They arent simply going to create online Final Fantasy games now are they?
And no, future FFs will not be online. FFXII is proof of that. XI is just a once off. Personally, I think the fact they called it ‘XI’ is weird, though. FF : Online would be much more suitable, since it’s NOT a proper FF, and more of a spin-off like Crystal Chronicles or Mystic Quest. Not that those comparisons are meant to say anything about the quality, though.
The main thing about FFXI is the exploring and seeing things with other people and fighting in epic battles with other people. There really is nothing like when you and five of your lvl 20 friends head out and destroy the dragon in Windhurst… it makes you feel like you’re part of something… even though you’re just sitting in front of your computer eating cheese doodles.
