Final Fantasy 14 MMO (PS3 exclusive) PC on the way

[not a zaar]

Two things:

1) It is not PS3 exclusive, it's a PC game.

2) FFXI had a lot of potential but was ruined by ancient Everquest-era MMO design. I'll wait to see if they can manage to make an MMO that's not a brutal time sink.

Wow You really hate all things sony don't you. troll after troll after troll.

There you go buddy, it's not PS3 exclusive.

Now maybe you can explain to me how I was hating on Sony or trolling, as you seem to think. The only thing I was hating on was Square-Enix and their terrible time sink of an MMO, FFXI.

I don't like the path this final fantasy is taking, it's not interesting me at ll this time. Maybe they need to do a Guild Wars and base it on a theme that isn't Eurasia for once.

I just hope that white mages get actual robes this time, instead of what looks to be the freak offspring of the traditional outfit and an athletic suit.

Im pretty sure when the president of Sony comes out and says "Its a PS3 exculsive" you can
trust the scource.

Quite true, the guy did say PS3 Exclusive. It'll probably port to the PC someday though.

People say "exclusive" they mean from other CONSOLES. For some reason, PC is seldom included in that. Keep that in mind. The PC market is technically not held by any one PC company so all profits and proceeds go to the distributing company... in other words, if Sony releases a game for PC they get the profits, not the xbox console, not the nintendo console, although I'm not sure if they have to pay anything to Microsoft because it's designed to run on WIndows Platform.

At any rate, Final Fantasy ONLINE was a great game but what honestly killed it was the scaling and balance... Past level 14 anything resembling solo leveling was out of the question, even for pet class characters that should have been able to solo. I used to find it stupid that around level 40 any monster I ran into over level 35 was a serious threat to my survival... thats just not right... you shouldnt be fighting for your very life against monsters 10 levels below you.. and once you get to level 55 or so, the idea of solo-ing any creature becomes something you have to make painstaking plans to do such as buying a stockpile of potions and having a healer on hand.

Didn't Square Enix try something like this already? OH WAIT, FINAL FANTASY XI.
