Tanaka confirms MMO for 360 and Vista (and possibly PS3)

This one goes way back. We have to untangle a lot of weeds here, so bear with us. During the first part of 2006, around March and April, there were rumors about a new Square Enix MMO as well as rumors about Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy VII. A lot has changed for the FF titles but regarding the MMO one, it seems that things are still pushing forward as planned.

Director and Executive Producer Hiromichi Tanaka was recently interviewed by gaming site Pro-G about the DS version of Final Fantasy III. We were quite excited about the interview but you all know how those go: game features, details, developments, and stuff. But toward the end of the discussion, something glimmered and caught our attention.

Accordingly, Pro-G asked Tanaka regarding his and Square Enix’s future plans. Wonder what his response was? All smiles, the game director stated, “I’m still working on XI as it’s on-going but we are also working on a next-generation MMORPG for 360 and Vista but PS3 is a possibility.”

Wait, hold on. An MMO between Xbox 360 users and Vista is not entirely new as Microsoft has revealed this already in the past. But a PS3 and Vista MMO? Now, that is something. And honestly, we can’t imagine PS3 users meeting with Xbox 360 players in a virtual environment.

Nope, we really can’t picture the two meeting. But we most can certainly imagine them fight. This is going to be good.
