FFXIV will be coming to the PS3 & PC. They are currently considering other hardware (including Microsoft hardware!)

Shocking

[Solar]

Should I pull out the "I'm an expert" post in advance?

[VixyNyan]

Shocking

I think it was obviously expected.

Do what you feel is right. óVó

[Fxeni]

There goes the wind in some fanboys sails

Not that it wasn't obvious before, but it's nice to have something to point to as proof.

[Protoman Blues]

Hmmmmmm...they are considering making the game downloadable for the PSP Go!? I thought every PSP game would be both downloadable and on UMD.  Maybe he didn't fully understand the question...

[Satoryu]

Wow....um, okay.  I mean, not to be insulting, but I thought Phantom Hourglass' controls were "child-easy" and made the game incredibly easy.  Hell, my only complaint about Phantom Hourglass was that it was too easy.

yeah, and i think Kingdom Hearts' menus are so easy to navigate, a caveman could do it.

i'm sure Ninty designed it to be accessible to everybody, but it just didn't work for me at all. it looked good on paper. but then again, so did Communism.

nyragh. i gotta stop complaining now, it's giving me a headache.

[VixyNyan]

The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago

Hm, they kept this game secret for a long time. ^^

[Gaia]

Soul Calibur time. You know what this means, mustache and tophat time!

Seriously, Dampierre looks like such an awesome [tornado fang]ing character!

Dampierre

He is now my favorite Soul Calibur series character, whoever designed this guy gets a notion!

Shocking

Not so shocking when you expect a multiplatform MMO.

Soo... A videogame communist are we?

Square's known for that. 

[Fxeni]

Huh, they're planning to keep both XI and XIV running at the same time... now that's surprising.

[Solar]

11:59a.m.: Question - What happens to FFXI now if we're moving to FFXIV? Will it be phased out? (I don't speak Japanese but I think he's saying something about fruitbats. Maybe I'll just wait for the translation.)

12:00p.m.: Answer - The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago, and it's gone on alongside FFXI development. They plan to continue with e year more of content for FFXI.


FFXI players, you're safe...for a year.

[Satoryu]

i ain't playing around with you. i'm playing with PB.

[Protoman Blues]

LoL, I never said that the menu's were hard to navigate.  I just said I didn't like it at all. 

Not so shocking when you expect a multiplatform MMO. 

My comment was sarcastic.

[Protoman Blues]

Maxi looks pretty smooth and sexy on Broken Destiny. 

[Jericho]

Worldwide simultaneous release, not bad Square!

[VixyNyan]

4 languages, at launch.

On Gamespot schedule in an hour, we'll see:
Assassin's Creed 2
Rabbids Go Home
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up

[Protoman Blues]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up

I'm looking forward to more vids of this!   

Also, FFXIV sounds nice.  Of course, it's an MMO, so unless it's free, no chance in hell!   

[Kieran]

So, no chance in hell then.

[CephiYumi]

Of course, it's an MMO, so unless it's free, no chance in hell!   

It's not ; ;

[Satoryu]

to be honest, i'm more interested in the Turtles in Time remake.

[Protoman Blues]

LoL, yep.  No chance in hell! 

The only MMO I'm somewhat interested in is the DCU Online MMO, as being a Green Lantern or Flash-like Speedster appeals to the DC nerd in me.  However, I still won't pay for it.

[Fxeni]

A: It's up to the community themselves. We envision users that will hopefully play XI one day and XIV another. They will be independent, but users are free to play both.

I'm still surprised they're supporting both... for now, at least.

[Align]

Hm, when did Squenix become benevolent towards PC?

[CephiYumi]

I'm still surprised they're supporting both... for now, at least.

considering how long it takes to do ANYTHING in FFXI, I think it would make a lot of people mad to lose everything ^^;

[Protoman Blues]

Man, this PixelJunk game on Gamespot looks awesome!
