It's seems SQUARE ENIX, is losing the Fan based, Causal and Hardcore Members alike, They realized this so what they are doing is dummying down Final Fantasy XI to cope with the low numbers of players that still play, And focusing to the "New Player" Also Final Fantasy XIV is their baby now so it seems they really don't care if Final Fantasy XI stays online for 2-10 more years they just "Need" it to pay for Final Fantasy XIV until it starts to pay for itself.
Yeah SQUARE ENIX, Want to make everyone on Final Fantasy XI happy, Also seems why Final Fantasy XIV is free2play this long, Cause in that Time sink where their playing for free and getting where they are its going to be that much tougher to quit once they start charging. "So they keep hanging around $.$", But at the rate Final Fantasy XI going, They are still losing members.
Some members wonder why Final Fantasy XI are losing its Fans/Causal/Hardcore players, Here's a thought it's a very old outdated M.M.O., People have moved on to brighter pastures, It's going in the wrong direction, I don't know maybe I'm just and old Fan trying to make sense of the future of Final Fantasy XI.
Kinda feels like trying to fit two bowling balls into a marble bag! Game was capped @ lv75 and all that content for the most part obsolete, Maybe if they updated the old zoned before coming out with level raise/Abyssea, Things would have been different.
No, this is not a SQUARE ENIX Fail thread, I'm just very interested as to what SQUARE ENIX has planned for the future of Final Fantasy XI playing this game for 8+ years and seeing we have Forums now, Why not use them and maybe get some feed back from the Dev and the Game directors.
---------------------------------------------------------We got Questions!-----------------
1.)Most of us participated in the Platform survey can we get any feed back on this?
2.)Is there any new content schedule? "not remapping or updates to old stuff"
3.)Are the consoles PS2/Xbox, Really holding back Final Fantasy XI?
4.)How many Devs are working on Final Fantasy XI?
5.)Are the makers of Final Fantasy XI happy with the direction the game is going?
6.)Is it true that the workforce is working on Final Fantasy XIV and Final Fantasy XI is under staff, If so are there plans to fix this, If yes would you have a time frame?
7.)Is the Mog House going to get an update?
8.)Is Procing going to be added to every mob with in the game?
9.)Was Final Fantasy XIV ever going to be Final Fantasy XI remake?
10.)Seeing Final Fantasy XI is an outdated game and most new games out there are less in a monthly cost will Final Fantasy XI ever get a price cut?
11.)Most consoles members are experience freezing/lockup could it because their consoles is outdated and most members really just need to move to the PC?
12.)How does SQUARE ENIX feel about some in game job classes overpowering others and does it really matter? "After all if all jobs were so balance so "equal" You would just be playing the job with a different name"
13.)Are there plans to revisit the level cap quests if so in what way?
14.)What makes another thread more important then another on these forums?
15.)This one is for the Final Fantasy XI Community, Do you have any questions for SQUARE ENIX and the Devs?, If so please list them. I'm sure I missed quite a few questions!
