Game: True Fantasy Live Online
Didn't Come Out: 2004
What It Wasn't: If ever there was going to be amust-play Massively Multiplayer Online RPG for the Xbox, this was it. Developer Level-5's killer app for Xbox Live offered everything a role-player could want: skill-building, deep character customization, questing (both solo and group) and a little sliver of cyberspace to decorate as your own. Said Official Xbox Magazine in the Holiday 2003 issue: "It's like the real world, except better ... and with trolls."
Will It Live Again? Not anymore. TFLO's ambitious design was its strength and its downfall; it was just too complicated to complete in the original timeframe. If they'd kept development up, it wouldn't have b🐼een out until late 2005 at the earliest, and Microsoft (which was publishing it) knew that 360 was en route for the same timeframe. This coulda had a chance, but no less an authority than Microsoft big, high, mucky-muckPeter Moore rece🍒ntly confirmed that it's officially a goner.
