Will there ever something else?

SE already stated that the next MMO will be in a pre-existing Final Fantasy world at the time of release. Which means that it will take place in one of 3 plausible games; 9 obvious choice due to the expansiveness and varying race selection, 12 again for similar reasoning to 9 and the already mmo gameplay, and 13 because they've stated it to be a 10 year franchise so it's likely they'll put an mmo in that world as well. How happy I am about any of those remains to be seen.

Final Fantasy XI is definitively the best MMO I've played yet due to the quality and diversity of the community. Even when I don't have anything to do, I still enjoy spending time hopping around my various linkshells chatting with people from the comfort of my moghouse. Every other MMO I have played, everyone seems to be in such a rush to get things done, they lose the relationships they could have developed. Pick up groups I get in FFXI compared to the ones I got in Vanguard or WoW or Everquest 2 are just plain more fun. I've been told that games like WoW you need a solid guild and you'll enjoy the game a lot more, but in FFXI I've noticed that there is a far greater number of linkshells that are solid groups of people proportionately. In most games I've found that 70% or more of the population is severely incompatible with my play style, where in FFXI the ratio is vastly lower, closer to 10%.

I think that another MMO produced by SE with the knowledge they've gained from the past year or so especially will be quite a thing to behold. All of the issues that were in this game, I blame on SE being a console producer and not having much understanding of the MMO world. Now that they've learned what to do and what not to do with an MMO, I think they have a lot of potential to make an amazing game with their next release. I can guarantee that I will pick it up without hesitation, which says a lot for me because I usually have to do a few trials for games before dropping the cash on a subscription.

Anyone heard of any new FFXI online games or a MAJOR (not expansion) change to the current FFXI?

I mean its so old now, its almost impossible to start over or start new. It is not at all the game it used to be, and I refused to do anything over again when everyone around me willl just have multiple 75s and be done with everything.

Do you think there will ever be anything new? Some pondered a FFXI-II a while back, but it isnt happening.

thoughts?

this game is just old now. Most people stay for their friends. I mean..basically everyone is or should be done with almost all of the content. I cant imagine many people are new on any of the servers lol

I truly loved this game, but ive just done everything and dont want to redo it. I LOVED leveling to 75, and playing with friends, but all my friends quit as did I, and tbh i would pay $500+ for a game of the same quality of FFXI, but with 2008 graphics and obviously a completely different plot



:biggrin:

Why those lame similar thread of you the past weeks? "Wow... you still play this game" or "What keeps you playing" etc...
If you miss this game so much, start a new account w/o hacking this time ...

And there are people who play this game not just for their friend but for fun.
 
I'd like to meet a guy who is completely finished with WotG, considering the content itself isn't finished.

Agreed. One has been far enough, but I'm certain they'll make an Ivalice Alliance MMO, of course. Which, as usual, will have the fangirls screaming for more Balthier, and the fanboys screaming for more Fran.

For Timwakefield:
Spoiler:
Fran dies in the first expansion for said MMO
 
Aion looks pretty cool. I might have to give that one a try once it comes out.

At Fanfest 2007 they said the next gen MMO is "not" FF based, but something new.

Yes, that is correct. SE has never announced a sequel to FFXI, does NOT mean that it is not another Final Fantasy title. There is a distinct difference. Sequel means that it takes place or is related to the original in at least most facets. This new mmo they are working on is slated to exist in a *different* final fantasy world.

I never said sequel?

But I do recall them saying that the next MMO is not related to Final Fantasy (note no XI or other number).

Didn't Guild Wars allow you to transfer characters from one version to the next?

You can merge the new campaigns (read: they aren't expansions because they *can* work standalone) with existing ones, and carry pre-existing characters between the realms.

Guild Wars 2 will allow anyone to migrate their character from Guild Wars into GW2.

Which is the selling point for me.

Not all of us are as...decorated, as you. Believe it or not, a lot of people still are on promvy's. Hell, a lot of people don't even have zilart complete yet.

I agree with you though, FFXI is showing it's age. The game is nothing short of amazing, Its the only mmo (and I have played nearly all the pay to play ones and just about all the free ones) that really caught my heart. It has its problems, less now then before, but it's still showing the wrinkles and losing the hair.

Pretty much though, nothing's really on the market. Eve,Wow, Lotro, and FFXI are now currently the top tier mmo's.

Good news is, this year will hopefully change the mmo community for the better. Many big hit mmo's will be fighting each other and the current giants for the bigger slice of the limited mmo population, odds are one of them should be good. Huxley,Warhammer, Age of Conan, Spellborn, and Aion. My point is, a big migration from a lot of the old mmo's will be happening soon, and no matter how much we love the games we used to play, we all move on eventually.

My personal hopes go for Aion, asian mmo's are really well done (FFXI, for example?) . My only real dislike is their "grind" fetish. But, that should be less of a problem with current mmo's. The only reason grinding became a asian mmo staple is because it was designed to help get the asian population into mmo's by making the games easy (through more repetitive action then usual.) and it kind of stuck with them as the way a normal mmo should be.

This day and age, they're as sick with grinding as we are. The "grind" mmo market is saturated and undesired, mmo's like that simply can't survive anymore. Aion, for example, is an asian mmo designed from the ground up to appeal to the western culture but still incorporate all the delicious things I like about asian mmo's.

It gets my vote for hopefully best mmo of the above stated, with age of conan a close second. Here's some videos if any wants to take a peek.

Keep in mind the game is still in early beta, and I'd suggest watching most of these to the end.

A look at a few areas (lovely watch! All in game too.):

Any idea of the release of Aion, I would love to try it out.

Looks like Aion is expected to be released around September.
 
That vidio of Aion is cool. While the fight looks cool, it will be how you control it that has me wondering. I'l try Age of Conan till then. Level grinding is fine if its fun, has to be more then automatic now to people to like it, age of conan has you controling every swing, where to swing... and a bit more.

I'm basicly done with FFXI tho, stayed around a extra year just helping friends for there help with my excalibur. Team fortress 2 drew me away from FFXI :p

Shouldnt affect bandwidth at all the raphic is held on your local machine, the server just reports where you are in the game the local pc does the rest.
 
i didnt really mean to make this into a why do you play ffxi thread, really was just interested what else was out there.

aion looks cool, and I do hope SE comes out with something else, because as much as I didnt like SE, I LOVED FFXI (ironic yes I know hehe)

anyways, I know a lot of you stay for friends, but I mean...it isnt uncommon for groups of friends to change games i guess .

anyways yeh
