Do You Think We Will Ever Get Another Major Update?

They could certainly have just made it so we can only access Floor 1 of each wing from the entrance, and every floor could have its selection completely removed in favor of the automatic, you run on top of the circle, you go up to the next floor.
Which is exactly how the OG Limbus floor up's worked.
Less menu-ing. Less annoyance.

There's two progress bars at the top left. One has a counter that goes up to 10. The other gives you a temp item if you don't already have one... When adding the one with a counter, why not do the same for the other? That way we would have more freedom in how we do our weekly grind.

a full 18man shouldn't have to do more 7x or w/e the number of kills a party needs to complete a floor. it's ludicrous. Let us actually team up with more friends for the content and it actually make it more fun instead of less fun. We're already giving up on Exemplar Points by teaming up. 3x the number of mobs would be fine since it's 3 parties teamed up. More than that is just punishing us.

That would prevent you from choosing a specific floor. Some people do things out of order or in different orders, or you're trying to track down the NM mob, if you're doing that you're not necessarily completing floors at all. There are reasons for people to do things differently from the way you are, so what may be convenient for you won't be for someone else.

Limbus isn't linear, you can go through it forwards or backwards or do it in any random order you like, or do nothing at all except search for the NMs or the sparkle spot.

Limbus was linear until they replaced it with the new version.
Making it linear again would sap a few minutes from people ONLY targeting NMs and from people who finished their run and now need to run to a chest on another wing since they ended the climb in a different wing. (shouldn't happen if you run with the same group every time or do it solo)
The shiny ???, ya it would take longer if you are going to the zone JUST to hit that... That is the only Limbus I even do currently and I don't think that would be a big deal having to climb a few minutes to get to the proper floor.

well yes, it was, but it isn't anymore. It does not matter whatsoever which floors you do as long as you eventually do them all, and being able to pick any floor is useful if you find out where the sparkly spot is since you can go straight there, and targeting NMs as you mentioned.

But my point is, the way it's set up now has benefits, and the inconveniences are trivial to most people who can handle the "cognitive load." It feels weird to me even mentioning this as someone on the spectrum, as I'm among the category of people most likely to be bothered by this and I'm not. I do not want to automatically go up floors for the reasons stated previously, I don't find the menus difficult and even a half second's hesitation will ensure you don't select a floor you didn't mean to. I also think it's abuseable with the way some approach the content, training lots of mobs to kill at the portal (which is also annoying for others and I'd very much like to discourage that behavior), counting on the automatic transfer to save you if things get out of hand but you manage to kill enough.

and the free trial being increased with the website being modernized helps a bit if you ask me

i just hope like i said https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/t...rease-feedback here that the free trial increase gets adjusted just a little bit to include a bit more then 75 base game

Personally, the most issue felt needed to address is alleviating these "PS2 limitations", mainly related to more server lockdowns & a much better way to address these, felt these more severe even compared to what FF14 dealt with population issues, even that game still had a bit leeway even on very populated servers while locked on FF11 has totally no new way for players to make new accounts there. Could even try copy what FF14 did, with bonus gil/xp if making new accounts on very low populated servers, or maybe reintroduced the old merged servers perhaps.

And the other thing I would really see improved related to that "PS2 limitations" are no more 30 fps limited. We are living on current generations where games has gone way beyond 60 fps. At least native 60 fps limit would already make this game felt very smooth to play.

Lastly, the congested content situations, Domain Invasion's Mireu for one, also related to fps issue, could have a major improvement without it dropped to 1 fps & breaking my speaker, along with the annoyances of unable to target it without needing to walk away about 20+ yalms & returning to make the game sorta refresh its rendering attempts.

I would love an increased framerate limit. Unfortunately, running the game at 60 FPS is really difficult as proven by footage of people unlocking the framerate through various means. I won't discuss how further because of the rules.
Point being, the engine itself has a hard time even reaching 30 FPS sometimes, no matter how strong your computer is. You made a good example with Mireu. 60 FPS in busy scenes would be a miracle even on a top of the line graphics card.
There are so many issues from aging code that we all want the developers to fix. In short, at this point the list of issues is so large. So much so, that I think it'd be more cost effective to just make a new client in a modern programming language, and using a modern graphics rendering API.


Not that I disagree, BobbinT. That's exactly what I hope they will do even if it's a long shot... :)

The game client logic was heavily designed around running at 30fps. While tools can be used to increase it, even running the game at 60fps is not without issues and can unpredictably break some cutscenes and NPC interactions. Thus, officially raising the limit would be a non-trivial task that would require significant back end code revision and that is extremely unlikely to happen.

Yes. More than just cobwebs to clean up, hence the long shot :)
I don't really think it will happen any time soon if at all. But I like to be vocal about it just in case Square Enix takes notice. I hope they don't get tired of me! :rolleyes:

Answering the original question, I think we'll never see another big dlc & SE pretty much said it themselves. They no longer have the expertise available to them to update the game accordingly. The developers have the abilities to make tweaks but that's about it. Won't see another resurgence-sized dlc
