| Kenryoku_Maxis said: FFVIX is about as important as Aion, Warhammer Online and Star Trek: Online. In other words, its just another in a long line of similar MMORPGs made to just try to take its own small piece of the overcrowded MMO pie for a time until it stops making money. Based on the Final Fantasy name, hte previous titles established core fanbase and the high graphical output of the game, it'll probably last longer than most MMOs. However, will it 'impact' the market? Not really. If anything, it'll be labeled as just another peg on the WoW ladder. The only MMO that really looks like it'll have any chance to go up against WoW anytime soon is Star Wars: The Old Republic. And in Asia, POSSIBLY the Dragon Ball MMO, but they have been working on that for almost 6 years and still aren't releasing it, so it might as well be the 'Duke Nukem Forever' of the MMO world. |
I think Square Knows this (except for there is wada :P) but a small chunk out of the MMO pie based on just the FF name, makes more profits than any ot the other non online FF numbered onces. and I actually liked 11 for a month... i liked WOW for like 1.5 months, I don't like MMO's I decided after that
The problem with WoW is that it is higher than everquest (which still isn't dead yes?) and Star Craft... So I don't see anything killing wow, because people are invested in their level 10000 charcters and stuff
I don't the Star Wars: The Old Republic. I am excited about this game. But They said it has basically 6 stories as long as Kotor. With certain missions where your just buy yourself. Which seems like a heavy single playered Story based MMO. Which is why I'm excited for for KOTOR, I just don't think it's the one to knock WoW off the rock
