Forums - Sony - WHY IS IT A MMO?

Well because they wanted to take XI to the next gen, and thought it would be better to just make a new game, and so it is the XI team making this new game.

The big question is why they are main series games, it is annoying that I will have X, XII, XIII and then another gap to XV.... but anyway

I found KOTORO just as annoying, but oh well

Cause the cows are ready for milking!


wow..thats a harsh ban.

Not really. He just called me a cow because I'm interested in the game.


no he didnt.... lol.   he is referring to milking the series. surely.

Well he doesn't specify and he isn't a fan of Sony.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

lol, everybody was all excited, and then the "online" popped up and my heart dropped. It was an epic fail, imo. They saved the subtitle to try to make it more exciting. Ugh.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

For a few reasons.

1.MMO's are generaly cheaper to make than offline RPG's .
2.MMO's are potential more profitable than offline RPG's and for longer periods of time.
3.Square probably has some sort of legal obligation to give Sony a FF game , #14 happens to be it.


And we pretty much know for certain that this one isn't going multi-platform , Sony would ensure it was exclsuive to avoid embarassment (again) and Square Enix wouldn't want bad PR for lying twice about the exclusivity of FF.

It's coming to the PC, is multiplatform, and SE said they are looking at "other platforms" as well, so  unless that platform is the Wii, this is a timed console exclusive, which isn't exactly impressive for a "megaton"

Especially considering this is a MMORPG, and not a JRPG.

As did mine, Zen. I was prancing around the room out of happiness when Tretton announced it, but when I saw the logo... I stopped and sighed. Lol.

And besides MS would never allow a full fledged FF to go exclusive with Sony. No, not gonna happen I am sorry.

lol what do you call Versus child.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a spinoff...but FFVXIII, while possibly excellent, is no more a member of the main series than FF:Tactics is.

I wish VersesXIII was FFXIV, and the online FF game just didn't exist.

You know, they did it to us on purpose right. They knew the whole time that would happen.

wow..thats a harsh ban.  I am pretty sure with my limited intelligence that it was a reference to the milking of the franchise?  no?

On gamespot, Sony fans are referred to as "cows."

He was referring to Sony fans, and at the same time, using a pun, to complement their gamespot names, by inferring that they could be milked like real cows, in this case, milked referring to "the taking of money" and not actual milking, but it had a cute double meaning.

Anyway, I'm surprised at myself. I didn't explain that very well at all, lol.
