts that were prerendered, but parts were running on the in-game engine."

Something I think funny:

[12:13] Komoto says, "Our plan from the beginning was to make the best Final Fantasy game available with FFXIV. That was our vision."

[12:13] "We thought, 'How can we make the best FF game?' We decided on the MMO genre."

Heh, by "best" they probably meant "most profitable"

[Shirai]

Heh, by "best" they probably meant "most profitable"

Of course, running a subscribtion based MMOG is financially way more attractive for a game company then single player games.

Considering the man hours that SE put into FFXIII and its engine.
