There's a large potential market if they happen to make XI-2, but if they do it, they have to actually advertise it this time to other nationalities other than Japanese. I guarantee FFXI would be more active would they have done that to it.

Uh the graphics for XI are actually very good. You don't need good graphics to make a good game, you sound like meat head.

Poor Draylol... In case you missed it, this guy is a fan of the game and a current player that is asking SE to address the issues that he feels caused the recent massive population decline.

If FFXI was your first then that is why. The reason why there isn't anything out there like FFXI is cause of everything that is outdated. When I start any new MMO to try after playing FFXI for long periods without playing other mmos I get so freaking lost and confused by the UI and think of how simple FFXI is and wish for that. After a do get used to it and return to FFXI I see all the flaws of the limited UI FFXI has. If you are referring to the long grinds for a single level or the crappy party system that will never come around again. The fan base for MMOs have changed to much for that model to ever come back.

The graphics have almost nothing to do with people leaving.

Honestly, even though the tech is dated, I think the game's looks still hold up well today (though a texture resolution buff would be nice).

Sorry man I gotta disagree with this here. Graphics in FFXI are incredibly dated. SE never put any effort into updating the engine past it's PS2 roots, it's still limited to the 29.9FPS of NTSC and all the animations, menus and suck are hard synched with that FPS. The engine is DX8 being emulated through DX9 and doing a ton of rendering work in software due to it's legacy engine. SE refuse's to allow different experiences between PS2 and everyone else so we're stuck with "PS2 limitations" for lots of interface and battle mechanics.

Honestly the only thing FFXI has going for it is the Job system, which BTW is the absolute best of any game I've played. The ability to tinker and fine tune your various builds and the different feelings of the job's is why I still play this game vs something like DDO.

Heck if they updated the DX Wrapper that FFXI runs on to DX 10-11 you could actually support stuff like shiny water, and modern graphics cards. It's all cost vs. reward though. With the dwindling player base, they probably don't see it as cost effective.

I can't blame draylo for being rather passionate for this game, and I must agree graphics do not really matter to me in a game either. However, I do think that this game deserves a second version to be released on newer consoles/handhelds/pc. Might sound like a lot of work, but this game deserves it. A change like this could really do something for the community population and hopefully bringing older players back.

FFXI a realm reborn.

You want them to make FFXI 2 when they don't like what FFXI is and keep making it easy mode, if they did make FFXI - 2 they would just ruin it as they are ruining this and ruined XIV.

Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.

XIV ruined is your opinion. when you consider 1.0 was a massive failure and XIV:ARR is a massive hit and they are activally looking at content to improve it. I happen to think the XIV community disagrees with your opinion. you might not think so but ARR is what the community asked for over a period of time through the forums, through feedback and surveys.

you might also want to remember that both the director of this and the director of XIV stated they wanted to keep both of these games different. and they are trying.

I would love to see them atleast update this game to full DX9c, that shiny water you mentioned is easily possible in DX9c. You would be surprised at the increase in graphics and performance you would get with just that leap. DX10 would not be a very good idea since we can already discern there are still players using windows XP and we want to keep as many players that want to play as possible

you should note the most advanced leap in the directx libraries was from DX9 to DX9c not DX10 or DX11. not saying DX10 and 11 aren't more advanced but you can do most of the stuff in DX9 that DX10 and 11 have to offer.

have a look. DX10 does look better on this but not enough to make a fuss over
http://gizmodo.com/243099/directx-9-...g-to-vista-for

and DX10 vs DX11 even less of a difference
http://gizmodo.com/5368037/directx-1...the-difference

I still think a upgrade to full DX9c is the best way to go if they do upgrade, it would fix a lot of graphical glitches and give us that "shiny water" not to mention a better less pixelated looking sky

tbh Abyssea was the Dalamud of ffxi when it comes to gameplay. Sure arr is tons more simple than ffxiv v1 but I mean come on ffxi has become a cake walk since those maws appeared, and now with Trust being implemented its going to cut down more and more on the need to actually play with or talk to other ppl. And "solo-friendly" means nothing but nerfing content. So say what you will, the ffxi we know and love is already gone, so may as well reboot it.

A graphical upgrade I think would be wonderful. Often times I am roaming the wilds or Eorzea and think to myself how wonderful it would be if ffxi had similar graphics and can even see reflections of some of the xi zones in arr. Granted it is doubtful they will ever revamp xi with the tiny playerbase it has since it just wouldn't make sense economically, and the graphics would likely be just an import of arr anyway since the designs are all done. But a girl can dream.
