Multiverse Final Fantasy MMORPG (What could have been)

[PSxpert2011]

re OP,

...

However, when it comes to fan-service and borrowed elements, no FF game does it better than XIV.

...

Stuff that would be fantastic to see added to FFXIV:

• FFI : The four fiends with their own elemental dungeons
• FFIII: Evoker Class → Summoner Job
• FFIV: Visit to the moon, magnetic cave, Demon Wall
• FFV: Gilgamesh (or like FFXII version)
• FFVI: True Auction House, Colosseum
• FFVII: Ruby/Emerald weapons (maybe when the cap hits 90)
• FFVIII: Triple Triad, Quezacoatl as a Summon
• FFIX: Chocobo Hot and Cold, Treasure Map hunting
• FFX: Shoopuf style mounts for crossing special terrain into new areas.
• FFXI: BC fights, Nyzul Isle type dungeon, Large scale events, endgame.
• FFXII: Mob Hunts, Zodiac Espers
• FFXIII: Voice Acting
• FFT: Chemist/Engineer Class, more building on a "Job Tree" type system

Oh yeah! Stuff like this should've been done as a concept from the start but still the game has flaws stalling the initial break it needs to forfill it's true potential.

XIV has so many mistakes and draw-back that veteran of FFXI are thinking "WTF!". SE still hasn't shown what they've learned from FFXI and used what worked.
Example: Why isn't there a simple to use search function and can't I see the location of my party members while checking the list for details still?

We need to help SE figure out the problems with 14(apparently-since they can't do it themselves) before 2.0 so these dreams, wishes and request can make light in a proper, professional manner.

Its a neat idea I guess but I vastly prefer playing a new storyline with new characters... Especially in my MMO.

Chibi is a form of art.

You missed the point entirely.
Its about mantaining proportions and a canon.

Kuja has a different canon, for example.

And even then you can't justify the arm disproportion.

I have tagged you as an internet bully officially. All you do is talk negative and put people down. I havnt seen one positive thought come out of your brain in all of these pages. Just saying. Actually FF9 is probably one of the most original and old school referencing ff of any game.

Opera - 6
Biggs, wedge.
Garland
Weapons
Vivi
etc.etc.

Summons (before 10 decided to rename them for some reson?!)
Great storyline (Funny/dramatic plot twists, hell queen brahn dying, towns getting blown up! Give me a break FFXII had a garbage storyline, the voice acting was crap, its combat system was equally garbage. At least let me control my freaking team. Gambits were balls) The idea of the world was amazing based off of Tactics though.

Yall gotta stop thinking on a track why does a multiverse have to be like Kingdom hearts or Dissidea. HEll look at the two they are both multiverse and both completely different so why cant this concept?
Also just so everyone knows I hate every ff game that wasnt on a ps1 or lower. I think FFX was garbage and the only reason i mentioned it and gave it any sort of credit is because it was the beggining of the end not the end.

FACT: LOST ODYSSEY WAS THE ORIGINAL STORYLINE FOR FFX AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FFX! Would have been a better game.

Okay, so here's what I think:


The game could work if you the player were a real person in our world, dreaming about all the different FF games. Each zone would be one of the different FF games. Different areas of the zones reflect different points in the timeline of the game(zone) you're currently in. One zone would be for like levels 1-10, another game would be 11-20, etc. Each zone would have an instance/raid that would allow you to party up and fight the bosses from the respective game. A "hard mode" would exist for all raids that would allow max level characters to party and kill again, but the fight would be different. You'd start out as one class, but every time you change zones you have to change to one of whatever classes exist in the game you're currently playing in. The thing that would keep people playing the game after all the zones/games and killing the hard mode bosses would be PVP and extra open world "events" that would happen, which could be explained as "Some other dream is trying to invade your current dream" or something like that.


Lots of extra thought would have to be put into it to make it a viable option, but the only question that matters is, how many people would play it? I doubt very many people would do that, tbh, and since not many people would play it, it won't be made. Making a game is a huge money sink if you already foresee it failing.

Actually, I like the idea of elements from the other games aside from the heroes... We are the heroes of FFXIV.

They should just keep giving subtle nods to previous games like they have been so far. "What's your name? Sefiross? XxxSephirothxxX?" Stuff like that. Unless a game is a direct sequel, (which I haven't been too crazy about the ones they've made) I don't feel they should inject past characters into a brand new titled game. Dissidea was a bit different altogether, but seeing physical manifestations of previous characters in this game would kind of ruin it for me. This game should stand apart from the others.

Did you play kingdom hearts?

I was talking to my cousin who grew up playing RPG's with me and we were discussing how Square was before Enix merger and how the games have changed. What inspired during that conversation was a rather neat idea.

Its hard to argue that Square Enix has made a well conceived Final Fantasy title since Final Fantasy X (FFX). It feels as though they have lost their way. (This is not including Final Fantasy XI "FFXI") I would even argue that the only reason why Square Enix has been so successful with titles post FFX is through the weight that carries with the Final Fantasy title. Recently major websites have stated that Japanese companies are loosing their way, that Final Fantasy should die off, and even producers from Square Enix have been quoted saying that fans need to give up on remakes that would obviously make the company tons of money.


When considering the most famous JPRG's of all time you will always run into the more popular Final Fantasy titles such as FFIV,FFVI,FFVII,FFVIII,FFX. So the question is what if Square would have put all these titles together to form a Final Fantasy MMORG of epic proportions?

Familar Faces and Races, Epic villains we have all come to love, races that fans of the series were begging to be able to play again, Epic stories that could be elaborated, pre established geography.

Imagine yourself starting in Baron castle and meeting Kain Highwind and Cecil, or Going to Arieths flower shop or Tifas 7th heaven, watching blitz ball in Zanarkand. Fighting Kefka, Sephiroth, Garland, Kuja, Hojo. Fighting all the most epic hidden bosses such as Osma, Emerald and Ruby Weapons, scaling the Mage tower. Why couldn't this have transpired we may have had the MMORPG that had style, familiarity, and the WoW killer of the century.

I came from a backround that was Capcom in a fighting game scene that allowed the players to be heard. So if you are at all interested in seeing this come to fruition no matter how improbable it seems. (I get the logistics that FFXIV just came out) Maybe we can see something like this in the future. So I encourage you all to post your thoughts and opinions both pro and con and let your voices be heard. If people are adamant enough anything is possible.

I'm all for that idea and i even suggested it before. Problem is that most pple here never played the other FF games. Most only played XI and if you suggest taking something from other FF games they say it's wrong. But if you suggest gear swapping or wtv we had in XI then it's a blessing and that it should be done because they are both from the same company.... as if XI was the only FF title for square..... see the pattern here?
