You mean FFXIV. Final Fantasy XIII is already out and is not an MMO.
To the Original Poster, DC Universe Online is due out in a week or so I believe. Last I heard FFXIV has been delayed for the PS3 yet again. I've also heard that Free Realms is due out on the PS3 at some point, possibly this year. I believe there is supposed to be another MMO..... The Agency or something like that.
All things considering, none of the announced MMORPGs interest me and I'd prefer to play MMOs on the PC.
White Knight Chronicles has some limited MMO aspects in it's online community but I can't tell you much about that. Sorry.
The Agency
DCUO
Final Fantasy XVI
Freerealms (more pay to play like wizard 101 etc)
that's all that's announced for now. DCUO is the best bet. it's a killer MMO like None I've played before.
I was a BIG Ultima Online fan back in the day and also a Big Diablo fan
I feel if you liked them you're going to love DCUO! as I do!

Games I am Currently Playing: BattlefieldBadCompany2, *Preordered* Two Worlds 2, NOW PLAYING DC universe Online! 1-11-11!!!! add me!
I was actually a Big UO fan from way back when, eventually moved to EQ, EQ2 but I have to disagree about DCUO.
I kind of like the "grinding" aspect of both UO and EQ and DCUO has none of that. While DCUO is a fine game (I only played PS+ Beta) it is not really my personal cup of tea.
If you like action it is probably fine but I want MMO interaction and "grinding".
That's just my 2cp, oh and PS3 = EQ3... pure marketing genius!
WKC isn't a wide scaled MMO. Imagine it like this.
- You go to a save point, and are given to option to go online.
- Once online, you are brought to an ingame thing called "Geonet", that is sort of laid out like a website profile, with tabs, including your georama space, forums (yes, in game forums), logs, friends, and so on.
- Your georama, is pretty much equivalent to your server. You can go there, and advertise it on the forums, trying to get people to visit, or, you can visit other people's.
- If you go to someone else's, you will logged into a space, or town, depending how the owner of the town designed it, and up to 12 people can join that room you are in. It is actually a townsized room, not city, just a small town, and where you log in, there is a gate with a guard.
- You talk to the guard, and you can set up a quest at a location you have been to before, or join a quest.
- Once you have joined or set one up, you will be sent automatically to the area the quest takes place, where you can wait for more questers to join, or the host of the room there, can start it up pre-maturely. If you start it, the quest takes place in that one area, and one area only. Example below:
Example:
- I log into geonet.
- I go to my friends list, and choose to go to their homepage.
- I make a room in their town/server thing.
- I wait for 5 minutes, and a friend of mine joins me.
- I walk up to the guard, talk to him, and host a room. (At this point, I can choose the Balandor Plains, The Greydall Plains, and a nearby cave)
- I choose the Greydall Plains, right in the middle of those two other areas, since I can go there.
- I log into the quest, and 15 seconds later, my friend joins. We wait for a bit, and two more people join.
- I start the quest.
After the quest as started, there will be boarders on the map, to where you can and cannot go. If you start in Greydall, like I do here, you cannot leave greydall. If I start in the cave, I cannot leave the cave, unless I abort the quest and host a new quest elsewhere, or complete the quest.
Think of it more as a "Pick your point and go quest there" sort of game.
You cant find a good MMO for the PS3 because there arent any. But, WKC2 might scratch your MMO itch for you.
A simpler way to describe White Knight Chronicles II is ....
Offline plays like a classic party based Final Fantasy game, with modern 3D MMO type graphics and an active turn based battle system, deep character creation / customization & skill trees.
Online is all instanced, with lobbies, very similar Guild Wars. Though in my opinion, much better than GW.
Theres also guilds, voice chat, item trading, etc., etc.
Theres no PvP, so if thats your thing, youll have to look elsewhere
It should also be said that WKC2 is a great value (IMO) that will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay, both online and off.
Myself and a few others from these forums are playing it, and probably will be until FFXIV releases.
