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.

On that I agree.  MMO's just don't work that well on consoles. For example how do you use text chat without keyboard? It would be incredibly slow. Hotkeys are also must with MMO's. I still think that it will sell also decent amount on PS3 but most of the sales come from PC version of course like you said.

You do know that you can plug a keyboard in any of the PS3's USB port, right? ¬_¬

Funny how you know games will fail before they are even released.

that is what i meant..  MMO = PC  as far as I am concerned.


This is true, but FF has quite a vast audience on every console, so whichever will get its version of FFXIV will make a fair amount of users happy.

And MS doesn't cut a nice figure being greedy on games that for their very nature (true for any massive multiplayer online game with persistent worlds, not necessarily role playing) put the bulk or even the whole of online resources costs on the publishers' shoulders and that normally don't require any extra service from MS (or any other 3rd party for what matters) unless developers and publishers find it attractive to hire MS instead of providing them themselves.

It'll going to fry and freez your PS3, just like what happened to the 360 when in Besieged battle.  PC is the only way to go for any MMO.

What baseless assumptions those are. ¬_¬

FF XI ran just great on the PS2.  I see no reason why it should be different for XIV on the PS3.

Don't blame SE, blame Microsoft's shoddy engineering.

Countless games can do that to a 360 (Forza, Halo, Gears...)
