Can't wait! FFXI had a big impact on my gaming, been waiting for the follow up for the past 5 years.

Pretty, and I'll give it some consideration as a console MMO, but I have no interest in it as a PC MMO. On that platform I am done with fantasy MMOs for a good long while. But, if it plays well enough on the console and it doesn't require the serious attention that a PC MMO does, I might give it a chance. However, if it is anything like FFXI, I'll probably wind up playing Free Realms instead.

Meh, I dunno, there would really have to be something special about this game for me to care about it. FFXI was awful.

It looks quite good but I think I'll pass on this one. Not a big MMO kinda guy...it takes commitment.

Never seen it even once. Ever.

You should try out Firefox and the adBlockPlus extension.

Can't wait to see more actual gameplay. I hope its not as slow paced as FFXI was but not as fast as AION or WoW is. Any boy I am so glad Nobuo Uematsu is doing all the music!

Could be subjective ofcourse, but hardcore j-rpg style monster grinding and MMO sounds like a massive time sink, Final Fantasy is renown for its fresh and fast paced story, one moment you're helping out flower girl, the next you're flying in an air ship and battling an ultima monster, yes offline Final Fantasies are grindy as any j-rpg BUT atleast they are heavily story driven, and the game, the story (thus the motivation for grinding) has a satisfying ending at some point. It doesnt sound very appealing in an MMO ambiance to me (end game in a j-rpg mmo, shivers), but then to each his own!

Ugh. I hate how people are judging this because of how FFXI was. FFXI came out 7 FREAKIN' YEARS AGO, back when ALL MMOs were a huge grindfest and broadband internet was just coming out.

Of course SE has learned absolutely nothing from FFXI or recent MMOs. Of course FFXIV is going to be EXACTLY THE SAME as FFXI but with better graphics. Do you people honestly believe that???
