Honestly, I'd play a Final Fantasy MMORPG if it took place in Ivalice. And if I could role a Moogle.

And if that Moogle's class was Riskbreaker.

Right after I finished jizzing all over my pants.

I would have preferred the Ivalice races too. Fuck, I would have preferred FFX's humans/guado/al bhed/ronso races over FFXI's. I do hope that they add at least a couple new races to the mix, at the very least.

Square dropped the ball on Moogle PCs in XII.  The lack of Ivalice's diversity reflected in the cast really bothered me more than anything else.  I think they tried to bullshit excuse it by claiming that Humes are the only race with the inclination for this shit.  I would have at least liked a Bangaa PC.

I agree on all counts. For as varied the race in Ivalice are, there's no reason why the PC team should have only one non-human.

Ivalice MMO? I'd be all over that on principal.

Well, FFXI did have four expansions already...

I still maintain SE learned a lot from FFXI and the current game is about as unrecognizeable from the original as it could be without completely overhauling it in a way that would be impossible given the limitations of the PS2's technology.

since XIV is being developed by the same guys who've been adding the decidedly decent parts of XI (Treasures of Aht Urghan), I am cautiously optimistic for the FF WoW clone we wanted from the start.

Well, FFXI came out two full years before WoW, but I think I get what you're saying. In any case, I'm cautiously optimistic as well.

Pretty sure everybody was asking for WoW before WoW actually came and delivered.

(Since all WoW ever was was a straight-up EverQuest clone that simply wasn't run by fucking idiots.)

...

(In other words, don't get your hopes up for a Square MMO being good.)

Liveblog on FFXIV press conference.  Will update with bigger details.

Same races included because FFXI players are nostalgic beardos.  No substantial connection between the game worlds; presumably similar FF tropes.

Wow, the press isn't wasting any time...

They admit WoW influence and want to aim for more casual players.  Stuff like Level Sync is getting carried over and they want solo progression to be available from the start.

They are maintaining worldwide, non-regional servers.  Ugh.

Somebody asked if they'd have some process by which longtime FFXI players could transfer to XIV or get a head start or something, which is a stupid question, but the response was that they want people to play both games.  Megalol, sure, but it probably means they'll be different experiences, insofar as any FF is different from the others.

Q: Will you try to move players from XI to XIV or will they be separate communities?

A: It's up to the community themselves. We envision users that will hopefully play XI one day and XIV another. They will be independent, but users are free to play both.

 :wakka:

Good to hear about the solo stuff, though.

The scene of the Galka fighting all the little floaty pod-people from the video is using the ingame engine.

Holy shit.

They want more "many vs. many" traditional RPG battles this time around. 

" The player can grow & develop in a more natural way without putting too much weight on the player. We will expand the job system to make it fairly different from the one in FFXI. "

asheronscallol

"Another very important concept that takes a different direction from FFXI, for FFXIV we want to make it so the player can choose to play solo, in a party, 40 minutes, all-day... there will be content for ALL of those play styles and systems for all of those play styles."

So it looks like FFXIV is going to be a post-WoW MMO.  Anybody who's paid attention to my post history at all should know I think such a game, if pulled off (lol), would signify the end times.

They're finally giving up on PlayOnline! Well, except for people still playing FFXI, I imagine.

FFXIV not necessarily a PS3 exclusive:

Quote
See, they'd like to clarify yesterday's announcement that the game was "exclusive" to the PS3. It's not. There'll also be a PC version. Following that, however, a carefully-worded statement said "in terms of all other hardware, including Microsoft consoles, we are considering all other options at this time".

I've been doing a new playthrough of Final Fantasy 6 Advance on my GBA during bus rides to work and I'm just getting the airship right now.

In an effort to make this more challenging or just play the game from a different angle, I'm using only the characters I practically never touch otherwise. Celes, Locke, maybe Gau, Terra when I can. It's definitely more engaging but I still hate Gau despite how good he is right now in the game.

Any ideas how to make this more difficult without making it a retarded slog? I guess just running with two or three guys instead of the full four would be potentially good times. I could also just cut out magic entirely, maybe besides cure and such after battles.

the problem with the gba version is if you tape down the a button on the river your batteries will probably run out before you hit level 99.

Anyway, hit up the  G FAQS and poke around a bit, there are all sorts of challenge guides posted for pretty much every Final Fantasy a f a i k.

Don't use magicite.  Just stick to everyone's innate stats and leave magic the sole domain of magic users.

It's actually not that challenging, but it brings the balance closer to FF4, which is nice.

You know, for all the bitching I hear about the "Easytype" or whatever release of FF4 (hereafter referred to as FF2 because I'm :america:), it really does have the perfect balance.  Every time you enter a dungeon it's like WOAH-OH THIS IS KILLING ME YOU GUYS and then you soldier on for a couple of levels and usually find the right equipment to fight them with lying around so that by the time you get to the boss you're basically just steamrolling over all these fuckers whilst gaily waving the bird at them.

This is how every JRPG should work forever.
