Will the updates that continue after the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel be similar to what we have been receiving from month to month?

Can Summoners please get Bahamut now?

server merger so we don't have to play alone?

Going forward, the team will renew its focus on providing an enjoyable FINAL FANTASY XI experience on the Windows platform.

---

This comes after the statement that the main updates to the game will cease outside of bugs and balance issues. Can you elaborate on what the team will be working on for the Windows version?

Is the intent of the Native App Project on mobile platforms to replace the windows/pc version of XI, or is it meant to be a companion to the game?

is the "native app project" Literally just porting the game to mobile, or is it something entirely new?

Will NEXON be handling game updates for the Windows client, or will SE continue this?

Will the mobile client be tied into the existing servers so that established players may continue as they are?

Does this mean that no new gear or higher iLvl gear will be introduced after the conclusion of these new add-ons?

Can we be sure to add every monster type to Monstrosity before its all said and done PLEASE!!!!

In addition to the "welcome back campaign" that is being considered, are there any plans to reduce monthly fees for old (legacy?) players or for players who are also subscribed to FF14?

Will they finish Monstority as part of this updates going forward??

Also, why don't we get GrandMasters as well??? How does that make sense? There are a lot of people outside of Japan who have played XI.

I just want to say thanks for giving us some finality and also letting us know ahead of time, kind of unprecedented for an MMO

We will work our utmost to bring everyone who has ever enjoyed Vana'diel an event to remember and hope that players both new and old will take this chance to visit our humble land and her people once more.

Thats beautiful...I'm all misty-eyed. I'm so happy that there is new expansion this year, and the game will be kept online and given the love and respect it truly deserves in its elderly years.

So is this Rhapsodies of Vana'diel a full expansion? Or is it like the Abyssea add-ons?

Seems like the masterplan is to close ffxi after the ending of rhapsode (as with no major updates, the game will enter in a stalemale).

So, my question would be if there are plans to make ffxi an offline game after online suport finishes?

Ok so correct me of I'm wrong but it seems like they said next year Xbox and playstation users can't play this game anymore and if so can I get my money back for a game I just bought?

So in November can you give everyone a mythic so we all know what it's like to have one since you are stopping updates and story of the game? That would be an awesome going away gift

Can we get a quest line that focus on Doing stuff with the Beastmen, I all ways wanted to do help a group of goblins on some quest, or see the Anitican Queen

So after 2 years: when ppl are done with all content, the lack of new stuff makes grinding unsustainable and ppl leave in orderly fashion, you will shutdown servers ?

Hope at least you could release a standalone version of the game so we can recall our good days in game. (ノД`)・゜・。

How can we show our support for a localization of Final Fantasy Grandmasters, so that it can be released outside of Japan, and into the US/EU regions?

Can you please finally add the real Tavnazian City as an Area? :)

does Will be more new area for Far Eastern, Far Northern, Far Southern?

I don't want a prom night event with story NPCs in shape of a fake expansion. I want to mess with the orcs and giants in Rhazowa. I want to witness the matriarchal society and dive into the mysterious Olzhiryan jungles. I want to see the destruction Emptyness caused in the far east and help them rise from their ashes.

...Maybe I want a bit too much.

So you want a short question? Here it is: ...Why?

I quasi repeat, I'd like to know the long term plans after the last of the 3 new patches are in place, will there still be actual -content- (New monsters to fight? New areas to visit? Even if at a slower pace? In the Voidwatch/Legion/Unity style of things?) Or will it purely be balance/bugfix patches from there on out forever?

Monk has some great gear but a thf Sam dnc rng easily doubles or even triples the dmg a average monk can do I just think it would be nice if a few job classes like monk weapons skill scale up just enough to do some decent damage even as a relic monk ws isn't that impressive as it takes so long to build one where someone can easily put on a delve weapon and deal nearly equal or more damage seems a bit unfair

With the announcement of FFXI basically coming to an end, can we finally expect a server that starts from the beginning?

It's been a good ride.

For current players who wish to move to the mobile app next year, will we be able to retain our character data, or will we have to start from the beginning?

What service for the PlayStation® 2 and Xbox 360® versions will end on or around March 2016 , mean? so that the ones that still play on a xbox360 wont will be able to play afther that date and will be forced to play only on PC?

This ties in to a previous question about the mobile version being a port of the true FFXI: will players in the mobile and PC versions be able to interact with each other?

It means they will shut the service down for those consoles just like they shut tetra master down for everyone. If you want to continue playing Final Fantasy XI online by that time, you will have to play on PC or their planned mobile service.

Which comes to my question. It's no shock the ps2 support is being dropped seeing as the international countries did not get Seekers of Adoulin for ps2 outside of Japan. Furthermore has been speculated being dropped for years because of speculation it was holding back FFXI to be improved. So the question is this: Why is the XBox360 version being dropped? (I play windows version)

Not sure if this question was ever asked before, but i am wondering if the SE producers are considering a truly FFXI movie (with all 22 jobs appearing as different characters inside the movie, without any job overpowering any)? :)

I know i may be too idealistic or childish to ask for this, but it has always been my wish to see a truly FFXI movie. Esp now, when i feel that the end is coming.... /cry >.<~~

I was thinking if there could be a ultimate delve zone which carried all mega bosses from all the previous delve zones and adding in one ultra mega boss.
Only way to get in is that each member have every delve zone completed, and in this zone H-P Blayds should drop a bit more often then anywhere else just a suggestion. I think it would be really cool.

I kinda feel like huge butt for asking for ffxi on mobile for the last 3 years via forums.... I didn't think it would cost ffxi for Xbox 360 ..... Though I'm a little excited to play ffxi on my iPad and iPad mini (to make up for me trio boxing with 2 xbox 1 PC) but I anticipate more people using third part programs to make up for this change, please reconsider keeping xbox support, or maybe releasing a version on the xbox one marketplace

Will there ever be a finish for the Chocobo Racing Quests. There was a Bronze Trophy and a Mythril Trophy, so it's kinda missing a Gold Trophy.

Also +1 on giving us a standalone offline single player version of FFXI.

Is it possible that FFXI might receive the "A Realm Reborn" treatment? That is, will we ever see the game rebuilt from scratch for the sake of modernizing it?

Will we see any updates for relic and mythic holders boost in weapon damage or boost in afterglow in the future?
