FFXIV 1.0 Local

I was about to suggest that. Recording your cutscenes with your character in them. Cause yes, watching other people's characters in the cutscenes on youtube doesn't really hold the same importance or magic :/ Burn them to a playable DVD so that you can watch them; maybe even hire a few friends to do the voice acting for some of the text based cutscenes lol

And quite frankly, it IS asking too much of them to make an offline version. They'd have to convert everything (again) into an offline format, and then integrate how the monsters behave and whatnot into it..something that could take them longer than it took to rebuild ARR.

This scenario for rebuilding has happened once before too: when making XI for the ps3? "We'd rather just make something new." That "new" was XIV.

If you really don't understand why it would be asking too much of SE to basically go back into development on what is essentially a dead game to make it into a stand alone single player game, there is little point in having a conversation with you about the subject. So good luck on your request.

So sorry to offend your good senses, sir. >_>

What about opening it up to free server play, like they do with Ragnarok Online or World of Warcraft. The on,y reason they could not do it with Final Fantasy XI was because of Playonline and you neededto atuakky pay for it still.... However, Square Enix did give ProjectXI a cease and desist....

making it free server pretty much giving all of your trade secret to the public
will you do that?

That's true. But at that point, with the servers down, they will no longer be making any money off the game. So why would they care?

It's like what id has done with Wolfenstein 3D. The game no longer generates revenue for them, so they made it open source. You can download the source code for the game and do whatever you want with it now.

Its not that simple to just throw away something that you spent years to develop, event if its no longer generate incomes to them

anyway, I will just pity you because you miss the oppotunities SE give us and not record the event while you can

It probably wont happen, but making 1.0 open source would be preety dang sweet. That is all.

Also, why is everyone so belittling on these forums?

Bitter from lack of Alpha invites/no XIV to play during the holiday break.

Also I agree, 1.0 being open source would be pretty sweet. Prob never happen though Lol

pretty much this

No it isn't. I gave them a lot of money for this game. And I don't even want to think about how much of my money they got for FFXI.
