Yoshi P. working on a new game?

[Caitlyn]

It's already turning 9 this year. 1.0 released in 2010.

Servers are down for about a year between November 2012 (Legacy Shutdown) and August 2013 (Release ARR)

Um, I don't know how to feel. If Yoshida is engaged in another big project, will FFXIV suffer from that? @x@

Not really. Yoshi's reputation I think is tied far too much to this game, and I doubt he'd give it up given what success it's had.

Worst case scenario is that he'll delegate some of his power to someone else. Second worst case scenario would be me looking at gaming news thinking "do we really need another stupid Dragon Quest game?"

Maybe the FF 13 trilogy remaster? Think its closing in on its 10 year anniversary, right? Though I don’t really think it’s considered a lar

Edit: rip, mobile sucks. And like I was saying before I derped up; I doubt it’s considered a large scale game and I’m not even sure Yoshi would get involved with FF13

If they make a new FF game, I hope they go back to a medieval high fantasy theme. -.-

He flat out said that he'd direct XVI if asked and that it'd be high fantasy.

I think it's FFXVI and I don't think it's a new MMO.
I don't see Yoshida working on a new MMO with all he has to do on FFXIV already.

I care more about the combat at this point... I loath the direction the franchise has gone with XIII and XV... Seems like a flashy, substanceless mess to me... I'd love a game that looks as good as XV, and is as seamless too, but with the combat of something like Bravely Default... Hard to really have any synergy between party members when there is minimal to no control over them...

Honestly, I care about both elements. XV looked good but I didn't get as engaged as I wanted with neither the battle system or the overall theme. However, games nowdays cater to a different public and a turn-based system wouldn't create too much appeal in a numbered Final Fantasy title. Don't get me wrong, I'm an old school RPG/JRPG gamer and I would LOVE to see a turn based game again (Mainly the reason why I'm playing Exvius at this moment). Having to think about what each member can do in combat feels more engaging for me than just swinging my sword with one buttom. With that being said...

This is hopeful and I want this project to become what Yoshi-p envisioned. I'm kinda fed up with this modern style. If anything, I'd love to see Akihiko Yoshida being part of it.

Maybe a remaster of FFXI or another MMORPG (FFXVI)? Who knows?

When its going to be another online FF, I hope they will make it possible to transfer our characters into the new game.

I don't think they will let FFXIV bleed out, because its the most money generating game so far (if I m not mistaken).

Actually there has been a little speculation in the FFXI forums to the fact their was just announcement in FFXI for the 20 anniversary which is around 3 years out. In it they also talk about fiscal year.

At the end of the show we mentioned that starting next fiscal year, we're going to focus our development and operations on a long-term goal of the twentieth anniversary. As such, there may be some time where the version updates may feel a bit lighter, but we're hoping to be able to deliver something that can surprise everyone later on.

20 anniversary could be the last year but pure speculation. Big event for the last year?
Makes sense it is the perfect time 20 years.
So if it were true they would need another MMO. Also FFXIV would be getting a little old by that time too. Maybe FFXIV will be still going strong but a company needs to be prepared. MMO business has been big business for SE and they can not afford to let it slip away.


Again pure speculation.

To me it also does not mean Yoshi P is leaving FFXIV, could just be overseeing it as a start up and helping it off the ground.

I really feel that there will be another MMO in the works even if it has nothing to do with Yoshi P or if it has nothing to do with FFXI end of life.

If they do I do not think it will be as far out as FFXI and somewhere in the middle of FFXIV and FFXI.

I do not think we will ever see as hardcore as FFXI was but more closer to what it is now which is way closer to FFXIV .
