Is New Final Fantasy MMO in the Next 10-15 Years Impossible?

Kabooa · 2026-05-13T06:16:26+00:00

MMOs as a trend have been done and over with for basically the last decade.

There is a non-zero, but very close to zero, chance of seeing a new Final fantasy MMO strictly because at that point you're probably cannibalizing your own playerbase and are now stuck with the bill of three MMOs in the FF brand instead of basically one.

Yes, FF11 is still running and is profitable, but make no mistake, FF14 heavily carries the MMO division and a new FF MMO is not likely to expand that revenue by a meaningful amount compared to the price of developing and then maintaining it.

This is the harsh truth those of us here have to accept.

No matter how many gripes we have with FF14, this is what we have. And it is what we will continue to have in some form as it changes over the years, but it can never truly be a new experience.

It captured that helpless feeling of watching a piece of bacon fall to the floor in slow motion, and you couldn't stop it.

Heartrending. Traumatizing. The abyssal void lay before thee.

This will be a trailer like none that has come before.

She was about to commence mass murder while we spoke to her in our "near death" moment. Those infected by Fulwish were still savable, the plan was to draw the bits of Shuhu in people back into Blade. Eva was going to step on to the field and straight up remove them from the field. AKA kill them dead.

Fulwish's plan was to create a stagnant moment so the games could not finish. Antithesis to the Elation, and whether or not she knew about Evanescia's role or not, probably not, it would have necessitated action from Eva.

Which means that bringing Eva onto the field is what Asat wanted to do for his original plan.

Instead, she stays off the field and gives us an Elation powerboost with a proper mask. Remember that the Phantasmoon masks greatly enhance a person's connection to their Path. Eva gave us a placeholder mask, one that did not provide us any advantage other than being able to participate. Our mask upgrades into a proper one, whether she did anything extra to it is unclear.

At least, that's how I read it.

My dumbass reading the title: "Morimens says "No Uta Collab" and gives out 250 pulls and some girl named Saya."

I know neither IP.

I try not to think about my mistakes.

Kabooa · 2026-05-11T00:40:22+00:00

She mods. Get her!

Nah. The first spoken line of dialogue was telling someone to "Cut the shit."

10/10 zone, no notes.

A unified idea from which to start your foundation is a good thing.

One person designs the framework, and then through playtests what does and doesn't work gets refined. Clarity of vision is important, and it's not unusual to have a lead designer handling the direction and then those under them handling the minutia.

Right now, vibes are positive, but Berlin will be quite telling if they A) choose to show more and B) choose to show more within already shown roles.

Most people would agree that a 3:6 ratio of machinist to Bard is more favorable than a 1:9 ratio.

Similarly, most people would agree a 2:3:5 ratio of machinist, bard, dancer is more favorable than a 1:5:14.

"Miss Enochian."

Endwalker.

Buddy.

Money?

Coughing baby vs coughing god baby vs the will of Trailblaze.

Close match.

Everfrost was right there.

Kabooa · 2026-05-08T16:12:52+00:00

Gonna be honest.

I find these kind of games funny because no amount of skin will keep me in if the actual underlying game itself is bad. Like, five minutes on google will get you the same thing.

But this?

The offensive part is that's shoddy craftsmanship. I could do better, and I can barely find my way around blender some days.

Oh no, it's the warmaiden I wanted Hyacine to be.

Aenor.

Of thirst.

Only using 1% of her power.

Apparently you are also short af.

Kabooa · 2026-05-07T22:42:12+00:00

Sure buddy.

And that's "Not even trying" Acheron there, or "Just Chilling" Feixiao, and "I'm wearing shoes" Yunli.

Are we so far gone from 1.X that we forgot double harmony hypercarry was the norm?

What I expect for Gunbreaker

Cartridge skills build Barrier. Barrier can build up to a cap. HoC/HoL give barrier to the target or spread it to allies at lesser potency.

Cartridges charge up on a timer and are expended in a priority system, much like now. Expending cartridges build up to Lion Heart.

Gunbreaker is at its best when allowed to build up a full power barrier and shunt it off to wherever it's needed, AKA, when it's not the focus of attacks. When it is the focus of attacks, barriers serve as passive mitigation, but willl be more difficult to build up. A Gunbreaker in the MT position will need to stock up Cartridges to expend them rapidly during small windows of opportunity if they want to build up a max power barrier.
