According to an interview with Pro-G, Square-Enix will be bringing a brand new, next-gen MMO to the PC and Xbox 360 with a PlayStation 3 version also considered a possibility. From the interview:
Pro-G: So what are you working on now? Any plans for the future?
HT: I'm still working on XI as it's on-going but we are also working on a next-generation MMORPG for 360 and Vista but PS3 is a possibility.
And the MMO craze continues. I'm eagerly awaiting someone to do a console MMO right, but with Final Fantasy XI on their roster, my faith ain't so strong in Square.

With the advent of this generation of consoles the time is right to steal the MMO from the PC! With the headsets the keyboard is almost completely useless.
The only thing that it was required for was communication in PSO and the next 'real jump'(Vent ftw for MMOs is being able to communicate with one another via voice chat.
I for one welcome our new console MMO overlords! I'm an original creation, like Rickey Rouse, or Monald Muck
It wasn't until WoW that it was finally beaten down and slain, and cut into little pieces. Then thrown to the wind to be scattered throughout the four corners of Norrath.
Granted its popularity by the time WoW came out was nothing like had been back in its hayday. Still, it's not like SOE had the presence in China like WoW does today.
With the fact that Square has developed the new engine withh FFXIII and the fact that the Wii can't handle the unreal 3 engine, i was wondering why they got it... this would probably be the reason.
I can see them porting it over to the PS3 though, kind like how even though FFXI was orginally on PC, they brought it over to xbox... it damn well wsan't that popular on xbox, but it didn't really hurt to send it over... not to mention the PS3 could use a few good online games, seriously, wants the point of a free internet service if there are no good games to play... and the more popular they make PS3, the better it will be for FFXIII... so it's all win
I just hope this new MMO will be better than FFXI... i liked FFXI at first... but it's ABSOLUTE reliance on parties (except if you were a beastmaster) really killed it for me
FFXI would have been WAY better if it wasn't 100% party based and actually made it so you can do some decent leveling and money making while solo... partying would just be even better for both, and be nessasary for quests... i think that's generally how it is in WOW, though i never got into WOW...
god damn... either MMO's are addictive or i'm just plain blind and dumb... i'm going with the former
Lagging sales and the almight dollar changes allies quickly!
