Holy f**k. Finish your current projects already. CG looks great though. I hope by online, SE means online like White Knight Chronicles, not FFXI.

1.8 - If true..
this will be huge. I've been wanting to play XI, but never got around to it. I can only imagine the kind of epic scale this game will produce, and finally I'll have a MMO to play on my PS3. I can't wait to see more..

1.10 - This is one of the biggest bombshells ever in E3, Microsoft and FFXIII last year is dwarfed in comparison (mainly because they only announced a game which was already announced a couple of years earlier).
Also I'm pretty sure that Sony won't let exclusivity drop away from them this time because it wouldn't have been emphasised that this will be released "only on Playstation 3".

Its being made by there online division a completely different part Of SE it wont or hasn't interfered with FF13 at all so get your facts straight people. They have been working on 14 for years already we all knew S-E been working on a new MMO and we finally found what it was damn you 360 fan boys are impossible... Talk about sour grapes lol.

MMO means, Massive Multiplayer Online Game.
It also means that you have to pay a monthly fee to play it which single handed erases it from my list just like it did with FFXI.

Gaming is already too expensive and it's not being made by the core FF Team.

1.22 - online.....only?
This looks more of a sequle to FF11 rather than a real new game. Especially how it is being released the same year as 13. At first I thought FF13 versus was being renamed as 14 then I saw the tag of it being online. That made me think it might be another FF11 online only type of game.

We will know more as the info comes out.

I do hope its not an MMO like FFXI, I dont have the time to sink 1000s of hours into an MMO.

We know the games online but I would like to see a more casual experience with more emphasis on story and not lvl grinding/uber item bragging rights.

Alternativly I would like a single player game with the online element more of a co-op, rather than an online only game.

Still it will be very interesting to see where this goes.

1.25 - Sony delivers again..
I bet anything this deal was done before last years E3. Sony had to pretend to eat crow this past year when in reality they decided to trade off FF13 exclusvity for FF14 exclusivity. Also it looks like they did a similar deal with rockstar and now its come back to bite microsoft in the ass.

All those who keep going on about how sony does not know what their doing need to stfu from now on, sony haven't been around for 15 years for nothing.

I read that SE if far less profitable then they were years back, I bet sony is publishing this game to cement it as ps3 only game. It a win for both companies i think.

I am not excited about FFXIII after seeing the demo. But I am very excited for FFIV because if anyone is going to make a proper MMORPG, Square-enix has the capability to do it. And the characters aren't weird cross dressers, FINALLY. It looks semi-serious. Hopefully it stays that way.

You forgot Left 4 Dead 2 is also an expansion pack. and PS3 owners also get Quantum Theory. I'm hoping that it's good

Played FFXI for 6 years. This games announcement made me explode in my pants 7 different ways.

I knew there was a new FF MMO that was going to be unveiled at E3, but the fact it's the same universe as XI just blew my mind. I can't wait to make a new Tarutaru and get treading through the new vana'diel in 2010. I hope they have a beta later this year, because I will do all I can to get into it. :)

just looking at this post it sure seems that e3 really brings out the scum in gaming.. both xbox and sony fanboys are such scums i sometimes wonder how they manage to achieve anything in life

yes you fanboys know exactly who you are and i bet you aren't particularly proud of being a fanboy but you do it anyway.. it's like a drug to you guys..

only the weak minded succumb to fanboyism - whose brains are easily brainwashed into fighting unnecessarily causes.. those who brain are susceptible to feelings of insecurity and envy.. a bit like don quixote.. wasting your life fighting pointless causes

loyalties to corporations when you should all be interested in games instead.. you might disagree with me but ultimately you know 100% that i am right..

do you still want to be a fanboy 10 years from now? if you don't then do you want to still be a fanboy 10 days from today? would you still want to be a fanboy ten minutes from now??

there is a cure for fanboyism: it is called being a gamer

Their PS3 "exclusive". You have to put the quotations, or even an asterisk, so that the disclaimer is legal.

Maybe it took so long to do FFXIII, and they moved so fast while making FFXIV, that it is almost done!!! Wait what? It's just the next MMORPG FFXI, with a full number name upgrade. DUH! I thought I was about to be in RPG heaven. Oh well! Still getting FFXIII versus!

1.39 - mmos arent my thing
ff14 looks like the next mmo so i dont expect it to be exclusive to ps3 I think they will go ps3 and PC. If they dont I can see it being something legal becfause ff11 is on xbox and pc, and this game seems like a clever way to get the ps3 money.

Same universe same underwhelming graphics, same races. Yes I played ff11 for a month then I got tired of it. I will try the Star Wars TOR MMO

When he said FFIV I laughed because I thought it was a joke because there are so many games in the series but then he said it again and rolled the video. I lost it. It will be real funny if FFIV comes out before FFXIII. lol
