Why are they making this FFXIV if it's set in the same world? Why not just make an expansion?

Well if it has a different battle system, that wouldn't work, now would it?

I'm guessing this means they're shutting down FFXI soon?

Not necessarily.  Making a new MMORPG or even a sequel to one doesn't mean the other one will be shut down.  That just happens if it stops making money, really.

I read a BLog of the Press Conference with Square, thinking it'd have more interesting stuff than FF14...but alas, it was all FF14 OMG LETS ASK EVERYTHING! and such.

Anyway, its *NOT* Vandi'el or whatever the FF11 world is called.  They explicitly stated that.  They merely are keeping the races the same, so people who go from playing FF11 to FF14 feel more familiar with the game, such that they know the ups and downs of characters, can make characters reminiscent of their FF11 counter parts, etc.  It was basically a total familiarity thing.  They stated that it is not in anyway related to FF11, be it story wise or setting wise, so it isn't QUITE as pointless as it sounds.

It also sounds like they're not dropping FF11, more just making FF14 different or something?  Still, that conference didn't answer the question of "WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY MAKE ANOTHER MMO MAIN STREAM FF GAME?"  I mean, couldn't they have called it "FF Online" or "FF Social Network" or something?  It kinds of irksome when you want to say something like "I've played all Mainstream FF games...except FF11 cause its an MMO" or what not.

(yes, I'm whining about something stupid but well, you know me <_<)

They're... the same races as FFXI?

FFXIV is said to share many of FFXI's races, but they weren't explicitly clear on the background of newer groups. XIV takes place in Eorzea, thus negating the original 'world' of XI.

It'd be bad business for them to shut down FFXI soon with its limited gamer fanbase keeping the game going. If anything, if FFXIV gets the amount of subscribers SE hopes it would, I don't see any reason they'd keep XI trudging on. From what I've read about it, SE wants to warm XI players up to the idea of XIV in hopes of migrating their subscriptions to XIV. But they never explicitly stated taking it down in case they don't reach a desired amount of users, but we all know what happens if they don't get enough to cover operating fees. That said, I'd believe SE has enough money to keep XI afloat in case of lackluster XIV numbers.

SE keeps this marketing promise that the few games (since FF12) they created are to bring in casual, hardcore, traditional and nontraditional gamers alike. In my opinion, they've sorta failed on them, so I'm holding their limited information during the Conference with a grain of salt until they actually come with it. Like, how about finishing fucking XIII for Pete's Sake?

moar SaGa 2 stuff.

Remember how you could face a maximum of 27 in the original game?

They made it so you can now face over 50.

So after you beat the E4, Kyogre will appear in the wild in HG and Groudon will appear in the wild in SS. Bring them both onto a single file and you can access Rayquaza.

Also there's some sort of plot event with Arceus and Cynthia if you bring the movie Arceus over.

Arceus and Cynthia thing bugs me, not so much cause of its existence, but cause of the usual promotional nonsense that gets annoying.  Hey look! Fun stuff...that you can't see unless you do all these events.  Whee!

The Weather Trio is unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.  Sounds kind of annoying to get Rayquaza, but eh, just a usual "get both versions!" gimmick the series loves to toss in.

I'm not quite sure what that is other than Final Fantasy Gaiden and it looking kinda cutesy.

My impression is "Final Fantasy Dress-Me-Up"...

I really don't see the point. Is it supposed to be a direct sequel to FF1, perhaps? It seems to have a lot of the same functions (only in THREEDEE!!!1)...

I suppose that's more interesting that -another- remake of FF1...

Is there any sort of info regarding ToG that makes the game unique compared to other Tales games, or is all that stuff still in the dark?  I'm merely just curious.

D'oh. (On account of that accurate observation as well as it being for PSP.)

Every time I look at the release racks for the PSP, I can't help thinking that no, it is a bit of a joke despite strong on-paper sales.
But it's not a 600 dollar joke!  (okay, 400 now)
