Plausibility of an FFXIV 1.23 Offline Edition

Never going to happen, give up now.

They could probbably do a visual novel like bethesda did with mass effect on the PS3. Or... a strategy RPG version with just some cutscenes woven into the game. /shrugs depends how much SE would want to put into such a venture.

but once the server is out for DL pirate server will pop up and no way SE will let that happen so no way we will see 1.23 for solo play.

True enough, but then I gather they completely rewrote the server structure for ARR, so I wonder how much they'd care that it was out there. If they intended to sell off the rights to it, then it might bother them, but if it was being tossed on the scrapheap, they might be less concerned.

Never going to happen, give up now.

You're right of course, but I just wanted to hear what the community's opinion on it was. If it were available, would you play it?

Yeah that kind of thing sounds like a lot more effort to do; ie requiring significant programming time. However, I guess it's the kind of thing we'd see on an ARR 20th Anniversary celebration project for Google Glass 4.0 or something in that distant future time...

I think a cut-scene player would be a fine compromise.

[Momita]

I Disagree... Cutscenes are epic, yes but the gaming is another story...


The emotion behind farming Raptor with War?
Killing everything in Natalan with your Pt rushing inside until the coffer or/and the boss...
The chatting in Ul'dah plaza...
All flaws in the game...
and the wind of changing.... I really enjoyed this atmosphere...


I don't asking for the game but would be really awesome for me if they made me reviving these moments...

I don't know if you played after 1st Nov.... But the game became... magic, GM, RP... all so special.. so emotional.. so final fantasy...


Call me Crazy,
Yeah, I'm Crazy.

Bioware made Mass Effect.... not Bethesda. lol You are getting your developers mixed up. XD


As for an offline mode... I think the best bet at that is some independent person making one. However I'm sure they will require permission to distribute it and who knows if Square Enix will allow it.
