I'm a bit confused by your response, but in the end, it seems like we both agree it was a mistake. :)

Edit: I'll add in, in all fairness, hindsight being 20/20 and such when it comes to the...

Seems to me like the biggest mistake was designing the game to rely on the PS2's devkits rather than building it for PC and porting it over... Then again, like it's been pointed out many times...

I can kinda understand the restrictions on the voice submissions, if only because if they let every key/pitch/etc into the mix, it's gonna sound like a huge jumbled mess during the chorus. Even if...

I was only pointing out that people tend to confuse the two games as one and the same. FFXI Mobile has been explained to be more or less a mobile client for a game meant to play in a similar fashion...

They may have announced that they had plans to end the game in the past, but in this situation, they've actually announced the plans themselves.

Obviously, nothing is for certain, but as it...

I've seen quite a few people confuse the Grandmasters game and FFXI Mobile as the same thing. They've specifically stated they intend to release FFXI Mobile in areas including and outside of Japan,...

What is going on in the person's life that they spend their free time to harass someone on an MMORPG?

I can understand the problem and hope SE is able to implement something, but this particular...

I think some just wanna throw the doom and gloom party too soon. I can understand the anxiety for those who've put far more time into the game than I have.

Personally, my mobile phone is a Lumia...

I can understand that, but that doesn't guarantee that Final Fantasy XI Mobile will go the same way. Square Enix has already proven that they take their Final Fantasy IP very seriously (considering...

They recently expanded the number of RoE quests you can have active at a time. That's one example of a Quality of Life adjustment. The idea of there being absolutely no bugs is a bit optimistic.

I find it interesting that you talk about how people need to get their heads around F2P because people associate it with bad F2P games, meanwhile you're convinced to the level of clairvoyance as to...

The PC version is completely free to anyone who already has an account ( http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/download/media/install_win.html - Full game + all expansions/add-on content ), and their...

The free access period is over, how else are they gonna log back in?? I kid, I kid...

I feel like it'd be better to leave the cash shop as an option for cosmetics, if you're really going to do...

I'm not sure why sustaining their player base after the game goes into maintenance mode would be one of their priorities... Between Grand Masters and the mobile client, they've clearly decided to put...

I'm not sure why you're baffled. They've outright stated that when they had to choose between "increase revenue from the game" or "reduce spending on the game", they concluded to go with the latter....

Well, I'm not here trying to say it was a great idea and will mean great things for FFXI after RoV or anything, just pointing out the reasoning SE gave. It just means that they can make further QoL...

If I'm not mistaken, there's certain aspects of the game they can still provide updates and patches for without actually needing to render anything (and therefore not need to use the PS2 devkits)....

That link to the Freshly Picked Vana'diel Update earlier in this thread gives their answer as to why: They intend to continue small updates involving balancing, bugs, and improving Quality of Life...

Thanks for the link, YosemiteYogorockBlondelle, definitely cleared some things up for me.

Console service doesn't get cut until the conclusion of RoV. It sounds like it isn't related to any kind...

It feels like SE is trying to minimize the cost of keeping FFXI alive without shutting it down altogether. Between winding down the story by announcing its conclusion, the announcement of two...

I defiinitely didn't bother with forums back in the day like I do now, but honestly, the graphics look fine to me. Dated, sure, but lots of MMOs toned the graphics back a little bit compared to...

I think you've made a couple of errors in the questions. I noticed they're mostly in pairs with "how interested" then "how likely", but on the one about HD remake with no new story content, you...

Well, now it's my turn to state that I wasn't trying to imply that the button addition would be simple, only that asking for it isn't going to throw them out of whack. SE knows what they can/can't do...

This is a forum, I most certainly didn't "interrupt" you.

Your mind can work any way it does, however that isn't going to change how the rest of the world works. No one is requiring your...
