Sony has just showed the first ever trailer for Square Enix’s next MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV: Online. It will be a PS3 exclusive game, however that doesn’t mean it won’t be on the PC since normally when they talk about exclusivity they are talking about consoles only.

If it does come to PC, it better have a PC interface. The console interface of the PC game FFXI was horrible.
I doubt it. Consoles limit MMOs in ways unimaginable by man. This whole thing with calling it an exclusive is just a way to sell PS3s when the game comes out.
Ugh what a dumb trailer. DESTINY, DARK HOUR, COME TOGETHER… blah blah blah .
Same old regurgitated garbage
Here’s some more info:
“The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago, while FFXI was still being supported. FFXI will continue to be supported. There is another year of content planned. There are no plans for the near future to stop development on FFXI. ”
“As with WoW, we want to aim a bit for the casual user. However, we don’t want to make a copy of WoW. We believe we will have things that are unique and will stand out from that game. ”
“All of the knowledge and experience we gained from FFXI will be used in the development of FFXIV. At the launch, we intend to have content for solo players as well as large-scale battles. We want a wide-variety from the start.”
“The current plans are to have worldwide servers that are cross-platform and cross-region. We will do a beta test and look at the balance and player experience. We want to look for a good balance between region and cross-region play. ”
“We envision users that will hopefully play XI one day and XIV another. They will be independent, but users are free to play both. ”
“We are trying to implement a lot of new systems that other MMO’s haven’t used in the past.”
Of all the things to keep from FFXI, I hope they do keep the interface, it was perfect! I hate using a mouse for gaming after playing FFXI for so long. I’d much rather use arrow keys that point-and-click any day.
