Comments on: E3 ’09: Square Enix’s new announced. http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/06/02/e3-09-square-enixs-new-announced/ Tue, 21 May 2013 03:44:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Fleakitten http://www.ps3blog.net/2009/06/02/e3-09-square-enixs-new-announced/#comment-226244 Fleakitten Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:03:18 +0000 http://www.ps3blog.net/?p=8734#comment-226244 Tidbits from SE's E3 conference going on now! 11:56 FFXIV will be coming to the PS3 & PC. They are currently considering other hardware (including Microsoft hardware!) 11:56 Q: What are the ties to Final Fantasy XI, if any? 11:58 A: While you may have noticed that some of the same type of races appeared in the trailer, the world of FFXIV is different from FFXI. The reason that we made the races similar to the FFXI races is so FFXI players could choose a similar type of race in the new game. For example, in movies, you might have an actor that plays many different roles. Please, think of it that way. 11:59 Q: What happens to Final Fantasy XI now that we're moving to FFXIV? Are you going to phase it out or continue to publish new content for XI? How will the development team be split? 11:59 XIV does not take place in Vana'deil. 12:00 A: The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago, while FFXI was still being supported. FFXI will continue to be supported. There is another year of content planned. There are no plans for the near future to stop development on FFXI. 12:01 Q: What influence have games like World of WarCraft have on the development of FFXIV? 12:02 A: As with WoW, we want to aim a bit for the casual user. However, we don't want to make a copy of WoW. We believe we will have things that are unique and will stand out from that game. 12:02 Q: Will combat be more action oriented or turn-based? 12:02 A: We cannot talk about the battle system at this time Tidbits from SE’s E3 conference going on now!
