SE making NEW MMO

[viion]

They churned out alot of cash this year and need to get it back.

They need recurring revenue to steady their ship rather than fluctuating net profits that can bomb any month.

MMOs give recurring stable revenue, more so than stand alone titles would anyway.

Makes sense to me that they'd go down this route.

But MMO's take significantly longer, require more people, and cost a lot longer, so in the short run MMO's is a bad idea and most not in SE's position probably wouldn't go that route. But SE is most likely looking for in the long term solution of profits after 5yrs.

All I really see is that they're doing so bad they need 3 MMO's just to stay stable. But a lot of companies do multiple MMO's so im not too surprised by this, look at perfect world or ncsoft, all have multiple mmos, though non really next gen as of yet.

Something futuristic/Sci-Fi like Star Ocean or Xenosaga

This wont be anything that rivals the FF name, nothing to be excited about...SE isn't going to put out competition to their own title, it'll probably not even be released over seas.

Its a Kingdom Hearts MMO.

Doubtful. If that was the case it would be announced by Disney with Square not Square alone.

Well it wasn't really "announced" more or less talked about in a fiscal report, and plus I thought that was an idea on the cutting board a while back.

They announced KH3 was coming eventually. Thats the only still not officially announced KH I know of.

Personally. Nier which released last year. Is my favorite video game of all time.

I haven't played that one as of yet, but that was the only other game I had thought about playing. =p

The music alone is worth it.

Going back to SE and MMO's. The team working on this third MMO is not the same team that working on XI or XIV.

Hell yeah. Nier is incredible. If my PS3 wasn't completely jacked I'd definitely be spending some more time in Nier. I have a newfound respect for you Cairdeas.
