Final Fantasy XIV being the center of the universe?

if you watch the crystals call video, at the beginning there is just the crystal, then they show the ffgames which fly into the crystal. at the end of the video, there is 13 smaller crystals floating around it. i wonder if this could be a hint that every FF world will tie into FFXIV. would be cool if we could visit parts of those worlds.

I just was under the impression it meant, FFXIV was going to have elements from those FF's shown inside the game.

Yoshi-P is making 14 into a fanservice game, which is why they give us that little nostalgia trip at the start.

It won't be as fan service-y as Dissidia or Theatrhythm, unfortunately... :/

I'm kinda glad about that one though, I don't think areas an characters from other games will work in 14, but sliding some components in like they have been that can fit into the world works well imo.

I fixed that sentence for you.

I'm honestly happy that they're only adding very small references to other FF titles, like mounts, names, items and mobs. I want FFXIV to feel like a game on its own and that is a part of the FF lineage. I'd rather end up seeing FFXIV npc's eventually make a cameo in other future fanservice titles like Kingdom Hearts or Dissidia. Instead of turning FFXIV into another kingdom hearts or dissidia.

Basically I want it to be in the same regards as FFXI. Where npc's like Prishe and Shantotto ended up in Dissidia.

I agree. I think what we've seen in trailers are just the elements that SCREAM Final Fantasy. In reality I expect it to basically do what FFIX did, but in MMO form: have enough throwback elements to really pick at our nostalgia while tying them into its own world.

I don't mind fan service, but don't kill the lore of the game with it. Disguise them as easter eggs, or something, but don't bluntly put Sephiroth in the game like most people are asking them to do.
