Final Fantasy XI team working on new next-gen MMORPG

Hiromichi Tanaka tells Famitsu that he is in the initial stages of developing an unnamed next-generation project, talks Xbox 360 FFXI details.
In an interview published in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, Final Fantasy XI producer Hiromichi Tanaka disclosed that his development team is currently developing a new massively multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG) for next-generation consoles.

Tanaka declined to comment on whether the MMORPG in development will be a successor to FFXI or a new product. He did confirm that the technical demonstration shown for the Xbox 360 during E3 was one of the experiments his development team had created in order to see what kind of graphics that a next-generation console could achieve.

Tanaka also disclosed that the Xbox 360 edition of FFXI will sports graphics of a quality similar to the currently available PC version of FFXI. However, he added that the development team is seeing if the Xbox 360 can display graphics for about twice the distance than the Windows version.

The game's beta test is slated to begin simultaneously with the launch of the Xbox 360 later this year. Similarly to the Windows beta, the Xbox 360's beta test will be conducted on servers separate from the rest of the FFXI world. One of the main objectives for the Xbox 360 version’s beta testing is to see if there are any problems with the game's network environment, since this will be the first time that the Xbox Live will be allowing a connection from an external system.

Where in this article did you read that there would be more Final Fantasy to the X360?

They're only talking about FFXI and a new MMORPG project (FF or not) for next-gen consoles (non disclosed platform). That's all.

Actually the interesting part of this article is the fact that they say that FFXI X360 will simply be the PC version with twice the vista. What the...
They might have already said it, but I didn't read it until now.

I thought the game will have graphical improvements like the demo they shown at the MS press conf, but no, it seems Squenix decided that releasing a PS2 port to the PC will be next-gen enough if they double the vista...

a new MMORPG project (FF or not) for next-gen consoles (non disclosed platform). That's all.

There aren't many to choose from and an MMO is well suited for Live! and microtransactions, so it seems likely they'd onclude XB360 if they're not going to be PS3 exclusive.

Agreed, but there's no confirmation here.

So them making a demo for X360 confirms their next game for the system? They're doing the FFXI port, so it'd make sense for them to make any demo given that they likely have more experience with the machine than any other team at Square. It doesn't say anything about their next project.

I agree X360 is likely, but confirmed? No.

Anyway, they're probably talking about World of Mana (?)

Easy.....nobody is talking of it going only for the Xbox 360....

Next gen MMORG by SE will be multiplatform most likelly, and a technological demo does indicate that a xbox 360 version is in the works.

I'm just giving the answer to Vysez about what I thought jvd was referring to. Personally, I thought he was just "grasping at straws".

 

[Farid]

Ok, people, let's do it like this.

The title of the thread says "More Final fantasy on x360".
The article says "Another MMORPG from FFXI team is in the works", the article doesn't talk about it as being a Final Fantasy, nor it did confirm any platform.

Therefore, the title of the thread should be, "The FFXI team don't procrastinate too much, they have a new project for the next gen consoles (X360, PS3, Rev, Phantom)".

 

[Titanio]

No one said it was, and that's not what I was replying to..

I agree it's likely, but there's no definitive link. Doing a demo "to see what the next-gen systems are capable of" doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with their next project. They do have another X360 project already on the boil (FFXI).

It's a no brainer that such a game would be on x360, but there's no confirmation there yet.

Wow, people are very snippy. Don't jump all over the guy for coming to a logical conclusion. It's not the first time that's been done here.

 

[PG2G]

I agree that the title probably should have had a "?" at the end, but if all they wanted to do was see what the next gen consoles were capabale of, they would have done it on PS3. Not to mention, Allard pretty much confirmed in interviews that the demo they showed will become a full fledged game.

If it was only coming to the ps3 it wouldn't be consoles with an s . I also don't see why he would talk about it while talking about the x360 if it wasn't coming to it .


Sorry if i used logic to connect the dots . Apparently we aren't allowed to use that here anymore

You are streching it too far
Final Fantasy franchise now include single-player RPG, MMORPG, ARPG, and SRPG. The thread title says more Final Fantasy but the article says more MMORPG. FF can include MMORPG, but MMOPRG != FF.

 

[JasonLD]

Jeez..change the subject..this will definitely start flaming war....there is nothing that says there will be new FF game on Xbox360

 

[Farid]

Sorry if i used logic to connect the dots .

Logic? The article talked about a MMORPG, without mentioning it could be a Final Fantasy at all. That's not logic, that's clairvoyance!

You should start a career as a videogame fortune teller, or better start a company that promote the FTPU (Fortune Telling Processing Unit) vaporware concept. I'm sure Epic would incorporate this technology in their UE3.0.

 

[jvd]

Not stretching far enough . But i guess you guys will see soon enough

 

[JasonLD]

It only says they are making new MMORPG for possibly all consoles...we don't even know it will be carrying FF name or not...
FF game we care about is single player FF..not MMORPG...I really don't see a big deal about it.

 

[Shark Sandwich]

I know Square Enix have another MMORPG that has been in the works for some time. There are plenty of screenshots from a while back. I would find more info and screens, but gaming sites are blocked where I work

If anybody cares to find it, you should be able to get some info at http://www.rpgamer.com Anybody have any clue if this could be the new mystery MMORPG?

 

[Shark Sandwich]

Ah yes and it's called Fantasy Earth I believe. Or maybe I'm just pulling that title out of my ass.

 

[DigitalSoul]

Quite some time ago, Square announced a online actionRPG called Ambrosia Odyssey for PS2.....since then nothing about the game has surfaced.

And yes, they did announce a game called Fantasy Earth for the PC. Not much has been released about it lately.
