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

FFXI was doing quite well when FFXIV 1.0 launched and they also still continued to release new content for that title after FFXIV launched. IMO I think it was done more as a way to "update" the game engine of sorts since FFXI was hitting the point of looking visually dated along with moving to a interface system less reliant on menus and menu command macros for general gameplay. As such I feel like the next MMO in the FF series will come about when they decide they feel the game engine for this title is outdated enough that they want to use a new one.

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.

Hence why the "if".

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