FYI I dont like MMOs but i can recognize when something is well done and FF11 was well done, not sure about 14..


XIV was horrible at launch. It's getting a lot better with each passing month, but 2.0 will be the last breath of air into the title I think to help reclaim itself. They are either going to pull off a miracle, or fail. However the guy in charge has been doing an absolutely fantastic job so I can see him pulling it off.

I played FFXI since day1 in NA and the start of that MMO made FF14 look like a perfect game, and according to Japanese players the game was even worse before the NA playerr ever saw it.

FF14 is not the game that was relased in 2010. Square Enix nesds to carefully market the the relase of the PS3 version (maybe 3 free months for PS+ users) to capture all of those who want to play it on the PS3, those who left after the first month, and those still playing the outdated FF11.



Can't wait to play it!

That sounds like a good idea, IMO.  It will definately help PS3 version sales

@wagram  ill take your word for it, as I have not played it since launch

What a disaster: how to destroy the FF brand - episode 6.

Trust me this is a good thing. what if they had made FF15 and it had come up with 8/10. and we know this 8/10 is about what a lot of reviews are saying, story, characters, and the delievery of that story.

so they know now whats wrong. its the same problem as FF13. they need to get better writers which is the key thing. its by no means a bad thing, because its a sequel to a game a lot of fans wont be getting, so they cant do any more damage they've already done with this.

i'm just hoping Wada is watching and has our FF12 team waiting for E3 to announce they've secretly been working on FF15 this whole time. hopefully...

I know I've always defended FFXIII, but I agree with this. Square Enix really need to sort out the development teams for Final Fantasy and create a Final Fantasy game more like XII, that will still be hated, but at least by a different group of Final Fantasy fans this time.

I think Square's best bet would be to change Versus XIII to XV, the Fabula Nova Crystallis games show no real connection and it was a stupid idea. Versus XIII will soon be completed and I think it can definitely stand on it's own as a new installment, not as a sequel or a tie-in.

The name "Versus" has been known for so long now they're probably better off dropping the XIII tag (as you say, it has no real link with FFXIII) and just calling it Final Fantasy: Versus.

oh come on, Im not so narrow minded I won't give them another chance.  Final Fantasy has given me too much happiness to throw it all away with one bad entry.  Besides, if they tweaked the battle system and gave us more exploration options, it could be good.  

And if it's bad the rant will be epic.  either way, we win!
