Wada "Committed to Restoring Confidence" in FF14

gaffyh|5681d ago |News|38|

After a weak first six months for this fiscal year, and relatively low sales for Final Fantasy XIV on PC, Square Enix president has said that he is committed to restoring confidence in the game.

Well from what I've heard of FF14 (i.e. limited play time), I don't think it will ever be popular with the MMORPG crowd.

what??? what do you mean limited play time? Like only a few hours a day or something?

If so, then I am no longer considering getting this on PS3 :(

A lot of the people I play it with are waiting for the December update to make a final verdict. The framework is in place for an awesome MMORPG experience. The story is engaging and enjoyable as it is now. The crafting system is a bit convoluted, but has good ideas in place. The battle system is awesome minus a few bugs that are supposedly being addressed in December.

Long story short: Improvements and enhancements are expected by the community in December. If they happen, people will stay and the community will grow. If they don't happen you can call FFXIV officiall dead.

They need to "restore confidence" in the FF franchise in general.

SE hasn't made one good console or PC game this gen. Only good games are on PSP/DS. Hopefully they dont ruin FFversusXIII or KH3

Probably right Dude, but it still has a chance of being popular with the FF11 crowd if they can right the ship before the Ps3 launch.

AOC, WAR, Etc all had a better chance than this does at being successful.

This game is going to die. Unless it goes FTP.

The only thing that could is someone committed to making games and a bit of profit. Not just profit.

@2.1.1 - Seriously? I must have missed that story, do you have a link to it?

Will be a massive loss for Square if true, I was looking forward to KH3 from him too.

At least that's what I've heard from a guy who is really into JRPG games. May or may not be true.

Well, isn't that just good news... /S

Sounds like it would just kill KH3 if true.

Also sounds like Sony better alert their HR people. Set Namura up with his own dev house - within Sony of course.

Right next door to PT.

As I suspected, businessmen are suffocating developers in Japan, and are a main reason for the gaming decline there.

If you look at the good games coming from Japan, you find they are from devs with more freedom like Itagaki and the guys at Platinum and from smaller purer companies like Atlus (hope the management reshuffle doesn't screw them)

james what i heard was if they get blind sided again like with final fantasy 13 then they were going to leave

as in if final fantasy 13 went multiplatform late in the development cycle without any kind of warning

Even if he was to leave Kingdom Heart 3 could still be made as it's his project. I think he's one of those developers that would do better with his own little company to be honest.

If he does leave Squenix, I hope he forms his own studio. The industry needs men of his talent.

What a loss for the company if he does go. I was a huge fan of Squaresoft in the 90's, but other companies, like Atlus, have replaced it on my list of favourite devs/pubs.

especially if they can fix it in time for the PS3 version...

however, "confidence in FF14" isn't the only problem for Square-Enix...
