Do you think it would be a good idea to bring it out?

Edit: You could not play as any of the main characters, but design your own, and was not level based but skill based whereas you had to master skills during training, but you could choose 2 of the other main chars to join you and you could make a squad, a bit like in naruto. You could either side with the goodies or baddies, or different villages and have to fight the opposition. You would start off with only a few skills, but in time you could master more and more and fill your hotbar with all the different skills you learnt.

Thoughts?

You'd enjoy a MMO where you one of the hundreds on each of those characters running around on the same server?

I could just google to see what or who "Naruto" is, but something tells me I don't really wanna know...

if they made one i'd play it, 100s of different jutsu's and fighting styles man it would be great.

as long as its skill based and not lvl and they limit a few things

There is a Naruto fighting game coming out in not too long, and I believe that is the best potential a game of the Naruto franchise has. Al though it could be interesting to have an MMORPG with the same theme as the animes like naruto, bleach etc.

Think of LOTRO?

There are several Naruto games around at the moment, although I don't believe some of them qualify as mmos, and I'm not sure which ones are legitimate. I think Narutimate ninja 2 or whatever it's called has online.

i think the only way to make a naruto mmo would be to set the story inside that world
and have different ways of "evolving" ur own character.

theres no way it can be successful if they just use the chars of the anime.

Not a chance!!!!!!!!!!

I guess instead of picking class you'd pick village and either pick your clan or have it random generated.  Probably would be a heavy pvp and rvr game.  Still, dont look for this one to ever be made for real.  

The game name could be The Shinobi world(it would take palace in Naruto world) and no Naruto or others anime chars can be taken.you are just a ninja who starts as a genin.

I think any idea has potential it just depends on how the idea is carried out! I think the game would be good if the main characters from the game were NPCs and/or used in instanced training sessions to learn different jutsus from. It should also be purely skill based, and sandbox styled.

It could work, when you CANNOT pick any of the main characters.  You could model after them, but not become them...

Combine with a complex enough system of jutsus and skills, you could have an interesting game. 

BTW, this would also mean that if you want great battles between ninja, pick a better timeline than the manga/anime one.  Maybe one of the great ninja war (i.e. BEFORE the anime/manga)... it gives more freedom in design and storyline.

I agree. I've been wondering when they're gonna come out with an online game. The OP has a good point about teams too. Control up to three at a time just like SOTNW. It'd be cool to have unique NPCs too.

No.

The idea sounds like mass pvp.  Hell yeah!!!

Well there is a Dragon Ball Z  MMORPG about to go into Closed Beta in korea.  So a Naruto MMORPG can't be too far behind.

As much as i LOVE naruto, look what happened to LOTRO and then tell me if you still want a naruto mmo

I can see it now, Pein, Blue Hair, Tobi/Uchiha Madara & Kabuchimaru (Kabuto with oro's cells after Sasuke killed him) beeing the last raid bosses ^^. Anyway it would be a good idea but it has to wait till the manga is finished.

anime games never looked good. too cartoony, even more than wow. if they did it right though maybe itll be good.
