Square-Enix to announce next gen MMO at E3? Be different than FF XI

[xtop]

"Scuttlebutt Around The Industry suggets that Square Enix will finally unveil the follow-up to their almost 7 year-old massively multiplayer online RPG, Final Fantasy XI, at this June's E3 convention in Los Angeles. It's designed to coexist with (i.e., not replace) Square's long-running MMO, and FFXI Producer Hiromichi Tanaka tells us that the "next-generation MMO that we're working on is going to be different than Final Fantasy XI. And even though we have the same staff working on the project, we're not going to make something that'll be exactly like FFXI." With Square Enix's next time-sink just over the horizon, we decided to compile a wish list of elements that Square's next MMO should add- while ditching a lot of the dead weight found in FFXI."
