Rare screenshots from Square-Enix's highly anticipated next-generation MMORPG have been released exclusively on Allakhazam.com.
The screenshots, showing scenes from the upcoming game known only as Project Rapture, were leaked to the Final Fantasy XI Online staff by a source close to the game's development team. Despite the low quality of the images, the screenshots speak for themselves.
Details are scarce at this time, but Allakhazam.com has confirmed Project Rapture will implement Square Enix's Crystal Tools graphics engine. The game is planned to be released for the Xbox360, the Playstation 3 and for PCs using the Windows Vista operating system.
Examiner: "Square Enix has officially announced their PS3 exclusive Final Fantasy 14."
Holy f**k. Finish your current projects already. CG looks great though. I hope by online, SE means online like White Knight Chronicles, not FFXI.
Guess Sqaure wasn't happy with 360 exclusive sales enough to put it on 360. That or they've gotten a couple of death threats I'll go with both lol
this will be huge. I've been wanting to play XI, but never got around to it. I can only imagine the kind of epic scale this game will produce, and finally I'll have a MMO to play on my PS3. I can't wait to see more..
- Uncharted 2 (best graphics on any console, see new SP footage)
- Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
- Agent (new PS3 exclusive from Rockstar, ROCKSTAR!)
- Final Fantasy Versus
- The Last Guardian
- Final Fantasy 14, only on PS3 coming in 2010, previously known as Project Rapture
- MAG
- Gran Turismo 5
- Heavy Rain
- God of War 3
- Lost Planet 2 coming to PS3 now, confirmed
360 owners get
- Splinter Cell Conviction (with Xbox 1 graphics)
- Metal Gear Solid spinoff of a story PS3 owners already know, not even confirmed exclusive
- Alan Wake (looks good, I won't lie)
- Crackdown 2, sequel to a mediocre open world game
- Halo expansion pack
- Halo: Reach
- Left 4 Dead 2
Also I'm pretty sure that Sony won't let exclusivity drop away from them this time because it wouldn't have been emphasised that this will be released "only on Playstation 3".
Its being made by there online division a completely different part Of SE it wont or hasn't interfered with FF13 at all so get your facts straight people. They have been working on 14 for years already we all knew S-E been working on a new MMO and we finally found what it was damn you 360 fan boys are impossible... Talk about sour grapes lol.
oh wow i just got a call that ff16 is an xbox exclusive and it comes out tomorow
I hope there are no fees. FF11 MMO wasn't free to play online afterall. Keep it free tp play, and I'll be happy.
PC games - no need to buy a 360:
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Splinter Cell Conviction (with Xbox 1 graphics)
- Alan Wake
Multiplatform:
- Metal Gear Solid spinoff of a story PS3 owners already know

sorta... this one is based in Fabula Nova universe
i own both consoles, and personally think there is some good and bad games coming for both consoles. ffs you fanboys need to grow up and a get a grip
MMO means, Massive Multiplayer Online Game.
It also means that you have to pay a monthly fee to play it which single handed erases it from my list just like it did with FFXI.
Gaming is already too expensive and it's not being made by the core FF Team.
FFXIV PS3 EXCLUSIVE BABY! 2010 RELEASE
LMAO at ^^Lariats^^ disbelief
This looks more of a sequle to FF11 rather than a real new game. Especially how it is being released the same year as 13. At first I thought FF13 versus was being renamed as 14 then I saw the tag of it being online. That made me think it might be another FF11 online only type of game.
We will know more as the info comes out.
I do hope its not an MMO like FFXI, I dont have the time to sink 1000s of hours into an MMO.
We know the games online but I would like to see a more casual experience with more emphasis on story and not lvl grinding/uber item bragging rights.
Alternativly I would like a single player game with the online element more of a co-op, rather than an online only game.
Still it will be very interesting to see where this goes.
I actully though he had made a mistake, i thought he said 13 versus thats what I was expecting, totally blew me away =]
I bet anything this deal was done before last years E3. Sony had to pretend to eat crow this past year when in reality they decided to trade off FF13 exclusvity for FF14 exclusivity. Also it looks like they did a similar deal with rockstar and now its come back to bite microsoft in the ass.
All those who keep going on about how sony does not know what their doing need to stfu from now on, sony haven't been around for 15 years for nothing.
I read that SE if far less profitable then they were years back, I bet sony is publishing this game to cement it as ps3 only game. It a win for both companies i think.
I am not excited about FFXIII after seeing the demo. But I am very excited for FFIV because if anyone is going to make a proper MMORPG, Square-enix has the capability to do it. And the characters aren't weird cross dressers, FINALLY. It looks semi-serious. Hopefully it stays that way.
You forgot Left 4 Dead 2 is also an expansion pack. and PS3 owners also get Quantum Theory. I'm hoping that it's good
OMG... Sony must have paid off Square to shut out Microsoft. FOUL! EVIL MONEY! UNFAIR! ANTI-COMPETITIVE!
What, I'm just saying the same things you would say...
Played FFXI for 6 years. This games announcement made me explode in my pants 7 different ways.
I knew there was a new FF MMO that was going to be unveiled at E3, but the fact it's the same universe as XI just blew my mind. I can't wait to make a new Tarutaru and get treading through the new vana'diel in 2010. I hope they have a beta later this year, because I will do all I can to get into it. :)
just looking at this post it sure seems that e3 really brings out the scum in gaming.. both xbox and sony fanboys are such scums i sometimes wonder how they manage to achieve anything in life
yes you fanboys know exactly who you are and i bet you aren't particularly proud of being a fanboy but you do it anyway.. it's like a drug to you guys..
only the weak minded succumb to fanboyism - whose brains are easily brainwashed into fighting unnecessarily causes.. those who brain are susceptible to feelings of insecurity and envy.. a bit like don quixote.. wasting your life fighting pointless causes
loyalties to corporations when you should all be interested in games instead.. you might disagree with me but ultimately you know 100% that i am right..
do you still want to be a fanboy 10 years from now? if you don't then do you want to still be a fanboy 10 days from today? would you still want to be a fanboy ten minutes from now??
there is a cure for fanboyism: it is called being a gamer
So basically, True gamers get...
- Uncharted 2
- Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
- Agent
- Final Fantasy Versus
- The Last Guardian
- Final Fantasy 14, only on PS3 coming in 2010, previously known as Project Rapture
- MAG
- Gran Turismo 5
- Heavy Rain
- God of War 3
- Lost Planet 2 coming to PS3 now, confirmed
And True Gamers get
- Splinter Cell Conviction
- Metal Gear Solid spinoff
- Alan Wake
- Crackdown 2, sequel to a mediocre open world game
- Halo expansion pack
- Halo: Reach
- Left 4 Dead 2
What an amazing E3! Being a real gamer and not a Brand wh**e is truly a wonderful thing!

When Sony lets something go they generally get something in return.
Their PS3 "exclusive". You have to put the quotations, or even an asterisk, so that the disclaimer is legal.
They cant even finish FF13. As for it being an exclusive I hope no one is believing that again
Nice. Is this what Square meant when they said they were going to swing the ball back in Sony's direction?
Maybe it took so long to do FFXIII, and they moved so fast while making FFXIV, that it is almost done!!! Wait what? It's just the next MMORPG FFXI, with a full number name upgrade. DUH! I thought I was about to be in RPG heaven. Oh well! Still getting FFXIII versus!
ff14 looks like the next mmo so i dont expect it to be exclusive to ps3 I think they will go ps3 and PC. If they dont I can see it being something legal becfause ff11 is on xbox and pc, and this game seems like a clever way to get the ps3 money.
Same universe same underwhelming graphics, same races. Yes I played ff11 for a month then I got tired of it. I will try the Star Wars TOR MMO
I was so shocked. I was expecting FF13 VS..and then BAM..I was like "did they change the title?". They started showing it and I was like "ooooooh myyyyy gaaaaaaaaaawd"
its time for the trolls to start begging again just like on mgs4! TBH this is some kick a$$ announcement. i love ff11 and i'm going love this one even more because it's on my ps3!
Ahem... not exclusive. It's available on PC as well.
Just returning the favor...
When he said FFIV I laughed because I thought it was a joke because there are so many games in the series but then he said it again and rolled the video. I lost it. It will be real funny if FFIV comes out before FFXIII. lol
its just FF14 ONLINE is that really something to get excited about was 11 even good?
I was excited until i knew it was an MMO
Didn't like Final XI Online ...really don't care about its sequel

PSP Go! (wasn't OFFICIALLY announced or shown, it's called a leak durrrrr)
Sony had a tangible product not some pre-rendered CGI and actors, which looks to work well and to be accurate. Give me a bow and arrow, i'll shoot some xbots in the head and groin for being retarded. I thought motion controls were a gimmick? PS3 owners have been using them since 2006.
Pretty good show, the PSP i think stole a huge chunk of hype for the conference. I'm looking forward to what else will be revealed in the coming months.
God of War 3 Gameplay (Cool)
MAG Gameplay (Cool)
Uncharted 2 Gameplay (Cool)
Gran Turismo 5 (Not cool because it wasn't being played. Just some trailer)
Team ICO (That's the same trailer that was already shown before E3)
Final Fantasy XIV (On PC as well. It's a given)
The Agent (How is this cool? It was a logo, rofl)
The PS3 Wand (Absolutely... f*cking... terrible.)
Project Natal was running in real-time. IGN had a page stating that they USED it and it worked JUST like it was shown :). Have fun playing with your wand. I'll be using a extremely powerful camera that recognizes face, voice, body, and a lot of other things. It will also let me control the entire Xbox with it. I don't need a wand to make sh*t work. Everyone is agreeing that that thing looks piss poor, dude.
Also, Forza Motorsport 2 has scored higher than Gran Turismo 4: Prologue, Gran Turismo 4, AND Gran Turismo 5. So how exactly are you saying it's better? Sales?
Oh, Final Fantasy XIV: Online is on PC as well. That's a given.
Everything shown at MS E3'09 was actually running unless it was a trailer such as Crackdown 2 or Left 4 Dead 2. All of the Forza Motorsport 3 stuff was showing actual gameplay, and it only took 2 years to get there. And I honestly bet it's going to have a higher score and more praise from critics than Gran Turismo 5. Even the Alan Wake trailer (Which looks better than anything on a console so far) was running on the 360, IN-GAME.
http://www.youtube.com/watc... (Yes, it's in-game and on the 360 as said by Remedy)
DLC, DCL, multiplatform games a bunch of paid for exclusives that we already knew about, a fresh cup of milked halo and a tamagotchi for pedophiles.... good show....lol
In all seriousness Microsoft by no means had a bad showing but where was their bombshell that was supposed to make PS3 owners envy the 360? I must admit alan wake and SCC demoed really well but lets be honest they werent getting the headlines yesterday however Metal gear rising (mulitplatform confirmed) was.
Sony just showed the best it had to offer and piled on top even more whilst microsoft yet again just went the me too route "with metal gear solid our platform is complete".
The FACT is the only new game announced for 2009 exclusive to 360 is L4D2. Microsoft didnt win sh!t.
2009:
Left 4 Dead 2
Splinter Cell Conviction
Forza Motorsport 3
Halo 3: ODST

Halo: Reach

FFU:
"In August 2005, it was announced that Square Enix were working on a new MMORPG, which they have entitled Rapture. This is just a codename for now though, as they haven't really released anything else about the game.
Many fans presume that this secret (or not so secret) project is just a front for the sequel to Final Fantasy XI, which Yoichi Wada has confirmed is currently in development. At an investor conference on the 8th of March, Wada claimed that Square Enix are hard at work on the follow-up title to Final Fantasy XI and given that Rapture is the only known MMORPG that they're currently working on, it's not illogical to put two and two together in this instance."
the link said it is for PS3 and PC u should put the 360 in it as well because its a MMO and i believe it will come to 360 as well.
thanks
I guess there are three explanations for the lengthy delay:
1) It's the new Square Enix policy
2) The game is going to be so massive, they want to fine tune everything
3) They want to milk Final Fantasy XI as long as they can.
I can't believe it was so long ago that they initially announced this game.
Dutch website GameCloud.nl reports that Square Enix will announce a new MMO at E3 2009. This rumor was posted in Electronic Gaming Monthly. GameCloud believes Rapture is the MMO S-E will announce at E32009. Rapture is a MMO in development at Square Enix for a couple years now.
it's been announced since 2006 or 7 lol. Coming out on pc, 360, ps3 too. It is using the crystal tools engine...just check wiki.
Yeah, it's been announced since 2005 but we never heard anything from it. Electronic Gaming Monthly published that S-E was working on a MMO, but they didn't said it was Rapture. But I'm sure it is.
Development on BioShock started in 2004, development on Rapture from S-E in 2005. So they both just happened to come up with the same name, they didn't stole it from each other.
I'm sure it will come out for all systems, but lets hope they all share the same servers. Pc will surely come out first, then its hard to say if 360 or ps3 will come first afterwards. I would prefer to play it on my ps3, just because most of my friends play on that system, and my 360 only has a 20 gig hardrive.
if it wasn't completely cross platform. They'd be taking a step back If the game wasn't, pretty big step too since I could even play FFXI on my PS3. I'll be getting this one on PC. I was always jealous of windower plugins that PC players could get over console players(even if it was use at your own risk.)
I want to know If It is FF based or not. From the demo they've shown It looks a lot like FFXI. I think I remember even seeing wyverns in the video. Even the story picture reminds me of an elvaan, with their tree necks.
i'm sure this one will be on all sysstems. MMORPG's really wont really do as well as expected unless they are cross platform. unless they are PC only.
Even if Square goes exclusive to microsoft you can expect their MMORPG's to be multi platform.
i'm actually excited about this. i love ffxi. but it didnt make leveling early easy leaving any non large funtioning Linkshell members that are not high level or have access to expensive gear hard to level.
oh another problem with ffxi was that the devs were to eager to please crying wimpy babies that wanted everything nerfed or boosted making partying with players almost static leaving some parties out at some levels. i could barely get past lvl 57 on my dark knight but was able to take my beastmaster past 60 by mainly soloing.
april fools
looks like XII in HD
April's fool
whats up with all this crap
This is proof that Americans are idiots. I have been on internet for 30 minutes and all i have been reading are fake lying stories and than classic comments "Ahh Aprils fools joke" etc. Get a life! Why even bother to write fake stuff, and even worse approve it!?
I am gone for today.
All news today must be taken with a grain of salt, especially any good news.
