At the E3 press conference video game company Square Enix showcased the long awaited new version of its popular role-playing game series, Final Fantasy XIII. They have also shown a quick trailer from that game’s follow up, Final Fantasy XIV. Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, XIV will be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG).
Final Fantasy XIV is slated for a 2010 release, same as Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix has not released any futher details about Final FantasyXIV just yet, but they have launched a site where fans can watch the trailer video and screenshots of the game.

Here’s some more info:
“The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago, while FFXI was still being supported. FFXI will continue to be supported. There is another year of content planned. There are no plans for the near future to stop development on FFXI. ”
“As with WoW, we want to aim a bit for the casual user. However, we don’t want to make a copy of WoW. We believe we will have things that are unique and will stand out from that game. ”
“All of the knowledge and experience we gained from FFXI will be used in the development of FFXIV. At the launch, we intend to have content for solo players as well as large-scale battles. We want a wide-variety from the start.”
“The current plans are to have worldwide servers that are cross-platform and cross-region. We will do a beta test and look at the balance and player experience. We want to look for a good balance between region and cross-region play. ”
“We envision users that will hopefully play XI one day and XIV another. They will be independent, but users are free to play both. ”
“We are trying to implement a lot of new systems that other MMO’s haven’t used in the past.”
