Wow...the FF Series is finally going to see a second MMO. Let's hope that they make it more PC-user friendly this time around haha. It was a great concept, but the gameplay on the PC was too iffy for me.

Final Fantasy XIV - hands-on
Join us on a journey frought with danger, marmots, and cat girls
Aug 16, 2010
Final Fantasy XIV has its sights laser-tuned for a very specific audience: people who played (and enjoyed) Final Fantasy XI. From our three-hour hands-on, what we gathered from the experience is that the latest online offering of Final Fantasy is preaching to the converted. Those who loved FFXI will probably love FFXIV, since it aims to improve upon, expand, and doll-up the earlier formula.
