What's With the No Future Expansion or Addons?

what i think is gonna happen is a graphics and battle system overhaul they problably shut down half the servers to overhaul the game and reskin it with new graphics thos that play on ps2 and xbox will problably be left behind or offered some other type of game content and they will let pc and ps3/xbox users move up to the next evolution in graphic and game play there is nothing really wrong with the story line or the endless possiblities for expantions and game content. what i think they will do is send all playstation 2 players to there own server free of charge and anyone that plays on a system that can support newer graphics and software will goto the servers that have been shut down after they get an overhaul in and that will be the future final fantasy xi my new I7 quadcore is waiting on it and i hope that is what SE is up to

I really wish we could get even a hint at a new expansion or abyssea scale addon in the future, if it's coming out next year they will be working on it now. So if there are any plans at all it would be nice to have even a small hint of it, gives something awesome to look forward to.

I understand Square like to keep things secret but giving a heads up it's coming won't ruin that and it will let everyone knnow there is a good strong future ahead still.

How about a combination of lack of resources (after they had to pile yet more devs into trying to keep the Titanic afloat) and lack of cash (caused by SE haemorrhaging cash due to the Titanic).

I see alot of complaints about the ps2 not being able to manage the content of new stuff and thats why SE doesnt provide it for the rest of the community. I am old enough to remember the days for the eternal disk swopings for new areas, surely this is the solution for the ps2 community. Some games came with up 5 disks. Just get them to swop in the areas they need to zone into to do stuff, sure the downloads into zones will take longer but it wont exclude them from the new updates that everyone else can do without having to wait.

I would be fine if they focus on fixing a lot of things that already in the game but have been neglected and not even touched. Campaign, Walk of Echoes, Nyzul, Einherjar, Limbus, etc... just to name a few. Adding +2 items to those events would revitalize it greatly. The same can be said to magian trial weapons items. There are so many things they could do with existing content and make it more convenient and enjoyable.

I'm with the rest of the people here. I would gladly buy another expansion pack for FFXI, boxed or digital expansion. I would love to explore the easternlands just as others have mentioned. When I was playing more consistently, I bought expansions for PC, XBOX360 and PS2.. SE, don't you want any more money?

Don't know where you live, but here in the West, that's virtually impossible.

Just get it for free then. Put an ad in craigslist for free pc wanted.
Specs desired:
Pentium 4 or athlon 64 cpu any speed
ati radeon 9800 pro or better video card
512mb ddr ram
40gb hdd

there you go!

there's still quite a bit of the ffxi world that we haven't explored/experienced yet. As long as they can continue to make money off it (and lol if ff14 flops AGAIN) i'm sure we'll see more content.

If not then oh well it was one hell of a ride since early 04 for me

Are you kidding me? You can get a $100 PC at any junk/recycle center that will run the game 10 times getter then any concole. Hell you can even buy one of those assinine infomercial PCs for less then $200.
