View Full Version : New Expansion Pack Ideas
SE You should take the time travel thing further. Bring us into the future bring Time mage into the game grant them damage over time spells heal over time spells 1-7 haste and hastega 1-4 slow and slowga1-4 regain refresh they could get retrace and trace they could be the only ones with access to the spell Float which I will explain more of in a second. Also they would play a major role in the new expansion. It could be Vanadiel in the future. You could bring in a new Crafting job Machinist to craft all types of machinery engines etc.. You could use the maws to access the future from the present time Vanadiel. Time Mage could cast retrace to warp people to the past or trace to warp them to the future. This is a chance to bring some old Final Fantasy elements into the game like dungeons with lava poison and acid floors which Float will come in handy with from Time Mage in order to not take damage from the floors. Also would like to see some Factory dungeons, buildings. We need an Underwater dome city with poeple living there and shops etc.. could use some type of submarine for transportation to it I would also like to see a snow covered town with snow in the streets and everywhere we can visit to buy stuff etc... Also some newer areas designed for high levels with these.Id like to see Necromancer added with this Undead do walk during the day they have no concept of time so they wont care if it is day or night they are restless. You could make some Dark types of dungeons or graveyards. Necromancer would work like summoner bloodpact with a different name make undead pet use Curse Doom Death Amnesia and lots of other stuff like that.I also think it would be cool to be able to meet Lilisette in the future maybe it could even be a sequel to the wings of the goddess. It would be awesome to actually be able to meet the Goddess Altana in this expansion story.

A paragraph is defined by a topic, not a length.

One thing I'd have to say about the future part. What I like about FFXI is that it dose not have all of the generic, rediculous future tech that other FF games have.

If I made a laser gun out of a potato would that be future tech or just an old laser gun :/
There are no grammar limitations I said everything I felt like saying and if it got the point across then it obviously worked. And next time do not make fun of the way I typed since I did that on purpose. And I never made fun of or did anything to anyone on here to get made fun of for it. SE will ditch the ps2 sooner or later anyways because of the limitations and the fact that the system has been out of date for quite some time now.

It didn't get the point across because I didn't bother to read it. It may very well be the most brilliant thing ever written, but I refuse to give myself a headache in order to find out.
I realize my opinion doesn't matter though. You posted it here, because you though someone from SE would read it, and pass it along to the development team. I can assure you, they too will skip over it, because no one wants to read a wall of text like that. Especially not people who are busy enough as it is.

I know how about FFxi with a starship that shoots photon torpedoes and can go warp 10 and use subspace radio to communicate to its home base on earth with a "starfleet" academy where you can train new recruits and starship captains that explore new worlds and encounter new races and and and and yes ive broken the longest sentence in history record.

Oh I'm pro Time Mage I'd go as far as to say it'd be my #1 choice alongside Chemist. Just against Necromancer until all of the classics have gotten in and even then I think it's less interesting and suited to the series than the more obscure classes like Onion Knight, Mediator, Calculator etc.

Personal picks?
Chemist: AoE potions and item effects, spontaneous creation of usable items, maybe bonuses for their manufacturing.
Geomancer: Ground changes, power changes, simple enough said.
Personal favorite absolute do want forever?
MIMICS. MIMES. Whatever you want to call them! Mimic the powers and buffs of enemies they fight! Mimics powers and buffs of their allies! Their two hour ability could be miming the two hour of any other member in their party, as well as the skills for it! (Dancer has trance, use dancer powers. Dragoon would be generic in boosting your stats, or maybe YOU eat their wyvern then start using jump or breath attacks) and so on!
I think this would be a hilarious job class to play! Imagine the possibilities! Not to mention the artifact gear could be GOGO's outfit, and the relic could be the cute masks and get ups from tactics! :D

How far in the future we talking about? Are we going to be able to have T-Shirts, Black Leather pants, someone makes a blade into a gun barrel, remove appendages for gun barrels, weapons fold in and out when being used, helicopters, skyscrapers, business suits, and a machine that stabilizes a big ball of water?
Wonder what ppl of the future are going to think when this character walks out of a portal wearing this weird old armor in such fine condition.
But in all seriousness, not a bad plug for Time Mages.

I like the whole future idea for an expansion, and give us an area called: The end of time and then we got ourselves another variation of the Chrono Trigger game.... I don't care what it has to take Square Enix to make a Time Mage though but I'd really love to see it added somehow and I see so many great ideas floating around to make the job quite unique and not another RDM, BLM, SCH, WHM, etc. copycat.
Time Mage and Necromancer seem to be among the most popular job suggestion add-ins that if SE does ever decide to give us any new jobs then hopefully it'll be at least these two. Machinist can be another job add-in too for a future-type expansion or I guess a craft to build machines. It'll also go good with pup automation new parts and maybe they can build some sort of robots that we can use for something.

How about 1,000 years into the future? How does that sound? Give us a high-tech city too like that of Esther in FF8.

And there they could have Blitz ball and omg we come from a land that was destroyed 1000 years ago! oh wait...
:P
To be serious, when WoTG came out I thought that they would have made a future expansion following it, since they were going the whole time travel route.
One thing I would love to see if they somehow did do this, is in the future, all the nations and such are anti-adventurer and they had cleansed the land of them due to corrupt politics and adventurers becoming to renown. You'd have every element against you and it'd be that high level dream of dreams zones.
EDIT: My girlfriend added a very good point.
"If they make a future expansion then they could finally utilize that hole in the wall in Gustberg."

As adventurers, we should venture off to more distant lands in the current era. We just keep saying alternate dimension ideas because we have that for 2 things, WotG and Abyssea. If I am an adventurer, Id be more intrigued to seeing what lies beyond other borders we have not explored. Maybe I'll find the Lost City of El'Taru Taru.

^ /agree. I'd love to see the current world explored further.
*joke*
Though I'm biast, if we're going to a new land I'd rather see the Mithran homeland over anything dealing with Tarus. I'm kinda curious how many more rips into alternate dimensions Vanadiel can support before it implodes.

give me the rest of world first!! then give me the future(but not really)
far east - can we beat up tenzen again? i didnt like him. phoenix avatar!! beat on yagudo and the empty. new jobs from seems unlikely, nin and sam come from here, what else could there be?? chocobo knight.....
northern beastman homelands - deadly orcs and gigas could bring in new challenges. possible new jobs like machinist/engineer. lost elvaan kingdom?? with dragoons galore?
the south - mithra homeland!! southern empire, lots of story here. possible new jobs like chemist, geomancer/elementalist, green mage....
far west - land of mystery for good reason?? better technology or arcane magic to make it hidden/isolated. new jobs like GUNBLADER, necromancer (sigh), gladiator
theres alot of content left in the present. many possibilities for fresh and exciting story-lines, jobs, monsters, game content. those new continents could even be used to "upgrade" current jobs. each of these continents could provide finer tuned job users.

Retaking Tavnazia expansion!!!
Regarding Tavnazia, this could be some type of continuation of the San D'Oria mission arc revolving around Lightbringer. Perhaps an expansion pack that extends all current storylines. RotZ and CoP tie to each other at the end, and Tenzen/Phoenix go back to the east. Could continue from there and merge the RotZ/CoP/ToAU stories here and add more nation missions back on the mainland.

Let me expand on that a bit first. Tie all of the nation mission arcs plus WotG into a story revolving around Tavnazia. All of the nation arcs revolve around the war and it's aftermath as it is.

Could have been there for something, but then scrapped the idea after making the holes. Could still be finding ideas for these holes, but who knows. SE likes us guessing and telling us, "It's a secret. Not gonna tell you."
The idea I has was more along the lines of maybe 100 years later or so. Just enough to have places like Machine factory dungeons quite similar to FFVI ,but not so far into the future that they have space ships and stuff.
Another idea I had with that is some of the main nations in the future like Bastok etc... could be in ruins and maybe controlled by beastmen or something.You could visit them and kill the monsters etc.. ,but then again that would be like Dynamis or Campaign in towns minus the ruins.
One of the areas I mentioned was actually originally my town idea for the North lands out in or just pass Uleguerand Range. (Snow covered town idea).
Another couple things the server needs are some ice and crystal caves.
Also some gem dragons and other monsters. this would be cool. Seeing Some Ruby Dragons or Diaomond trolls or something. Maybe they could inhabit the Ice and crystal caves. Now by these I dont mean monsters with just names like that like Ruby Quadav and such. I mean make them actually look like gems. Like you see a ruby quaduv and it actually looks like it is made of ruby.

You guys are A holes you got what he meant so who cares about his grammar and writing skills?
If being an ahole is expecting someone to make their post readable...then i guess an ahole i am.
Now on the other hand I know there are a few minor ice caves within the north but nothing as much as what my previous post meant. Total ice and crystal caverns. like bluish ice covered walls and floors mixed with a little snow alot like the one in FFIX but alot bigger. Same for the crystal caverns but then you would also see giant crystals about. Firgured I better clarify that before someone else decides to be a jerk.
Auredant do you know how to read ? If so then knock off your damn complaining and read the English on it otherwise stfu. Honesty if you can not read that then you seriously have some major reading disabilities and need to go back to school because the words on there ARE ENGLISH ! This goes to all the people who have been making fun of my posts unfortunately I've ran out of niceness and now it is over. So live with it or shut up. Or find something to do with your life instead of complaining to every post made by everyone. You would rather knock someone down over typing when what you are doing is FAR worst.

since most expansion packs seem to be making good use of old zones nobody used, or is using at the moment, for anything but the 'here and there' section, a new mini-expansion using the areas lufaise, ifrits cauldron, and den of rancor would be nice.
or rather, making them usable in themselves for people who have already finished ZM's. I havent been to Ifrits cauldron since i levelled bst... i havent had any reason to go there, other than helping some folk with a staff ws

I can read just fine. And compose sentences which I'm happy to see you've finally learned to do. English also has things called periods and paragraphs. And I never correct people on minor grammatical errors, hell i make them as well. But a run-on sentence that goes on and on and on causes the reader to lose interest and, frankly, is painful on the eyes. Just a little advice, if you want your ideas to be taken more seriously then write them so it doesn't seem like a 7 year old did. But judging by your reaction when you receive the slightest criticism, you can't be far from 7 years old.
It was not cool to come in here to a place that is meant to be a fun experience,then share my idea with SE and the FFXI forum/community only to instantly have my thread / typing mocked right away without so much as a word of wow that is a cool idea or anything. Instead it was just this guy cant type a paragraph but wow I myself cant type one sentence,and wow the grammar.

The fact that multiple people commented on it should tell you something. That being said I love some of the ideas introduced in the thread. I don't particularly care for the futuristic ones because i prefer the fantasy setting but your ideas aren't invalid. They show a creative mind. Learn to not be so thin skinned and take constructive criticism. You'll be better for it.
I already knew how to do those ahole.Like I said in a previous post I did that on purpose. Honestly how do you read books then ? How can you read a huge story that goes on and on for 200-600 ish pages ? That first post was actually quite short compared to a lot of other posts I've seen. I am not 7. Seven year olds cant type much. It was alot more then slight criticism when it still keeps continuing on here. I let it go until it kept going and going until I have finally had enough. You would have done the same if you was in the same shoes.
Guys stop... This is a FF forum.. not a place to bash people.. sure, it was a little hard to read, but its no reason to make fun of him. He got his point across perfectly like anyone else, and I thought his idea sounded pretty good. Looks to me like he put a lot of thought in it.

While he is being a bit inflammatory, I think you're missing the point. Paragraphs, spacing between thoughts, non-run-on sentences are all parts of 200-600 page books as are they parts of conveying ideas on a thread. Regardless of how he is presenting his dislike for the state of your original post, he is right that you need to space things out and use more punctuation. It will make more people actually read what you have to say, this truth is absolute.
If he wanted anyones opinion on his grammer, he wouldnt be at the FFXI Official Forums now would he? please stop
I know other people came in here to say some cool stuff the other post was meant for the ones who replied first who instantly criticized without so much as a compliment on anything. Then it continued throughout the thread up to this point now and Now ive had enough of it. Time to stand up for myself whether you like it or not.

You would have done the same if you was in the same shoes.
When ya call people aholes for the slightest criticism, it kind of proves ur immaturity. And wth is the point of a long run on sentence that goes on forever, if u did it on purpose. To turn ppl off? Ifu did it on purpose, as u say, then u deserve all the criticism u got. And, like a previous poster mentioned, if ur intention was to attract a mods attention to ur ideas u didn't do yourself any favors with ur structure. Rage all u want...i've wasted enuff time on u.
I would also like to thank all of the people who tried to help me on this issue in here. Much obliged.
Idk how old you think he his, but i couldnt see anyone too immature using obliged

Honestly, if you check his posts and check mine...who is the one being inflammatory? I mention that he might better get his point across by improving his grammar and he responds by calling me an ahole and saying that I cant read. And I'm the bad guy. LOL...mother him all u want Kit...ur not doing him any favors.

A wonderful attempt at a "topic hammer" Kits, but realy they're just going to drag you down with them.

I would call, questioning some one's age and then wondering if they were seven years of age, to be inflammatory. Though, I don't care enough to scroll back through the pages and re-read things to see who actually started it. Inflammatory is inflammatory.
Im not mothering anyone. I come on the forum and the second post was someone making fun of him. Followed by others. Maybe you jumped in after others pissed him off. Maybe he made a se account just to state his ideas? And he just gets shut down... did you see how many posts he had? I feel bad for the guy, gets all that criticism, all he wanted was some feedback on his ideas

It started as advice...but i questioned his age because he immediately got defensive and preceded to insult and curse me, which is something an adult or mature person should not do. Even then I could have responded the same way but instead chose the high road and even gave him a compliment.Not that it mattered because he just preceded to insult me again. And then, incredulously, two posters jump to his defense. Whatever. All that does is enable people to believe it's alright to curse out others in forum. No skin off my nose though.
Im not sure who started what are who's the aggressor.
Though, I don't care enough to scroll back through the pages and re-read things to see who actually started it.
In my opinion, we shouldn't criticize his grammar, thats just rude. Criticize his ideas all you want, that's really what the forums for in a sense, right?
It doesn't even matter anymore, appears he logged off.
Unless he's typing a REEEAAAAALLLLLLYYY long message, lol

Is this an evasive way of deflecting the "you were inflammatory" bullet? Doesn't matter I suppose. The part that bothers me is that you said two people came to his defense. Being as there's only been 4 total posters since then (you, me, kits, and ryat) I assume that second person to be me. Did you miss the part where I also tried to tell him that he could've used paragraphs and non run-on sentences? I guess you can think what you want but I am in no way bias about who I defend or support. It just happened in this case that you were both wrong. (If we want to talk adult behavior: adults don't try to guess some one else's age based on a post on the internet, especially while trying to be constructive).

Ok, Ok, so..... Back to the thread? Let the hurt feelings heal please?
I have been enjoying this thread for the most part. A lot of good ideas and thoughts have been coming out. I would hate to see this thread shut down because tempers got too hot.
I love the ideas on exploring those areas of the map we can't get to currently. There is still a LOT of the current world that can be explored/expanded...
I just wish there were more ideas of more of an individual job, not as much as a combination of two. I cant really think of any though

I'm srry...guess I don't play nice while getting cursed out. Silly me
You know where all of this anger and stress is coming from? I bet it's all this tension from the servers being down, i feel it too

Me neither. I have seen all the various threads, many of which are kinda redonculous, and I agree, they all pretty much seem like combinations of existing jobs.
Maybe the wizards of SE can come up with something.... /shrug

On topic, what I'd like to see is some ideas that aren't new but actually fully fleshed out. Like the far east, for example. Tenzens homeland and other locales. Smn can gain access to Phoenix as an avatar and phoenix blade can be a GK drop for sam in that fight...but more importantly have the story fully fleshed out. Also opening up the northland Gigas home, Mithra homeland, some ancient zilartian ruins...possibilities are endless and can easily be absorbed into the story/mythos.

Yupper!!
Anger/short temper is a classic symptom of withdrawals from an addiction.. hehe...
My Assistant told me straight out how glad she will be when I can play again. She says I have been a real bastard recently...>.>
What if they introduced a new kind of magic?
That may be out of Final Fantasy terms though

OK, so fleshing out the Tenzen story line.
They DID open the potential for a whole new zone the way they introduced him. His land is being consumed by the emptiness, and some of the new weapons have +dmg vs empty.....
Pheonix as an avatar is completely viable, and a worthwhile quest to say the least. That could be the reward for completion of the quest/mission line..
They gave enough to start at least an add-on if not a complete expansion. Maybe they already have it under development?

Eh, didn't Phoenix technically die in Chains of Promathia? I know Tenzen did something against Bahamut or some one toward the end and either injured or destroyed Phoenix. Can't remember the specifics.
Edit: I have always wanted Phoenix as an avatar, and would like a story branch where he isn't dead and you can gain him as a summonable great katana or something for Summoner.
I feel like all of ideas for add-ons are mostly for mages, or jobs that are MP based. As much as SE would love to satisfy our wishes, dont you think it would imbalance the jobs? for example,
If they give blm/whm/rdm/sch/smn all new spells, job trait, and abilities, Then what would, lets say, a THF get? A few extra job traits? few abilities?.. I feel theres DEFINATELY enough room to add on mages, but not enough for thf, war, melee based jobs.
So in essence, melee jobs are kind of holding mage jobs back. Seems to me theres a greater increase of demand for mages than melees.

And so, upon completion of the story line, "Pheonix rises from the ashes", as your Avatar. Nothing wrong there.. hehe

Well, I have seen a lot of postings about how this DD job, or that one, is over powered. (I have no opinion there) Maybe this is to "balance" things?
p.s. Pretty much all of my 90s so far are DDs...
SquareEnix should make an Exapnsion called: "Vana'diel's Demise, The Goddess' Rise". The story is about a Mithra named Raka who joins forces with that devilishly clever Tarutaru, whome you all know, and love....Shantotto. They succeed in destroying the world of Vana'diel and create...(Brace yourself for the not so unsuspected, unsuspecting...) "The Raka and Co. Empire"!
Adventurers become their slaves etc. and the game is finally beaten, the end. :-3
The post that I said that was toward the post before you said compliments I was temporarily afk while I was typing it and came back to finish it,then I pressed the reply link then seen that you said that. So it was a slightly late post now I am sorry for swearing but I did it with a reason. Bashing me about grammar no matter the reason until I finally cant take it anymore and the continuation of it is why I got so upset with it. Now from now on I hope I get better treatment. Since I did only have these Ideas and they were carefully thought out for a very long time. Including a huge spell list I created for Time Mage. Some of them were not added to my post. The list was quite long. Although I have removed some from it since.
It took me awhile this time because my pc decided to reboot from windows updates.
I like the ideas people are coming up with in here so far. Thanks for the cool responses.
I think they need to make steal more available for thief,as well as more types of steals.
Maybe a steal that also attacks at the same time.
I think using steal once every five minutes is kind of low since that is what a thief really is. Someone who steals stuff.
It should be once per minute. I mean whm can cast cures far more then that and cure is whm main responsibility.
They should lower the level requirement for thf's dual-wield to 10 like nin.
Give them more types of attacks like trick attack and sneak attack. Backstab and a ja that raises attack speed and accuracy and dexterity for a limited time.
A Steal that could steal Rare/Ex items off any monster as long as they carry one but probably a low percentage rate.
Treasure Hunter IV would be good at 99.
Oh and another thing that would help give thief more subjob options would be giving them a job ability that increases evasion a lot,and also another job ability that they can use ever say 30-60 seconds that grants some type of shadows effect. Maybe they both can be in one job ability. Otherwise I do not see much point in Thief having dual-wield since they need shadows to pull. well and good evasion is good too.
you should work for the staff of SE as a suggester, you have a lot of good ideas
Oh another thing they should fix or maybe add with an expansion is less loading time when zoning.
I would also like to see them eliminate zoning, or at least make a transition picture screen of the area your zoning to, instead of it going to a black screen.
aww ty I have a lot more ideas too :)
