New MMORPG?

[Stormpeaks]

I never disagreed with that, believe me, the community is at fault as much as the devs, it's a problem on both ends, if they dare create new content that requires effort, it will get bashed down, and if they dont they'll get bashed down by people that want content that require effort

there's no winning really

Hi everyone! This post is JUST for fun and speculation. I know Yoshi-P has said in an interview not long ago that he would love to make another MMORPG before he retires (which I think he's like 49 or 50? so like within the next 15 years it seems?), and wasn't like joking when he said it, so I'm curious what everyone thinks about this?

I know Square Enix has been developing a lot of games using UE5 (half the video games industry is tbh cause it's an incredible advancement in technology) such as KH4, DQXII and I guarantee FF7:R(just hasn't been officially announced yet). I know FF16 is right around the corner now, so it got me thinking if he were to get the a-okay to do something like this and started planning and creating next year in 2024, that's only like 4 years away or so from the PS6(which I'm sure will be very powerful especially if you mix it with the tech in UE5 as it advances over the next 4-5 years) and on average it takes like 5-6 years to make these kinds of games, so I'm curious if anyone else thinks this could ever happen if they were to use UE5 for a new MMORPG? We know it supports a lot of players in big maps(like fortnite) and UE5's one world partition system breaks those massive maps into a grid based system only loading in what's needed(and then ofc nanite renders foliage now in addition to geometry with lumen lighting everything you can see for GI), and I think it's plausible they could make something incredible for the next-gen as the time arrives.

Yes I know he wants to support FF14 for the next 10 years and they are still putting a lot of work into it, but like 11 it will probably not need so much support as the next few years go on and eventually they will want to start creating something new, and I would love it to be a new MMORPG type game! Look at the recent "Chrono Oddysy"(spelling?) MMORPG game coming out on UE5, it looks wonderful. If they can do it, why not Yoshi-P's team?

What do you guys think? Again, this post is just for fun and speculation, I don't need anyone yelling at me please...

I saw 2 mmorpg in UE5, they are both trash. there are 2 more coming soon and... we'll see.
Reason? There is more than "graphic" in a mmo. Expansions, for example.

UE5 is good for single player videogames, or when your company doesn't want to invest too much money for its own engine because they don't trust their own game and they give a lifespan of a few year.

Tomb raider is ok, Kingdom heart 4 is ok, dragon quest xii is ok, "final fantasy online" isn't.

Either I dont remember the Thread this came from, or I simply wasnt there. But to give a reply to this.....

No, this is NOTHING...but a Good Idea. Inventory is pretty small, or at the very least it does fill up very quickly. a Separate Materials Storage

I would be up for trying a new MMO from Yoshi-P and his team. He may not be perfect, but he has shown he can lead a games development well and I would be interested in seeing what he could do with another IP or something. SE though? Outside of FF they are just dropping the ball over and over again with all their NFT rubbish ect. Even with the FF name, I would have worries if XVII was a MMO.

All that said, I hope/think FFXIV still has a long life ahead of it, even if Yoshi perhaps leaves for other things one day.

I think a new MMO built from the ground up with the latest unreal engine with a subscription based model is what many people are craving for. The graphics update will help but lets be real. FFXIV is great but in the next 10 years these graphics and code will not sustain everyone

As long as their server actually responds to commands then yes go for it.

That's because just about every time they have tried doing something different in FFXIV, players ended up disliking it. So they are sticking to the same old formula that they know works.

Which means that if Yoshi P wants to actually do something different, rather than taking chances with FFXIV that he know won't succeed due to the playerbase, it's better for him to create something new and try to cater to a different audience.

Just need the dev team to take risks and release brand new content that is fun with replayability rather than following the same exact formula for 10 years. Right now the content they release dies out within a week or two once it's cleared because most of the stuff is seen as "Glam". Yes there is a lot to do in the game if you go back doing old stuff in previous expansions but here I'm specifically speaking of the current patch we play on. I think it would be something exciting going forward another 10 years if they go out of their comfort zone.
