Indeed, it is confirmed and official. Final Fantasy XIV (14) has been announced and it will be a MMORPG.
The new game looks to be going back to the OG for Square Enix; swords, spells, and airships abound. FF XIV is headed for a global release sometime in 2010.
Will be uploading trailer if I can find one on youtube on gametrailers. (darn..not at home now :P )

Here’s some more info:
“The development for FFXIV started 4 or 5 years ago with primary ideas. Development started a few years ago, while FFXI was still being supported. FFXI will continue to be supported. There is another year of content planned. There are no plans for the near future to stop development on FFXI. ”
“As with WoW, we want to aim a bit for the casual user. However, we don’t want to make a copy of WoW. We believe we will have things that are unique and will stand out from that game. ”
“All of the knowledge and experience we gained from FFXI will be used in the development of FFXIV. At the launch, we intend to have content for solo players as well as large-scale battles. We want a wide-variety from the start.”
“The current plans are to have worldwide servers that are cross-platform and cross-region. We will do a beta test and look at the balance and player experience. We want to look for a good balance between region and cross-region play. ”
“We envision users that will hopefully play XI one day and XIV another. They will be independent, but users are free to play both. ”
“We are trying to implement a lot of new systems that other MMO’s haven’t used in the past.”
Wonder if this means 1 subscription for both games at a discount. I wouldnt see myself switching back and forth if it werent. I am more excited about this game than any other game 2010 could mean winter 2010 =(
