Do you think square enix will continue making new MMOs after this project?

[ShiloEET]

As the title states, do you think square enix will have more MMOs on the market one day or do you think they will stick to one product ala Blizzard and WoW.

edit: also how would you feel as a player if square enix made a new final fantasy mmo while you were still playing FF14?

Square will stick with FFXIV for a long time. Remember they had FFXI for many years. It will take many years for a newer online FF. The market will change till then and things will be really different by then. It is more profitable to stick with 1 good MMORPG than throwing money on a new which may fail. FF14 2.0 was a success and now they need to maintain that success. So no do not expect a new online FF for the next couple of years.

It's much too early to think about yet another FF mmo.
Maybe it would be something to think about in about five years from now, but I think I'd rather see them turn another franchise into MMO.

Yeah that's true but what about Parasite Eve or Kingdom Hearts, etc. These are the two series that come to my mind.

SE already has 3 active MMO titles on the market

Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XIV
Dragon Quest X

So they already aren't staying with just one MMO project currently, and 2 out of 3 of those games are Final Fantasy titles.

They also had a fourth MMORPG as well - Front Mission Online, but it was shutdown ages ago. And that also doesn't include Fantasy Earth Zero which SE developed on behalf of another publisher (which they then relinquished all control over), but that too was shut down, so I guess that doesn't really count.

Fantasy Earth Zero

Theres a private server for Fantasy Earth Zero now if you still wanna play it. Anyways I can see another MMO being released at some point. Even with years of MMO expirience, ff14 managed to have a rocky start at 1.0, a fun pace at 2.0, and a bit of slow cruise in 3.0. (in contrast to FFXI its still pretty darn good) THough I'm not completely sure the world is as it should be and maybe Yoshi sees it that way too, like all the instances and such. Before a new MMO comes out I'm sure one MMO would be pushed aside at some point or some devs moved to a new project, hopefully being a new and improved FF MMO. Lol, Final Fantasy Re-Reborned (or Revengeanced XD)

i would think, with the older style of mmos going out (not the p2p mode, thats doing just fine) squre would in the future do a more modern style mmo. with live action combat so to speak. they have the ability. and im fairly sure theyd get a VERY large crowd. and they DEFINITEly would not go f2p lol. for multiple reasons. one, as the history shows. pay to play, while, as the name states, requires payment, in the end, lasts longer, and is a far better investment. more free to play mmos have shut down, then ANY of the mmos that have used the p2p model. it wont happen soon, as ffxiv is still a very large source of income or them, but, it will likely happen.

In the long run, I would hope they do, but that would probably depend on the market at that point in time and whether or not the company wanted to continue with Mmo's or go in another direction by then.

If they started reorganizing dev teams and gearing up for a new mmo project while I'm still playing and enjoying this one, i'd probably feel a little bit abandoned but I'd get over it, pretty much how I felt last time they did this. If anything, I'd probably be a little quicker to give the new one a try and see how I like it.

I doubt it MMOs are no longer what they once were. MOBAs are the new money maker so maybe an SE MOBA that has FF and other SE franchises, akin to Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm.
