the FFXIV trailer looks really good
i actually like the art style of FFXIV more than FFXIII and FFvXIII
i've never played MMORPG, FFXIV will be my first MMORPG experience



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Axumblade, you do know that XIV is former PS3/360/PC project Rapture, right?

Besides, I don't see Sony letting go fo something they announced happily at their conference...



who said FF14 is free to play on the last page

did someone say that?



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I could totally make any number of "BUT THEY LOST" exclusive jokes right now =P But I agree on this that it seems unlikely, but not out of the question at all.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Q: What influence have games like World of WarCraft have on the development of FFXIV?

A: As with WoW, we want to aim a bit for the casual user. However, we don't want to make a copy of WoW. We believe we will have things that are unique and will stand out from that game.

The live blogger from g4 said  "That "confirmation" of FFXIV being Free 2 Play seems shaky, but I could believe it if the game was based around a paid "premium" experience or micro-transactions."

Don't expect it to be free.

I suggest checking out a few PC ones, pretty good stuff. Will help you compare and contrast FF14's system. One of my personal favs is LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online)



I think it is a good thing they're aiming more to the casual user, in the sense that FFXI had an overly-complicated control scheme and you could only get a lot out of the game if you devoted tons of time to it.



@ darth, nothing but speculation, it is very unlikely

Anyway, FF XIV will be console exclusive to PS3 in 2010



I didn't follow the industry waaaay back in 2005-6, but were lost Sony exclsuives ever announced for the first time by Sony themselves?
