Square's last MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game) was Final Fantasy XI. We reviewed it way back in issue 49 and gave it 85%, citing its major problem as a lack of accessibility. Because if you didn't have a large group of friends, all with PS2s, special PS2 hard-drives and import copies of the game, the fun was severely limited. But that's all changed in XIV, a timed PS3 exclusive. We interviewed producers Sage Sundi and Hiromichi Tanaka at GamesCom and they explained the changes they've made to make new MMO, FFXIV, fun for everyone, not just groups of friends.
