seriously does Tetuya Nomara realize he's flamingly gay

Edit: Somebody learn enough Japanese to send him an e-mail something like 'you and me are the same in many ways' and he gave you the courage and experience points to come out

as far as i know Nomara has nothing to do with FFXIV, so no running around in a zipper suit with 4 belts.

Is cloud going to be in it? That's "Cloud", that's his name, I don't mean clouds. I'm sure the game will have clouds. In the sky.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a joke or if this really happened

*Steals piccy* OOH!
 I wonder if anyone would have the balls to cosplay that. . .
And don;lt forget, Massy, about the other two XIII games...

Final Fantasy XIV is PS3 exclusive because Microsoft didn’t want it.

Just felt it was worth mentioning. Thought the idea was kind of funny.
This story is inaccurate. The reason they can't put it on Xbox 360 is the way the servers work. XBL games aren't allowed to just connect randomly to anywhere on the internet (ie, mmorpg servers), they have to connect to specific, closed, xbox 360 only, servers. Its my understanding (and I'm pretty sure SE made a PR to this effect) that this is the issue, and not that "Microsoft didn't want it".

It was a closed Xbox 360 server that couldn't connect to the PC and PS2 versions of the game.
The only game that I can think of now that has had cross platform gaming for 360 is Shadowrun for 360 and PC.

Well, I see 3 problems with this game:

1. It's a Final Fantasy game
2. MMORPG
3. I Don't think a game could look any more generic and uninspired than this

completely wrong
not 100% sure, but i believe the Play Online service SE had for FFXI(and a few other games), that was require to play the game, had something to do with it.  Since SE no longer plans to use POL for any more games, it can't be used to play ffxiv on  the 360.

Also FFXI recently had its level cap increased to 80(from 75) and will be at 99 by the end of this year, fortunetly new content over the last few years has made grinding much faster from 1-75 and the latest Add-on allows whole alliances(three 6 man parties) to get absolutely ridiculous xp/hr

Thank goodness, but I contest that second claim.

An accurate version would be that Microsoft didn't want to stray from its closed down platform to accommodate to Square Enix. The only way this could have worked is if PC and PS3 servers were really specific Xbox 360 servers.

Oops, you are completely right, sorry about that :/.  It was apparently the first cross platform MMORPG too; I thought it was closed, but what do I know, I never played the game.
Also, my roommate got into the beta, I'll ask him how it is.

This is the best description I've heard of his character designs.

I also would've accepted prostitute with absolutely impractical jewelery tastes.

Exactly what I was thinking,This game is going to fail more than 13 did for sure.
