So far, all that has been said is that the <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=343783">new game will be "different </a>from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/final-fantasy-xi/"><em>Final Fantasy XI</em></a>."  Gee.  Thanks.  Helpful. <br /><br />This is not terribly different from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/21/the-digital-continuum-square-enixs-next-mmo/">what they said about six months ago</a> now regarding the new game. And according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiromichi_Tanaka">Hiromichi Tanaka</a>, Senior VP of Software Development, the same team that worked on <em>FFXI</em> will be on this next project. Given the resounding and lasting success of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tags/final-fantasy"><em>Final Fantasy</em></a> franchise, it <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/28/square-enixs-next-mmo-may-not-be-final-fantasy-related/">may be hard to give up the name recognition</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/12/16/square-enix-will-differentiate-its-next-effort-from-ffxi/">Square Enix will differentiate its next effort from FFXI</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 16 Dec 2008 19:00:00 EST.
