Good news for the MMO PS fans I guess but I'll have to pass on this one just like I did with FFXI.
I have always loved Final Fantasy but I'm not sure if I'll be anticipating a game that demmands monthly fees to be played, especially in these crisis times.

Maybe that's a bad thing as well though and just proves how addictive they can be lol.
but for the people who did enjoy FFXI guess this is good new for you guys/gals.
Well it was time for a new FF Online.
But I am not really interested in MMO's. FF13 plz :P

also note there is a short clip of irealtime in there
They are considering 360 for this game, they went back and forth many times prior to the official announcement, Seems likely to me it will come out on 360 actually. Im just disappointed its an MMO, ill be waiting for FFXV....
having FFXI already on X360, for me makes no sense having somekind of restriction to put the game on the plataform, but what do we know. Show us the improvements over XI.
as for it being an MMO...well, if they improve on FFXI. XI had some good stuff but personally i found that overall it really didn't stack up to WoW (who is obviously the 800 pound gorilla everyone's trying to topple).
at the very least even NCsoft has realized they need to start upping the pacing of their games if they want to appeal to more than the narrowest subset of mmorpg-ers (note Aion), and i always found FFXI had a pacing that made even kmmos feel like hares.
I was so excited when they anounced it was an mmo i was disappointed. I play mmo's but FFXI never really clicked with me. I spent about a year and a half playing but I never really enjoyed. Just felt like I was playing it just to play it so I wouldnt be wasting the monthly fee.
but for the people who did enjoy FFXI guess this is good new for you guys/gals.
Then I saw the full name (something the Sony reps conveniently did not say . . . several times) was Final Fantasy 14 Online, and I actually felt pissed off. I try getting into MMOs, but so many of them are nothing more than grindfests. I was okay with that style of RPG 15 years ago . . . even 10 years ago. But I just cannot handle endless grinding in video games any more. I'd much rather be out somewhere living real life, than grinding in a game.
The thing is though, when you start playing an MMO, you tend to be more careful with your money when it comes to games. Games you were previously interested in might not warrant a purchase anymore. I used to hate the idea of a subscription but when I played WoW (for a couple of years) I found myself buying only maybe 3 or 4 other games a year, because I didn't really feel the need to be playing my console.
Maybe that's a bad thing as well though and just proves how addictive they can be lol.
Old Republic is the only MMO that may change my mind, and I'm still hoping they do something different with the payment model.
For those who worry about the fee, what is $10-$15 per month? Really, just about anyone can afford that. You easily spend that much on other junk each month. Why not spend it on a quality gaming experience?
