Grinding Gear Games has announced that Path of Exile 2 will be a full-blown standalone sequel while also announcing the closed beta date in time for ExileCon.

So Rondo/Symphony with bits of Bloodlines thrown in there?
I'm guessing? I know the series isn't remotely following the games as far as the timeline is concerned but it Considering Elizabeth Bathony is the Villian this time and she apparently stoked WW1 to get some sweet blood magic, this doesn't seem that far off, just in the 1790s French Revolution timeline.
Okay, checking the wiki Symphony/Rondo take place in 1792 so that's right on the money as far as time period goes.
Yeah, it's mainly adapting Rondo of Blood, but I am sure elements of Symphony will be snuck in there. I am surprised they're using Bathony as the main villain, but I am not complaining, since TV series is going in a completely different, but some similar direction of the games.

I can only imagine someone was a big fan of Bloodlines and wanted to get Bathony in there somehow, and Vamps are normally immortal so why not?

Also seems like a bit of a waste, if you have a couple of super programmer, maybe don't have them spend their time on a feature that almost nobody would use (why go trough the trouble of login into an mmo to play a game that's almost certainly available on w/e your playing it on). More interesting would be making the older FF game an actual part of the mmo, playing trough the story and dungeon but using the MMO system, could make for some cool content in between expansion.
The CD ROM version Day of the Tentacle had a fully playable version of Maniac Mansion inside it back in 1993. Apparently that was the first example of such a thing.
Guys, I think the main issue is the server-side component. Combined with Squeenix's batshit convoluted backend and server design decisions made over a decade ago, it's probably a tad more complicated than just booting Final Fantasy 6 up on your local computer or personal server instance
Oh sure, but at the end of the day its exactly the same for the user side, so why waste the man power designing it?
Either the user has to buy them, in which case there's no advantages compare to just buying them standalone, or they're free, in which case SE is using programmer time to develop something that they won't see any return on (why would someone buy the game and subscribe to play something they could just buy them standalone?).
One thing that stands out to me is the fact that.....all of those games all already available standalone, so why would you really want to spend your FFXIV playtime playing them inside FFXIV? I mean, I guess if you already did all the FFXIV stuff available and was waiting for new content but you could also just...buy the actual game and play it on your switch or whatever when you otherwise can't play FFXIV?
If someone wants to spend their FFXIV time playing FFIII or whatever, that's up to them but I'm not sure how many people this really appeals to.
That's not good. I may not like Dying Light 2, but Techland does not deserve that.
