Is this meant to go up against FF 14 for ps3 only?

FF14 is PS3 only now?

FFXIV 360 is like the worst kept "secret" in the industry today.

If Microsoft and Square can come to some agreement over subscription fees, but I am doubtful it will be any time soon. I reckon the only time the developer of an MMO will give Microsoft a piece of the action is when things have slowed down and they decide releasing the game on a new platform will bump their new subs.

The contention seemed to be in some change over member allowance, with the implication being that MS wants only Gold members to have access.  Actually, I'd say MHFO being available to Silver members just took FFXIV 360's chances up a notch.

If it stays a (timed) PS3 exclusive, I'm leaning towards that being due more to Sony moneyhats than anything at this point.

Honestly, I don't think purely MMO games on home consoles are very big in Japan (but on handhelds, to an extent they are quite popular) even if the game had FF, DQ, or even MH in it.

Example: FFXI for the 360.

If Microsoft and Square can come to some agreement over subscription fees, but I am doubtful it will be any time soon. I reckon the only time the developer of an MMO will give Microsoft a piece of the action is when things have slowed down and they decide releasing the game on a new platform will bump their new subs.

The contention seemed to be in some change over member allowance, with the implication being that MS wants only Gold members to have access.  Actually, I'd say MHFO being available to Silver members just took FFXIV 360's chances up a notch.

If it stays a (timed) PS3 exclusive, I'm leaning towards that being due more to Sony moneyhats than anything at this point.

There should be a subscription that allows you to have free gold membership if you subscribe to MHFO. That would be the best scenario.

Actually, it looks like that's happening!?

I bet this is the compromise for Microsoft.  And I bet FFXIV carries the same deal, though it'll probably raise the subscription on 360 a little over PS3/PC.

I would buy a 360 if it was a Dino Crisis revival.

I though it might be something big/new, what a disappointment!

Yeah it is. I'm pretty sure that MS wanted the opposite since forever. As in, pay for gold membership, get MMO access for free.

Between Monster Hunter and Lost Planet, I just don't see much room for a modern Dino Crisis.  Basara similarly seems to have killed Onimusha.

Speaking of Basara, I'm a little surprised Microsoft didn't secure a Basara 3 port while they were shopping at Capcom?



quarashi on 26 January 2010

I like all the people talking about it's just a port to an unsuccessful PC game. I guess when we look at the dominant PC market in Japan it's easy to say this was a bomb...It's hard to overlook all of those lan centers around Japan which PC games prosper so well.

And to everyone calling it an MMO, it's just like any other MH game in Japan, there's a subscription fee. If we go by the logic, any game you pay a subscription for = MMO, than yea I can agree it's an MMO. But It's hardly that, just another MH.
