Square Enix's Next MMO Unveiled E3 2009 [quote]

From the December EGM issue that I just received earlier today:

Quote:
"Scuttlebutt Around The Industry suggets that Square Enix will finally unveil the follow-up to their almost 7 year-old massively multiplayer online RPG, Final Fantasy XI, at this June's E3 convention in Los Angeles. It's designed to coexist with (i.e., not replace) Square's long-running MMO, and FFXI Producer Hiromichi Tanaka tells us that the "next-generation MMO that we're working on is going to be different than Final Fantasy XI. And even though we have the same staff working on the project, we're not going to make something that'll be exactly like FFXI." With Square Enix's next time-sink just over the horizon, we decided to compile a wish list of elements that Square's next MMO should add- while ditching a lot of the dead weight found in FFXI."
justamemory, eat your heart out.

Edit:

Double Edit: New news! The-Magicbox is spreading their own rumors:

Quote:
RUMOR: EGM reported that Square Enix will reveal a new Final Fantasy MMORPG at E3 in June 2009, the game will co-exist with Final Fantasy XI, instead of replacing it.
Weird... I could've sworn the EGM article said absolutely nothing about it being an FF. But, at the same time, they never said it wasn't...

Update: Final Fantasy: Square Enix Still Workin' On That New MMO

Yoichi Wada:
Quote:
"the question is where do we go from here, and we are currently developing a post-FFXI flagship title"

I'm with Emanon Retsim. No MMO since FFXI I actually played really captured the same feeling of addiction. LOTRO did to an extent but I guess FFXI came first so there ya go.

Call it conjecture, but most companies don't even *think* about unveiling a project until it's at least half done.

They've been working on it for about 4 years. I believe it's been in beta form for some months now, but not to anyone in the public, they're just testing it themselves. Titled it "Code Name: Rapture".

Here's a 2005 Tech Demo of what their new MMO is capable of. Personally, I hope it has architecture like this. I'd have an orgasm if the architecture was like this:

I see their new MMO coming out in late 09 or early 2010. And then I'm sorry I have to say, Aion will be completely gone from my mind.

The average MMO length is 3 years, and although they've already used 4, and SE is known for taking longer than normal on every single video game, it's going to be coming sooner than we expect.

I don't even want to diss Aion, but if SE announced their new MMO right now, gave us some in-game trailers, tons of screenshots, info and commentary, I would forget Aion ever existed.

I can't even believe that FFXI came out in Japan in like '01. That game was way ahead of its time if you think about it, considering aspects of it are still totally unique in the MMO market seven years later.

*titters*

If any game can even come close to overthrowing WoW itself, it'd be a new SE MMO.

FFXI is still, and will be until SE's next MMO, the best MMORPG ever constructed. It's lightyears ahead in atmosphere, music, storyline, design, etc. etc. Even special effects like the weapon skills were completely unmatched.
