New Announcement....
"In an attempt to broaden the scope of A Realm Reborn, we have decided to implement content from other successful Square Enix titles. We are happy to announce that the first decision we have made is to include monsters and lore from the Kingdom Hearts series, including keyblades, a mysterious cloaked organization from a Northern continent, and possibly more! Stay tuned for more information, in the next Letter From the Producer."
Wow.....
Honestly I think this is an amazing idea. KH has so much to offer, and SE has a slew of other great games to borrow from. Keyblades will be -epic,- but I have no idea what job they will be for. I'm assuming gladiator, but who knows. Maybe they will release a special job for it. I wonder if this means that disney characters will make an appearance as well. It would be kind of cool to have Ariel or Winnie the Pooh show up somewhere in game. Honestly if you are taking this seriously you must not realize that this is an april fools joke. And I really think that it would be cool if they had a Sephiroth appearance in the coliseum in ul'dah. Further I think that this will attract a lot of younger players, especially fans of disney and of the kingdom hearts series.
I think it would be pretty epic as well if the heartless became a mob class in 2.0 as a result of this. It would pave the way to include content from other games like hitman and tomb raider. Also it would mean that classic FF characters could be brought in as fan service. I mean cids already there. We could use an Aerith or maybe a Celes in 2.0 to attract more people.
Either way, I think this is really positive, and I can really see FFXIV turning into an FFX-2 or FFXIII-2 type of game (both of which are awesome and super successful).
What do you think?
