Multiverse Final Fantasy MMORPG (What could have been)

[SafeOnBlock]

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.
