Square Enix has "four unannounced and in-development online titles" [Updated]
- Thread starter Nirolak

Not sure if current Square Enix has the capability to do that anymore.
That sounds great. I'm in.

I wish SE learned something with FROM's last games and will eventually provide interesting online features in their next RPGs.
Unfortunately, I agree with you.
Yeah, wish more 'single player' games had more unique online functionality, subtle online elements that integrate well into the main game. Even stuff like an online battle arena where your party can face off against an online opponent's, AI controlled would be okay too.
I would love to see some innovation like integrating something into a single player JRPG that gives you the impression you aren't the only adventurer, something like the messages on the ground in Dark Souls but beyond that.
In truth, there is no motivation for developers to try unique ideas like that, since it's unlikely it will pull in all kinds of new audiences but... a man can dream.
Plz don't be online iOS games.
That would be the best case scenario. You certainly don't want them to make more MMOs do you?
Being Square Enix circa this generation.
Honestly, I have nothing against them making cheap and quick browser and mobile games to their hearts content, if it's a quick buck and funds console titles, great. The problem is, they have so few of the latter that can compare to past gens.

SE :
"LOL, LOL, LOL... screw you, you're getting more iOS, browser and mobile games to play... get used to it biotches"
4 more at that...
This damn it. Amarant better be in this one too. Him, Vivi, or Beatrix.
Well it isn't like Square Enix will be able to remake a classic FF in a modern engine, they are pretty incapable of integrating classic FF stuff into modern games.
They would need to change a lot of stuff for a full blown console game too, the art direction of towns, characters and just about everything else would need to change.
Would be okay with a handheld remake that stays closer to the original.
If it is more like All the Bravest, so much for restoring faith in the Final Fantasy brand.
I think that is a problem Bravely Default Flying Fairy solved but of course they still don't feel the need to tell us it is coming.

Four lefts loops you around the block, burning money and time pointlessly while getting nowhere.
.....Certainly fits Square nowadays, doesn't it?
Pretty much looks like a studio that was setup after the whole casual/mobile/F2P boom happend. Nothing mindblowing is going to come out of them, that's for sure.

Are they specifically online or do they merely have online functionality?

Versus is now a free to play MMO - PC exclusive with characteristics of FPS games. Watch this actually happen
I still don't get the pervasive hate for online multiplayer, especially MMO's, here on GAF.
I have an extremely hard time playing games these days without some type of persistence. Everything else just feels so pointless. I want to play with other people, I want to compete with other people, I want to show off my skill and my accomplishments. I want to be part of a community.
This is why when I see people complaining about how in Skyrim for example, the NPC's don't acknowledge your accomplishments well enough. Well, why would you want the acknowledgement of an NPC anyways? Why spend hours grinding out some epic weapon that nobody is ever going to see but yourself? Why invest in a some shoddily written characters and a nonsensical plot? Video games are terrible in this regard. Go read a book, trust me it will be more enjoyable. There are just no compelling reasons to me for playing a single player game anymore.
And it's for that reason I say, bring it on SE. Give me ARR, give me KH3 online, make Versus Co-Op, give me everything you got, I'll take them all please. If even one of them is good I'll end up enjoying it more and playing it more than any single player game anyways. And don't forget SE has already made an excellent MMO. FFXIV may have been a misstep, but they did it once, they can do it again.
Note: I'm not saying anyone's opinion is wrong. If you like single player games only, that's fine. I'm just saying I don't understand why, and I'm getting a little irritated at the knee-jerk responses every time there's an announcement regarding an online title lately (Destiny, ESO, Crytek F2P etc etc
edit: I could go for a thread on this subject actually. I want to hear peoples responses.

Problem is. It's mainly a iOS and PC Browser game that gets revealed. And those tend to be small projects.
Give Tri Ace some money to do something.

They are probably helping with Lightning Returns. No VP3 for you.

I fully believe they're cranking out MMORPG sequels.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
I'm with you all the wa,y but people here are primarily single player folks. I shake my head every time people say they haven't played a good FF in a while and when questioned about 11 they say "it was online, I didn't play it!" Well..you missed out then. Putting aside 14's missteps, it'll probably be a great FF too. People just need to step out of their "I've been playing the same single player rpg formula my whole life" comfort zone..though look what happens when people don't get towns..
