ROFLOL...The only console when it launches...errr...what about 3 months later in 2011?

About the online issue: most probably mildly disappointed people are "hardcore" FF fans, but think about WoW: it expanded enormously the user base compared to the already highly successful previous Warcraft games.

I think its great that FFXIV is online (as long as its free), with the release of FFXIII, FFversusXIII, and Tales of Vesperia that interest me, i think thats a handful of single campaign player JRPG for now. Never hurts to have a change of pace once awhile.

I agree.
To have free online it should follow the Neverwinter Nights model, that can be online, but isn't either massive or with persistent world, following a true MMORPG model involves costs too high to maintain the whole structure with only the game license payment and no monthly fees.
But maybe it's possible to allow both playing modes...

Dont waste your time FF XI sucked. Your better of p2ping for Lineage 2, not WoW

Yeah my reaction was the same. From "what?" to "ah online - NEXT!"

This won't be as big as FFXIII. FFXI on the Xbox360 did poorly and so will FF14. Besides I doubt it will be exclusive, since Square Enix said they are checking other platforms as well, including Microsofts.

I know there is a huge Final Fantasy Fanbase, but with FFXIII and FFvXIII, there is 1 major title and a spin-off already out in 2010. A third FF just for the online won't have a huge impact. So far, there is no MMO-game on a console you could call a great success like the ones on the PC.

Thanks for your constructive post, I just love posts like these.

Awesome video. I'm glad too see people are actually supporting SE. I see that there were a few people in that crowd who were dissapointed because it's online. But I was at my house doing the exact same thing, and when it said online I was like...."YES!!!!".

I love FFXI, and having been awaiting rapture forever.

Why would it change?....

Errm...the crowd reacting is in the video.sure they do not sum up the entire Gaming user base. but don't act like FFXI has users brimming on all fronts...
