Yup. FF Tactics had good music. As did Vagrant Story.

Just listening to those tunes takes me back in a very good way.

Oh God, if SE brought out a FF Tactics MMO, I would have a hardcore nerdgasm. That would just about be gamer heaven for me.

Square Enix MMO

will ignore the "ftp" factor for now, keep coming =)

Hey, it's Gamepot. Guess we'll hear more about this game from the weekly "F2P" advertisements column.

So:

- 4, close to 5 years old, so "new" without mentioning West is quite misleading.
- A P2P failed game that got re-released as F2P (not that it proves anything, see DDO, but still it goes again in the quite not so "new" mislead).
- Originally developed by Multiterm, that got absorbed by Fenix Soft. Where does Square Enix fit in the development thing (it's only a Publisher according to the Wikipedia page)? Just for translation and adaptation purposes, I guess, which if I am not wrong, is giving a wrong idea to Square Enix fans.
 

I'm curious as what the item mall advantages to generate revenue are, as it's PvP we are talking about, as there was zero information about such an important feature.

Anyone been able to apply for the beta? It just goes to a registration page for a Gamepot account, which I did, but still nothing. Only the clients for the other 2 games.

Ah man this is awesome.  Just when I was wondering how I was going to make it until FFXIV with only Magic the Gathering Online, Poxnora, Magic the Gathering Tactics, and Modern Warfare 2 BAM this comes along.

Awesome!  I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

Nobuo Uematsu is the only FInal Fantasy composer worth mentioning.

Well, here's hoping a f2p SquareEnix game can be better than the thousand+ asian grindtastics out there already.

FFT soundtrack ftw. Sakimoto is good.

I have wanted to see such a thing for years! Alas, nothing yet! Classic FFT however, not at all a fan of the cutesy new Advance series.

By the way, we have been informed the Fantasy Earth Zero teaser site is now available!

This game sounds interesting, and having Square Enix's name attached to it gives it some credibility, however, the F2P designation turns me off. I mean, any game with an item mall has sold xp potions, among many other items that do not exactly make you more powerful, but increase the likely-hood that you'll become more powerful faster than non-payers. I hate that kind of revenue system, and would rather P2P it or buy the box, and then it be F2P like Guild Wars was when it first released.

The game is indeed a few years old and was originally developed by Square Enix.  If I remember correctly, it was only released in Asia and didn't meet expectations and rights were sold to another company to run it.

Basically, Square Enix is doing what Turbine did for DDO - converting to F2P and re-releasing it over here.

After reading the article I expect great things from this and will definitely be checking it out when it's released.

I haven't researched the game, but from the looks o it from here, it seems like there isn't much open world, if any and it's going to play like a fighter/shooter almost in instances....kinda like global agenda, I guess. That's just what I think, anyway. I don't know for sure.

Thanks for the site link.

After watching some youtube videos, it makes me think of Final Fantasy RvR.

The battles seem to have many layers, with strategic locations, and destructible buildings etc.

It really looks like it could be a wickedly fun game to me. Can't wait to play.

Nice update.

With S.E now owning Eidos S.E. can be seen as a western publisher / developer now.

Hmm anything with Square Enix on it means I will really look into the game. I am bored as bored gets waiting for ffxiv, so I dont have nothing to play. I have always said if anyone is going to get PvP right it will be SE ironically. 

btw what does it takes for this game to get listed here on MMORPG.com?

PvP with 5 different factions, made by Square Enix?

I'm interested.

Yeah, I'm considering getting a few friends, making elves, and going Silvanesti on people.

Should be interesting to see how this game will fair. As its from SE it should be good.

Looks great finally a Final Fantasy ish game thats F2P woot i'm in.

Edit. the intro movie reminds me of Kingdom Hearts a lot. (graphically)

Free to play?, promising combat? (No button mashing), I am so in ;p.
