Why Cant Final fantasy 11 get the same treatment?

[Zagen]

Why should they bother with new zones when there's dozens of old zones sitting empty? The game is very top heavy with end game players. Why shouldn't zones be modified to reflect this state of the game? I don't buy the "thrill of exploration" reason I hear when this subject comes because from my experience, most people in pick up groups can barely navigate heavy traffic zones, let alone out of the way zones. Fix old zones to make them worth going to aside from one or two missions, then worry about all new zones.

Why should anyone bother with higher level monsters in old zones when Abyssea provides skill ups (even past 90), EXP, Cruor (gil, demi god tool if wanted), and random NPCable items?

Lazyness/Cheapness/Corner-Cutting seem to be the issue here if it isnt PS2 limitations. There is No reason that FF11 should get neglected the way it is and FF14 pretty much gets told "do what you have to, to make this game work".

I have to agree with this, also it only further pushes my belief that SE is stringing FFXI along until FFXIV is ready and then will kill off FFXI in hopes everyone shifts over to FFXIV.

PS2 limitations and in turn coding created for the PS2 are the only major factors that make FFXI a bad investment, so if those aren't actual factors...

If they are too dumb to check mobs they are around, they deserve to die.

yea because you want to run around the game /checking every single monster that you are going to run past. Get real.

I understand your feelings about the differences between FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV. Please understand that these games are very different entities and just as it was stated before, the operational policies as well as the size of the development team are very different as well.

Just to clarify one misconception I have been noticing for a while now...

"PS2 limitations" is not a factor for adding new areas to the game and we will in fact be adding new areas in the future, so please do not worry about this.

WOW dude... That is some news... But what new areas are we talking about? New new areas or just reskin areas?

Well damn, if that's your line of thinking, why complain about new zones at all when Abyssea supplies everything you want already? I'd rather the dev team focus on creating good battle content and end game events than new zones that look pretty and will be used for a mission or two, then be chronically underused the rest of the time; you know, like how WOTG and TOAU areas are today.

Modifying old zones doesn't just mean exp and gil farming.

And other players would prefer new zones and/or stories/quests/missions to go with those new zones. Different people want different things.

You know what would be awesome a new zone or a couple of zones that contains new quests/missions involving it, as well as new NMs. Think the next sky or sea. This would make explorers happy and people like you looking for "good battle content and end game events" happy. Too bad this isn't what SE sees as a priority.

Modifying old zones doesn't just mean exp and gil farming.

What other reason is there to kill higher level mobs? When they're just higher level versions of old mobs there is nothing new about them to explore. Keep in mind I'm talking about higher level trash mobs they've added to old zones which don't actually apply as "good battle content" at least I don't find fighting a higher level version of a given mob with 0 new abilities as good battle content.
