E3 rumour

I posted the 3d rumor and now it's gone, will people stop removing posts without adding it to the discussion of why. I am just going to report the people that did it for vandle. Considering this is a STUB, with no edits in almost a year, a widely announced rumor is fine, it's on many sites. Plus it's stated not factual.

Discuss before you remove.

I've heard of this on petfoodalpha.com if you looking for another source.

Concept video

I am not 100% sure that concept video is for this game, seeing as it's apparently from 2005. --Zeno McDohl ^(talk) 16:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

It's mentioned in one the articles: it's not. It's a technical demo for the Xbox 360, unrelated to this. – Seancdaug 01:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Again, you are in error. At the FFXI Fan Festival 2006, Square-Enix revealed that the tech demo was in fact development of the new MMORPG to follow Final Fantasy XI. This is NOT a sequel to Final Fantasy XI. They even presented slides.

We'll need a source, in that case. --Zeno McDohl ^(talk) 00:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I also feel the need to point at that Seancdaug's comment, It (the tech demo) was mentioned in one of the articles, and therefor it isn't, is completely wrong. It is only briefly mentioned in one of the articles, and all it states is "Square Enix has previously shown trailers for a next-generation MMORPG engine without actually announcing a final product based on it." This does not deny it was footage of the untitled project itself.

Page name

Anyone else think that this should be "Untitled Square Enix MMORPG" instead? Since in case SquareEnix announces another game (but not a name), it could cause conflict. --Zeno McDohl ^(talk) 23:53, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I second that! --Quintes 11:34, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Fantasy Earth Zero

Could this game be the game that this page refers to?

I know it's not the Fantasy Earth game that was already released in JP. --Zeno McDohl ^(talk) 01:26, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

A little edit..

After checking the sources, I am inclined to think that the Xbox360 was never officially mentioned. The interviwe with the producer simply stated that it was in development for PS3 and PC. Xbox360 was brought up by Niekii which was later proved false by Square's official notice. Of course, I am not entirely sure so feel free to bring up anything that I may have missed.

I actually interviewed Tanaka at E3 2007. He did mention they would be developing for Xbox360. See my interview here. Ganiman 21:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

White Engine

I think use of the engine should be mentioned. Quote: “Development is proceeding smoothly now, with the framework now beginning to take shape. Last year we went through a development reorganization, with the development of our own cross-platform middleware – the white engine. This is the foundation for FFXIII and the new MMO. It’s safe to say that it won’t be much longer before I’m able to unveil even more secrets about what the future holds for Square Enix.” Sources: AGDC: How Square Enix Hunts The Hunters, Square Enix's White Engine is cross platform and Austin GDC: Live at the Hiromichi Tanaka keynote GLdK 05:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Final Fantasy XIV

Apparently there are rumblings that this is, in actuality, Final Fantasy 14, and is being devloped concurrently with 13, hence the glacial pace of development of both games. Keep your eyes out for a source, because (and here I take off my Wikipedia hat, and slip on my fanatical gamer one) that would be effing awesome. 72.240.220.234 (talk) 09:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

There are also rumblings that this is actually a football game developed by a team of Costa Rican slave workers. Keep your eyes for a source, etc. FightingStreet (talk) 10:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Then there are those rumors that you have something to contribute, which you have just dashed to pieces; so thanks. 72.240.220.234 (talk) 05:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Now, now, no need to start a flame war. It is possible that it could be FF14 in disguise, but I really doubt it. Square Enix already has an MMORPG that they have claimed to still be adding to. Also, the Fabula Nova Crystalis thing is probably the thing that's causing the glacial pace of development.Phoenix1304 (talk) 08:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Fighting, please watch the biting. Axem Titanium (talk) 00:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Says the editor who tried to redirect Final Fantasy VII (Famicom) without any discussion. FightingStreet (talk) 15:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but was that ad hominem? I couldn't tell because the sound of you murdering WP:NPA was too loud. Axem Titanium (talk) 23:32, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

PS3

I did an edit to add the PS3 to the list, this has been removed.

I am not sure why when it has been said on the previous interview a user did below: http://forums.ffxiclopedia.org/viewtopic.php?t=5032

That they're shooting for PS3

Is wiki xbox fanboy? lol —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vixonx (talk • contribs) 05:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

A forum post isn't a reliable source, that's why.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 06:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

It was reliable for xbox 360 and PC.... :S lol. So why isn't it reliable for PS3? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vixonx (talk • contribs) 03:50, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

They announced over a year ago it was coming to PS3 and not XBox360, and now they reversed it, and so that is why it is as it is. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Ganiman is the owner of the FFXiClopedia website, which is the largest FFXI Wiki site and is supported by Square Enix ( http://www.playonline.com/polapps/s/fansite.site.Top?polg_loc=en ). The forum post was directory from his personal Interview with Square Enix, and is no different than him posting an article itself on the internet over a forum post. This is a reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aikar (talk • contribs) 08:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

GDC

At first the article was talking about info released at E3 2008, there was no info of Rapture released at E3 2008. That info was released at GDC 2008 and was already cited to the article. So I edited it to GDC 2008 instead of E3 2008. Now my IP address got reported for vandalism, while now the most current version still has GDC 2008 like it should be.

So I pretty much got called on vandalism for no reason... thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.93.87 (talk) 20:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Whats happening

Seems since February this has died. I've not heard a single thing from it. Anything leaked?

Also where did we get the info that there was a "estimated" Q4 2009 release? I HUGELY doubt it. It's Square Enix... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vixonx (talk • contribs) 10:11, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
