FF XIII Versus announced for XBox 360 at E3 2009. That would be a likely scenario.

ooh its not going to be FF, dont tell me there going to try and compete with Blizzard or someone else in that class |
Nah, I wouldnt expect them to try to be blizzard at all. They have a vastly different fanbase, very similiar to how JPRG's and WRPG's are seen by most gamers. FFXI is still very big in JP so I would expect thier next MMO to be geared more towards thier current fanbase. FFXI could have been alot popular in the west though, its just that its so damn unforgiving. The learning curve can be very brutal at times. For example, I was able to go from ffxi and pick up WoW and just own shit from the start. Was able to become imo pretty damn good at the game fairly quick. You cant do that with ffxi, and I think alot of ppl try it and get frustated because it seems so daunting at 1st. That in itself could be a quick way for SE to expand thier fanbase with this next MMO, make it more user friendly out the gates. Make it easier for ppl to get started and established.
