No New MMO Yet From Square? Why Havent They Seized The Moment?

WoW is absolute garbage through and through. Blizzard is a repulsive corporation and it shows constantly. I am sorry you didn't escape the indoctrination process.

Straight to ad hominem, nice.

They only jump into threads as the defense force of the game/company because how dare people name another game/company or criticize the game.

Whenever I see comments like this I have to wonder, when was the last time you looked up anything about Blizzard Activision? Or are you just WOW bad FFXIV good cuz it's the cool thing to do?

I think is nothing short of a miracle that XI and XIV (and a DQ one I think) are still running.

Avengers went belly up, that bizarre ff7 flavored fortnite-like died super quickly and that one co-op game whose name I forgot also tanked in a few months.
Square is probably terrified of such a big risk, specially when a couple of low effort cellphone games can keep them in the green.

They are also more trend chasers than setters now, I fully expect their next online venture to be closer to something like Genshin rather than a traditional or original idea.

Too bad the XI "remake" never happened. I'm still curious what would have happened.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it complete garbage.
Also, that attitude is a prime example of how many see the WoW community acting like.
Bashing on anything that doesn't suit their own personal point of view.
(I thought the FFXIV community was better than this. /s)
Clearly it's a good game in general, seeing how it has managed to stay active for so long and still is the top dog among MMOs.

Blizz however, they used to be good too. But it's as the saying goes, "Either you die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

I would have said the same thing from the end of Wrath to very recently but I gave Dragonflight a shot and it's actually alright. Still not my cup of tea for a variety of reasons like the boring combat and the awful writing, but as a whole it's not bad. FFXIV could learn a thing or two from DF, like having more engaging content out in the zones. I thought DF's zones being full of little events and hidden treasures was pretty neat. The first time I got one shot by Fyrrak out of nowhere in that centaur plains area I laughed out loud.

Yeah lol, it's pretty unfortunate this is quite common on the official forums.

Didn't the interest in GW2 go up so much they are planning a few more expansions? That's what I heard at least. Still hoping for a console port or at least official controller support.

It's obvious that this thread is a bait.

It's already been said, but... if SE were to release a new modern MMO anytime in the foreseeable future, their biggest competitor would be themselves. And, there's always the risk of another 'FFXI to 1.0 FFXIV' situation. SE is REALLY good at making bad decisions when it comes to tanked investments, and I'd really rather not encourage that trend further.

Big agree. XIV desperately needs to bring it's zone content up to snuff.
