Square Enix recruiting battle planners (developers) for FFXI

Pretty sure that they will want someone fluent in Japanese.

I await your attempt to derail the next 100 or so posts.

I don't intentionally derail threads, tyvm.

If it said so in the ad, then the OP could have made that more clear.

It said so in the title and you could have read the ad, but the multitude of posts you respond to without reading sort of compromises that whole premise.

I did read the title of the post. I treated it as the OP's assumption, not a fact. It would have been easier to visit the ad if the URL was an actual clickable URL.

Anyway, as others have said, it would most likely be replacing someone who left the company for whatever reason, and not additional staff.

Too bad you almost certainly have to be/speak Japanese

SE announced at E3 that they had another MMO in development and a 4th along with it. Also that they had always panned at running several MMOs at once.
So the odds on FFXI are slim.

Maybe it is the spirit fixer they are hiring. He certainly does not exist yet.

Lol, they should first try to master running 2 at once before introducing a 3rd or 4th.

They realised MMO subs are really good money, they forgot the MMO has to be good and it takes a lot of effort to keep those MMO players happy and continuing to pay subs though (no way in hell they can run more than 2). FFXI is kinda an anomaly to most MMOs in that for almost all of us this was our first MMO and that is why we are so loyal to it.

Still find it amazing they would take a successfull very profitable MMO and strip it's staff and budget to try and fix another broken game with very little intrest in it. Makes no business sense at all.
