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?

[Riardon]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Blizzard doesn't stick to one project...? What even is this thread?

OP meant, Blizzard only sticks to one MMORPG. Which is Wow. Though I'm no Blizzard expert, so enlighten me if they have another MMORPG.

Oh for the love of god, please no >,< We are going a have community of weebsters raging at each other >.>

Replying to the OP, I'm sure they will. Even if SE doesn't make a new dev team, if Yoshida is still around, he will probably make a new one. He clearly stated that he loves MMO's and FF, that's why he commandeered the sinking SS1.0 ship.
One day, maybe in another few years, FFXI will finally come to a close. Maybe then if FFXIV's assets are big enough, a new project may begin.

But hey, I'm a optimist

[Dererk]

No I don't see them making a new one for a long time.

On another topic though I can see more stuff getting added to this cause once FFXI finally closes most likely the staff will be going here.
