If only it actually looked like this... Oh well, it still has the best character models I've seen for an MMO.

Raf1k15662d ago

This one looks to be in-game:

It still looks really good though. You have to remember it's an MMO.

Arnon5662d ago

That's why I said it has the best character models I've seen for an MMO :P

Fishy Fingers5662d ago

Arnon, that's certainly CGI, most traditional games dont look anywhere close to that let alone an MMO.

Blasphemy5662d ago

Can't wait for this game. It's hard for me to believe that this game will able to run on PS3 with how it looks.

mfwahwah5662d ago

It's still hard to believe that PS3 can dish out incredible graphics?

Arnon5662d ago

Lol Fishy, I'm pretty sure there's no game in existence that looks that good right now. The in-game screenshot though is what I was referring to about the character models.

Udidntlistenpunk5661d ago

I have good memories from FF11. So this game is going to be day one.

I've never played an MMO before. I am curious about this one though. If the price is right, I just might get it.

" I am curious about this one though. If the price is right, I just might get it"

I think Sony is trying to make this free 2 play.DC online is the first MMO for the PC and PS3 with a free 2 play system and that is official!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With 2 free MMO's on the PS3 my X360 will start to gather dust.

lightningsax5662d ago

Free-to-play FFXIV will most likely not happen. Maybe Free Realms will see the PS3 and be "free" with microtransactions because it's Sony's game, but I don't see Sony footing the massive costs to maintain and develop a Square MMO that's also going on the PC.

I'd pay Square to keep rebalancing, updating, and expanding FFXIV if it's that good. If. Like I said above, I still haven't met an MMO that I liked.

KnightOfAlbion5662d ago

FREE Realms will obviously be free. No doubts there =)

rob60215661d ago

FFXI was a huge money maker for Square-Enix, It is very unlikely this game will go free to play, unless it does horribly. SE is counting on this game to match the success or exceed from what FFXI did.

Ngai5662d ago

Looks alot more mature/serious then FFXI.

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Stopac12h ago

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac12h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

PapaBop16h ago

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac12h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
