During the same Q&A session where Square Enix CEO Yochi Wada dropped hints at Final Fantasy Versus XIII’s multi-platform move, he also reconfirmed that the company’s next big MMORPG is still planned for a 2010 release.
“We will release it( FFXIV) this fiscal year.” Wada stated. Remember, a fiscal year isn’t the same as a Calendar year. Fiscal year 2010 includes January-March 2011 so FFXIV could still see a 2011 release. Wada also mentioned the game may have a subscription service although he was tight lipped on any more details.
Final Fantasy XIV is currently in Alpha stages of testing and will be released for the PC and PS3. Square Enix previously mentioned that the company is in talks with Microsoft regarding a 360 version of the mmorpg.
Someone punch Wada’s face for me!
