Why Cant Final fantasy 11 get the same treatment?

[Alhanelem]

They can't because of the practicality of it. It makes little sense to revamp an 8+ year old game that pretty much has had nearly all the subscribers it will ever have when they can improve a game that's still young and re-market it and potentially gain new subscribers.

It also can't be fairly done without dropping console support.

I said it before in another thread, but not putting anything into improving FFXIV will not automatically suddenly mean that a revamp for FFXI would happen. The funds and manpower would most likely be invested in a new or other project, such as one of the other MMOs they're also developing.

I understand but there revamping a game engine for ff14 doesn't that cost tons of money as well?

The potential ROI for 14 is higher than it is for 11 because of 11's age.

Ok thank you. Just sad the game can't grow into something more better.

Keyword meaning not guaranteed. Most of the money being used to do all this revamping is coming for previous Final Fantasy games including Final Fantasy XI.

EVE Online says differently.

EVE Online says differently.

Yeah. I just installed Office 2010 and I have to say, for such an old program, Microsoft Excel sure is spiffy. I'm sure there are other MMOs out there that receive similar revamps successfully.

Because word processing software and games are the same thing and marketed the same way.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

It's a joke.

EVE online = Excel in space.

That was actually a bit clever. I've never played EVE so i didn't know
