SE making NEW MMO

[Nuru]

FF11 did not even come out in NA so does not even matter if it was horrible Japan was testing it.

I think one of the interview one of them said the game not ready and we need more time but i think CEO just did not listen to there request i think the CEO is what making SE have such a bad track record that and and when einix join Square.

I think you missed his point. FF11 could afford the mistakes in their first year because it was one of the few MMORPGs available to play. Right now, FFXIV cannot afford to be in the state it is in much longer, and SE decided to take up a new MMORPG in order to make more profit off of that, perhaps using a different title than Final Fantasy because of the reputation the FF games have been given recently.

FFXIV has more competition right now as FFXI didn't, that's what he meant.

That's what I'd expect from any video game company, or companies in general. When making a product, you have to think about how much of it is going to be sold, and how much profit you could make. You can't just have an idea and go along with it, it has to be analyzed and tested, perhaps even surveyed, to get an idea of Need vs Cost.

With a Video Game company, you have to take an accurate guess at how many people are going to enjoy the game you are going to make. This is why video game companies have to think ahead of their own time, and in this case, it seems as if they have found a soft spot and are going to do what it takes to get this game out asap. They are not telling us what it is exactly, because well, that's SE for ya. They want everything to be a surprise.

They said they'd announce the name sometime before the end of their current fiscal year.

My guess is that if they are even trying to manage another MMO, it is probably going to be one that many people have been asking for, and will probably have a huge subscriber base form the very beginning.

EDIT: So, I'm hoping it has something to do with Ivalice...
