только что наткнулся на ролик с е3 2005, некую тех демонстрацию новой MMO от SE которая на самом деле оказалась FF14.

2005: Square-Enix shown this tech demo May 2005 at E3. At the time they said it was just a technical demonstration using either DX10/X360 generation hardware to see what limits they could push.
2006 (March): Nine months later at the FFXI Fan Festival 2006, FFXI developers shown pics of this tech demo and revealed this was in fact development of the new MMORPG. They did not confirm if the footage was in fact just experimentation or early development.
2006 (Summer): To counter a rumor published in a Japanese magazine that this was the sequel to FFXI, Square-Enix issued an official press release on their website that this is NOT a sequel to Final Fantasy XI.
2007 (April): Rumor hits the internet that someone affliated with Square-Enix leaked info at GDC 2007 that this was a Dragon Quest MMO in alpha stage development and may or may not be this title. Highly unlikely.
2007 (November): At the 2007 FFXI Fan Festival when asked on the current status of the new MMO project they stated...
"As you might already know, members from the current FFXI team are working on a next generation MMO, but it still hasn't been decided whether that's going to be a game in the FF series, a continuation, or a totally new game. We are working on it, but it hasn't been decided that far yet."
2008: Rumor articles surfaced in December that this new MMO will be officially announced at E3 09.
2009: During E3 09 Sony Press Conference this title was announced as Final Fantasy XIV
а вот уже офиц. трейлер появившейся на прошлой неделе
