WHY IS IT A MMO?

For a few reasons.

1.MMO's are generaly cheaper to make than offline RPG's .
2.MMO's are potential more profitable than offline RPG's and for longer periods of time.
3.Square probably has some sort of legal obligation to give Sony a FF game , #14 happens to be it.


And we pretty much know for certain that this one isn't going multi-platform , Sony would ensure it was exclsuive to avoid embarassment (again) and Square Enix wouldn't want bad PR for lying twice about the exclusivity of FF.

It's coming to the PC, is multiplatform, and SE said they are looking at "other platforms" as well, so  unless that platform is the Wii, this is a timed console exclusive, which isn't exactly impressive for a "megaton"

Especially considering this is a MMORPG, and not a JRPG.

Sony was a little misleading about how exclusive this game is. The vice-president of SE sang quite a different tune about the release of the game. Maybe they are simply waiting to see how many people buy FFXIII for the Xbox before they go  ahead with FFIV as well. As long as sales are good on the 360, I think it is pretty much a guarantee that FFIV will be on all hi-def platforms.
