Square announces FFXIV as PS3-exclusive MMO for 2010

Sony announced Final Fantasy XIV as a PlayStation 3 exclusive today.
The MMO will ship next year.
A trailer showed an open area, boats. Dragon blowing fire on stuff. Airships. A dark haired knight of some sort.
We are speechless.

HOLY FUCK!
I dont care if it’s an MMO, the shock factor in the announcement was that not only was it shown after FFXIII, but it was revealed so soon before FFXIII even releases!

Didn’t they announce XI before X was actually released too? I can’t remember now.

Yeah, I was right – XI was announced in January 2000. X didn’t hit Japanese retail until July 2001.

I’m still stunned truth be told.
I mean I didnt see it coming from a mile away, I dont think none of you did.
Lets be honest, before you found out it was an MMO (not just you Blerk, everyone), what was your reaction to it? I mean we knew it was coming… BUT not this soon.

Look up there at post 1! That was before I knew it was an MMO, at which point it was certainly ‘teh m3g4t0n’.

I like it cause it looks more ancient civilations and not the futuristic stuff we’ve been seeing as of late!

If it’s an MMO it can only mean one thing.
It’ll be delayed.

VG247 should remove the FFXIII pic, it’s misleading.

I would like to make a few things clear 1) there is a mithra in the video she is casting the eletric field spell 2) why you all are shocked its an MMO is beyond me they announced this years ago and called it project rapture and about 6 months ago made the announcement they were going to talk about rapture during E3
