It's All about S(p)am~

[aexiel]

XIV is an mmorpg though. XD

 

[MadSova]

I would have wanted to play it but I have no money to pay those monthly fees and no time to concentrate on one game...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Mmorpg O.o Then there isnt going to be a XV? Or is it just going to be another mmorpg to follow?

 

[MadSova]

Who knows... They have many games on their list right now. Like Lightning Returns FFXIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII... And of course KH3 too...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Well mmorpg requires constant updating? I do feel that its going to take time from the development of other games :/

 

[nawi]

mmorpg....hmmm....

 

[aexiel]

FF XI was an mmorpg, that well, pretty much sucked due to the monthly fees. I believe SE won't be using that anymore as big-shot mmo's like the Secret World and SW: Knights of the Old Republic and WOW all tossed the monthly subscriptions due to declining gamer population. Guild Wars was very successful due to their one time purchase policy to which I approve of. I just hope XIV will be a one time purchase thing.

Square Enix is actually hiring programmers, illustrators and CG artists I believe, which to my intuition means that they are expanding, meaning, each game is being developed by separate teams. The problem though is the funding.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm so they went back to the normal rpg for XII since XI failed... but how did XI work in terms of play anyway?

Well more games~ Mehs ill never finish everything i want to xD

 

[aexiel]

idk. i couldn't play it. that monthly subscription prevented me from playing it. XIV is a complete revamp.

 

[MadSova]

Me is curious about XI as well... And I too hope it's one time purchase, as I might buy it if that way... Even though it is very unlikely... And when did WoW became free? Never heard of that...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Wow isnt free? Its just one time purchase i think? You can play free until x level then you have to pay~

 

[aexiel]

that was the last resort of WOW cause there's been many hackers that pierced through they're items. XI is closed down I think cause it was buggy and quite tedious gameplay.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... so no one will ever be able to play XI again... :/ Should make a version where they can sells it... im pretty sure people would go for that...

 

[MadSova]

And now that I think about it, I might even need a new PC if I want to play FFIV Realm Reborn...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol so itll run properly? xD

 

[MadSova]

So it will run at all? ;p

 

[aexiel]

I just hope the game won't be racist like other high-end games. some requires nvidia parts. its effin racist chipsetting

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm nvidia is high end stuff?

 

[aexiel]

not really but I found some mmo's that simply don't work without an nvidia GPU.

 

[MadSova]

Oh, btw http://www.siliconera.com/2013/01/07/final-fantasy-xiv-a-realm-reborn-beta-sign-ups-have-begun/
Here are the links for sign up for beta testing of FFXIV Realm Reborn

 

[aexiel]

I am nowhere in the signup regions. XD

 

[MadSova]

Where are you then???

 

[aexiel]

somewhere in SEA. I'm still wondering why Square Enix regions are Japan, Americas, Europe, Oceanias but no Asia.

 

[MadSova]

I think that the region for that place is Europe...

 

[aexiel]

meh.. I'll just register Italy, my parents are there anyway.
