I doubt many will care or notice... this game will fail dismally imo.

 


Fail dismally?

You do know that Final Fantasy XI is more successful than any FF game right? Including VII.

FFXI was pretty huge success indeed. Here is proof of that. 117 milj revenue last year and it is pretty old game. No wonder that they made XIV also online.

in kowenicki's defense  - i'm pretty sure he meant the game will fail on consoles.  it's cool and all that this game will be on the ps3 but let's face the facts....a vast majority of the players will be on the PC.

Based on the communities it is actually the flip side. The requirements are slightly high. Especially since alot of FFXI players are jumping ship and their PCs are dated. So they found it easier to get the PS3 version. But, it got delayed sadly.


Your full of it.

 

I work in the mmo scene and your statement is faaaar from the truth.

 

I dare you to toss up some community sites backing your ridiculous claim.

 

Not only that  I'm a avid ffonline player...alot of folks are excited about ff14..and none of them are going ""omg my pc is soo old must spend 300$ for a ps3 to play a heavily down graded and dumbed down version instead of spending 99$ for a new vid card" etc.

 

I get your like gaga over anything ff and ps3 but...you need to get your facts right.

Visit Eorzeapedia.com or FFXIVcore.com or FFXIV Zam

There are many threads associated with just how disappointed people are that the PS3 version got delayed. People don't have the money to go out and buy new computers for 800

The PS3 is 300 dollars and will be able to run it at 720p fine. And a new graphics card is not the only thing needed for most people. CPU, GPU, Ram, and Video cards will be needed.

I'm glad that you are fortunate to have all the money in the world apparently, but not everyone has that style of luxury. and for reference, I DOUBT you work in the MMO scene....pal.

I read the thread and you beat me to my intended response.  I would also add FFXIVvalut.com.  The sentement I got from daily checking 3 or more FFXIV sites a day was that the slim majority (around 50%) intended to play on the PS3, while about 40% wanted to play on PC and 10% would own both (so they could play at the same time as a roomie or a g/f).  When the release announcement came out that slim majority sounded pretty disappointed, but the bulk of them said (75% as stab in the dark guess) griped a bit before admitting they would go ahead and get the PC version.  I think that a year from now some of those will have slipped back over to the PS3.  But from my hour a day of combing FFXIV sites it seems that the community that is on those sites with me is ready to go with the PC version in September.

However, upgrades will need to be made to many a PC to get this game running above Low settings.  FFXIV won't be Crysis 2, but its going to be a beast.
