14? Are you serious? 14?!

And people bitch about Guitar Hero ...

I swear they could put "Final Fantasy: Dump in a Box" on the cover and it would sell.

Highly skeptical of MMOs in general.

Even more skeptical of a Japanese developer working on an MMO. They just don't have the experience. I have a feeling its going to be a game that is even more grind than your average western MMO.

I have a feeling a lot of modern conventions used in western MMOs may not make it into FF14... map indicators for quests, loot sorting, clear and coherent stat expainations, etc.

Let's see if they'll actually make a UI that works on the PC. Let's just say my hopes aren't that high.

No wonder it's taking that studio 5 years to make FFXIII -- I think they have some 5 or 6 games going down the pipeline at the same time. It would be interesting to get a tour of the Square-Enix studios.

"Under the eldritch veil of a crimson shadow..."

Ah puke. I had to look up "eldritch"... apparently it means "weird" in Old English or something. It seems someone was hittin' up the thesaurus pretty hard. Crimson Shadow? I have no idea what the fuck that means -- I didn't see a single red-colored shadow. Also, this laid on the always mystical "destiny" and "fate" and "pages of eternity" pretty thick. I couldn't help but laugh at how cliched fantasy that is.

Forget all that poetry crap -- just tell me it has better graphics, a good inventory system, and true widescreen support (16:9 and 16:10, dammit).
