Cause the cows are ready for milking!


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.

And he also masked it under a franchise milking wording...

Wow, I never thought I'd see this kind of sentence dissection on the internet, haha.



On a second note the graphics for a MMO are amazing... :P The fight scene on the ship is using the In-Game engine...
I still don't know... Square is actually hyping the game quite a bit...
They are saying they wanted to make the best Final Fantasy game ever and the only way to do that was make XIV into a MMO...
And if this doesn't have a subscription, the game will almost guarantee to be a huge hit, wether you want to believe it or not.



I heard it started out as a single player game, and then moved into online. The battle system is said to be similar to single player FF's... interesting, don't you agree?

If it's F2P, I'll definetely play.

Because MMOs are hugely popular? Because WoW has likely made more money than Final Fantasy VII-XII put together?

I disagree. WoW is hugely popular, MMOs aside from that are not.

EVE Online is pretty big. And unlike WoW, also fun.

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.

Sony was a little misleading about how exclusive this game is. The vice-president of SE sang quite a different tune about the release of the game. Maybe they are simply waiting to see how many people buy FFXIII for the Xbox before they go  ahead with FFIV as well. As long as sales are good on the 360, I think it is pretty much a guarantee that FFIV will be on all hi-def platforms.



 



The game is NOT EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!

Please understand it is on pc as well

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 should because thats what it is, & thats what it WILL be seen as by the general public in gaming stores.

The sooner my fellow PS3 fans understand this, the less overestimations of FF V 13 sales we'r gonna get.

Mega LOL @ FF Versus 13 will do 1 Million + in japan (If the PSP spin offs failed to do that I don't see a PS3 one doing it)



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

If it was a regular RPG.... I would have called them insane.... FFXIII, vsXIII, AgitoXIIII aren't even here yet...
