New 1up.com Article: "Final Fantasy XIV: A Franchise Reborn"

[Delsus]

Interesting read. I don't think I realized that 2.0 was going to need a whole new client. I mean, it makes sense in a way, but I hadn't thought about it. I figured that existing players would "upgrade" same as always, but it sounds like everyone will need to buy and register new discs? That's how I read it, anyway.

We have know about the new client for months now, but to answer your question, all subscribers get a free download of the ARR client, any new players, yes they will need to buy new disks.

That article don't speak a lot of ARR , it just says that they are remaking the game because it's was really bad( which is quite old news ) , that the autor love FFVII ( seriously he compares Nael ,that looks like an ivalice judge, to Sephiroth ! ) , and resume the story of 1.0 ( well forgeting about primals that's not related to the meteor , too different from FFVII ... ).

If you think about it Van Darnus is a lot like Sephiroth the way he acts, talking to Dalamud like he does, and his need to cleanse the world using Dalamud it is very Sephiroth-like. You are looking merely at looks rather than personality.

That's not the same thing at all , Nael wants to destroy the gods ( which is quite the same thing in FF XII ) .And Sephiroth talks like that to Jenova ? Except when he took his head , but he was totally mad , Nael kinda praise Dalamud's destruction powers .

it'll be funny if nael comes back as a super being that looks like sephiroth

Just as Sephiroth praises Jenova's power, the similarities are there and are easy to see, it just takes a bit of thought to see them, I didn't at first but after that article I did see them.

Oh and in FFXII Achadia just wants to expand their empire and is bent on world domination, which is what the Garlean empire is trying to do, however Van Darnus is bend on using Dalamud to destroy the world, which is why the black wolf wants us to kill him and stop Dalamud, because you cannot rule what doesn't exist, its also why he never stopped us.

That is when I'll honestly burn SE to the ground and piss on their corpses.

anyway, the problem is that the author only speaks of FF7 all the time ...

[Starlord]

lol i didn't say 7 :P, it's not even in my top 5 to be honest with you. I did put some time into that game but it'll never compare to when i beat zeromus for the first time. NEVER.

XII was by far an awesome game, it'd be #1 if Balthier was the main hero.

My comment was based on the Article when they said 7 was the last " Great FF game" before they went down hill, when 8/9/10/12 were all very good games 9 and 12 being my favorites, were very awesome games FFX got me into FF =).
