If FFXVII is a new online game... would you move inmediately?

[Stormfur]

I think there should just be a "Final Fantasy Online" (no number) that is continually updated and upgraded every few years. Of course that would mean new engine code all the time so at some point you're gonna have to differentiate them like "Classic" and current.

I'd play it as long as I can be a miqote

Uh, Endwalker isn't the last expansion. I've heard it's only the last expansion of the Hydealen/Zodriack arc.
Also it depends really. On the content and what the events and stuff are like.

they do them as long as they sell. so far 7.0 is a 100% thing. if there be no new big and good mmo then ff14 stay on top for longer. if new world or blue protocol just hit the spot then ff14 will shrink(don't believe they will really).

From what I hear they still get new subscribers to 11 so i'd imagine it still doing well and is very profitable for SE. I really hope they do something special and unexpected when it turns 20 in 2022.

I know I'm keeping an eye on it since I loved that game for a decade and will have a special place in my gamer heart.



Not to mention, It would take more than 2 years to make a new MMO, unless they secretly been working on it, hypothetically.

Well what we eventually knew as XIV 1.0 started as a project sometime in 2005. And XVI despite being produced by Yoshida was kept under wraps for 4+ years. So no one can say for sure that SE is not interested just because of what they answer in interviews.

[Gameovers]

If Yoshida is not the director of the game, I would play it. Tired of him using excuses like "it's too stressful" to gimp content, making it boring and unchallenging.

To be extremely fair.. that's the playerbases fault. I mean when people complain that they can't beat the solo dungeons in the MSQ, they have to put in things like very easy mode and stuff. He's going off how people play the content, and sadly most people just can't play the game. We the people who come here on the forums are a VERY small % of players.

[Gameovers]

Yes.

I'm tired of hearing the excuse "Technical Limitations".

Thats always going to be a thing. Everything hits a limit sooner or later.

[Rae88]

I wouldn't move over, but I would sub to both until I ran out of content in the new game.

The problem with new MMOs is there will always be a lack of content that will leave consumers a bit unsatisfied, so it'd be really hard to make it your main game or move to it. New World is having that problem currently. But I'd definitely support it

FFXI was online.
FFXIV is online.
So FFXVII should be the next MMORPG.

remember when the devs of the brilliant ffxi made ffxiv 1.0 and it was a very expensive mistake for four years? I dont think square will be so eager to replace xiv.

Most people can play the game. The issue actually isn't the issue of skill or having a disability. It's the small amount of players that just want to be lazy. Many of them just start throwing out the name of a disability they looked up on google as a tool to pressure game devs to make a game easier for them. It's not a problem unique to this game. The issue in this is that this small group of people who want to be lazy and have the game handed to them ironically put a ridiculous amount of effort into being as loud and annoying as possible. If they'd put like 10% of that effort into actually playing the game they'd finish all the content outside of extreme/ultimate/savage without any issues.

[TaleraRistain]

I'd give it a look. I'd play both if I enjoyed them both. Especially if they had something like SOE's All Access. I still maintain my EQ and EQII accounts with that.

[Lauront]

If Yoshi-P had as much influence in it as he does in XIV I wouldn't move at all.

Besides I don't want another game with the same design philosophy as XIV.
If someone wants a XIV like MMORPG they should stick with XIV and XVII should be a different experience.

Furthermore I have zero interest in a new MMO if it's going to involve hack 'n slash combat and homogenized job play.

If Yoshida is not the director of the game, I would play it. Tired of him using excuses like "it's too stressful" to gimp content, making it boring and unchallenging.

Seconded. And maybe if they had the HW writers on it for the story part.
