Can Square Enix claim their promises of delivering an entertaining true Final Fantasy multiplayer experience?

Finally game me and my lady can both enjoy!

Final Fantasy XV as an Action-MMORPG will greater help improve Final Fantasy XIV experience.

[DragonKnight]

No it won't. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

[Need4Game]

Square Enix don't have much money.

They'll copy XIV assets and put it in XV.

Square Enix is confirmed to focus more on Social Games.

Final Fantasy XV will be an Action-MMORPG.

[DragonKnight]

LMAO! You really have no idea what you're talking about. FFXV and FFXIV will not share any similarities or connections whatsoever. FFXV has been in development a lot longer than FFXIV because it used to be Versus XIII. All they are doing is changing the story around to reflect it being a new game, as well as updating assets to reflect their new engine. FFXV will most certainly NOT be an Action-MMORPG and you have no grounds to say that it will be.

Focusing on Social Games is also irrelevant to this discussion.

[Need4Game]

Square Enix already said "Final Fantasy XIV" almost bankrupt the Company.

Square Enix don't even have enough resources to make Final Fantasy XIV a proper MMORPG in the first time.

FFXV and FFXIV will have resource sharing, and both will MMORPG.

Square Enix is still near Bankruptcy

He's out of bubbles he can't disagree with us anymore!

[DragonKnight]

You can keep repeating the same thing all you want to, it doesn't make you any less incorrect. You're are quite simply wrong and you don't know what you're talking about.

[ScubbaSteve]

I think you might have gotten confused, FFXV isn't a MMORPG and probably wont have any effect on FFXIV.

Final Fantasy XV will be an Action-MMORPG.
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be an Action-MMORPG.

[ScubbaSteve]

Ok you're not confused, you just have no idea what you're talking about.

[Need4Game]

its highly probable for a near Bankrupt company like Square Enix to make everything into a Social Games.

and its for the better FFXV & FFXIV to be both MMORPG, because it will help each other.

without it FFXIV will stay terrible.

[ScubbaSteve]

That makes no sense because FFXV has been in development for quite some time as FFXIII versus. It already has its own assets and it probably runs on a different engine completely because there are vast differences in MMOs and ARPGs. Furthermore, producing two MMOs at the same time, which have huge budgets, is counter productive. They'd split the audience between the two games and it'd result in lower subscriptions.

On top of that you have to consider settings. FFXIV is set in a large medieval fantasy setting. FFXV on the other hand it set in a more modern setting. This means the only shared assets they could use would be monsters whose designs are sometimes carried over to begin with. I know FFXIV pulls a lot of monster designs from FFXI but it's not like they just pulled the data files from FFXI and put them into FFXIV.

If this game were FFXIII-4 I imagine they'd pull assets from FFXIII 1-3 because it's the same story, setting, and engine. This however isn't the case.

[Non4Gag]

SquareEnix near to Bankruptcy is a Valid Point.

Reusing trees, flower, bench, door, window, etc is Reusing Assets.

Assests can be use on Different Engine. That's why Game Mod community Exist. Minecraft in Skyrim, Garry's mod, etc.

Yes, FFXIV copied Game Assests from FFXI.
ALL MMORPG MAKER COPIES ASSESTS FROM THEIR OLDER GAMES.

NCsoft, Nexon, all of them copies their assets from their older games.

FFXIV did fail the first time, "The Realm Reborn" almost bankrupt the Company.

SquareEnix Finances Dictates FFXV & FFXIV future. http://www.bloomberg.com/qu... Their Finances is still getting worse.

??what are you going on about

[Non4Gag]

"Can Square Enix claim their promises of delivering an entertaining true Final Fantasy multiplayer experience?"

Unless Square Enix turns FFXV into an MMORPG,
FFXIV will not have the Resources, the People, the Assets, nor the Fund to deliver true Final Fantasy multiplayer experience.

in simpler terms, to ensure the success of both FFXIV & FFXV, both have to be MMORPG that shares a lot of things.

if FFXIV die first, there'll be no FFXV, no KH3
if FFXV is an MMORPG. that'll saves FFXIV and FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3(Which also will be an MMORPG).
