Well I'll be darned.
As a long-time fan of FFXI (even though my account has been dormant for ages), I'm
very intrigued to learn that FFXIV will be another online game. And judging by the images, it looks to be a continuation or upgrade of the existing world of Vana'diel -- arguably the most developed world in the Final Fantasy franchise outside of FF Tactics and FFXII's Ivalice.
And that's very likely an older, rougher version of
Aldo featured in the released images. He's one of the main non-player characters featured in FFXI's storyline, looking oh-so-glorious in hi-definition graphics.
Will be keeping an eye on this iteration, that's for sure.
