Another MMO?

[Jojoya]

I've just been looking at the financial numbers that FFXI and FFXIV drew in, and they're both Squeenix's best earners of their eras. Do you think they'll make a FF18 Online or 20Online in the future?

Or do you think they fact they pour most the money we pay in this game into things like Kingdom Hearts Super Bad Rush Job Messy Narrative Dissonance the Gamplay 2.980 Prologue Chi Unchained Hearts Hearts Hearts Hearts and other Playstation Exclusives, means they've given up on the MMO market and see this as a dead end?

Opinions?

I for one would love to see what they could do, unshackled from the burdens of 1.0's sphaghetti code.

They might make another FF MMO in the future but probably only after both XI and XIV close shop for good (or are about to). MMOs are expensive to make and their popularity has died down quite a bit from their peak. Too many MMOs can spread out consumers still interested in them too much to support multiple games.

The game is not shackled by 1.0 spaghetti code and has not been since 2.0 was launched.

What's been holding the game back in many ways is the player clients. Having access to the most advanced gaming technology available to developers does no good if 80% of players don't own a system that can handle it. We saw a big jump in quality for some parts of the game when PS3 support was dropped in Stormblood and SE was able to address some limitations caused by that support. We'll be seeing another jump in quality for Dawntrail as PC system requirements get bumped up quite a bit. If PS4 support gets dropped in 8.0 as expected, there will probably be another jump then.

Those that demanded 1.0 to be better got us A realm reborn
Those who accept the status quo got us stuff like 1.0

We're stakeholders, demand better.

Paying $60 for the game plus another $15 month does not make anyone a stakeholder. It makes them a consumer paying for a service.

If you want to be a stakeholder, then you'll need to buy SE stock.
