Final Fantasy XIV announced
June 2nd, 2009 by Colin Temple
Square Enix announced their next MMORPG at E3 today. Final Fantasy XIV: Online will be coming in 2010.
The game is not a sequel to Final Fantasy XI any more than the other Final Fantasy games follow each other. Instead, it will take place in its own world, called Eorzea.
Final Fantasy XIV, as it stands, is PlayStation 3 exclusive in the console world — but there will be a PC version as well, which is vital to MMO success. Although it was previously said that Rapture (the code name for FF14) would be released on the Xbox 360, it seems that Sony was able to convince them otherwise.
The game is set for a 2010 release worldwide.
Check out the trailer. It definitely has an FFXI feel to it:
We’ll bring you more as it comes.
