New Expansion in the works? Please tell us!

[Zerich]

Are they going to reveal that Mithra's were always male?

[Scuro]

I'm laughing at this thread so much...

Ok so let me get this straight, so instead of having an expansion pack that would actually prolong the game and not only that but maybe just maybe renew the faith in SE for FFXI and return player base back, you think increasing the hate cap so that lolPLD can tank (P.S I'm a PLD and a NIN and I honestly could careless about hate cap because I honestly care more about the game rather than a single job's mechanic...)?.... Ya I'm glad we're not selfish and thinking of only our job when the game is dying. I could careless what needs "fixing" in the minds of others, what this game needs is new content to renew the stagnant crap they've been pushing out over our chests for the past year after Abyssea. I mean who honestly thought Abyssea was going to come out after those three worthless add-ons? I can tell you as a player that has stuck with this for a decade now, I was about to quit right after the vanafest.

People are not saying "There will be an expansion!" we are simply saying "There better be or you can expect a loss of player base real quick!" I know of many including myself that are willing to buy our time until June and see what they launch and I can tell you right now, if its anything short of an expansion, I'm out and never turning back. I've been through the ups and downs, and for SE to blatantly disregard the desires of its audience, well than they would have truly let me down as a loyal player for 10 years. All this garbage about "well they need to fix my job cuz my job sucks *wah wah wah*" go QQ that garbage else where if they are going to fix jobs and mechanics, they can damn well do it after they put out an expansion cuz as far as I'm concerned the game is just fine, the problem is there is NOTHING to do in it besides make a shit ton of fancy weapons that you can use on nothing... Yay! I'm glad I get to level up to 99 and make an Almace so I can do VW's forever until the game dies.... /slowclap

So take it this way, we're not asking for an expansion or hoping you will make one SE, we're demanding it...

P.S
For the chick running around and saying SE has been good to us because they gave us Abyssea, what hole have you lived in? Abyssea was great for returning players, but than the people found out how damaging and stagnant it would make for the game later down the road and left. I can tell you right now the hundreds of loyal players that have stuck it out through thick and thin didn't all give up within a year because they got tired of the game.... To say otherwise is ignorance. And woopdie doo get to make an almace! Ya because trying to make a tizona when ToAU came out should of been more than enough to keep my subscription fee for 5 years.... Hell no! After a while I was dying for WotG to come out and when it did, I was completely content. WE NEED STORY AND EXPLORATION TO BE RETURNED TO THIS GAME!... Christ give us something to fill the wikis with SE....

FFXI is pretty much dead. A new expansion will do nothing for this game in a post abyssea world. As I said before, what realistically can they do that will "prolong the game" and "bring players back" if Legion and final Voidwatch chapters didn't bring them back in droves....?

If you can answer that I'll definitely agree an expansion pack will renew faith in SE/FFXI and bring back all 700,000+ people to play again.

Wait... let me get this straight... you honestly thought Voidwatch was going to bring players back!?.... Seriously? Whats going to bring players back by the boat load isn't new battle systems with new gear and w/e, thats all cool, but thats not why players play this game at least back in the day. What will bring them back is a new area, new story, and new places to be explored and unseen beasts to be slain. Nobody started this game because they heard Nyzul was super awesome and totally worth getting into FFXI... And if they did they are not the ones that have stuck by this game since release such as myself.

What we need is a new area where level 99 players can get the shit kicked out of em even if they are in a party, and atmas need to go because it simply makes the game boring. People quit this game because nothing new has really came out, yay more void watch, some new models of gear and beasts, and new annoying NM mechanics /slowclap.

People played this game for the story, the competition, and the challenge, which this game has now severely lost due to Abyssea.

I think this depends on how you look at an expansion. If we're talking new continents, new leveling areas, and most importantly, new stories, I don't think it would be a bad thing. There's even potential endgame, though you'd really need to start "tier"-ing endgame instead of making everything side-grades like it was back in the COP to TAU transition. There's also the opportunities for job changes, adjustments and major overhauls if needed.

There is room for other things with an expansion. The only real downer to me is that "balance" may get in the way and then we end up with more of the same.

The man acts like a douche, but I agree with him. New continent or bust.

{Good Altana you still like the essays}

What you just typed was basiclly what everyone has been saying in this thread scrub! =3 calm down relax and wax yer noggin

[Teraniku]

Honestly all I have left, Story wise, is to finish A Shantotto's Ascension.Once that's done (have to level a job with ranged attack, because my 3 mains WHM PLD and SMN, don't really have good ranged attack.) I have to reassess whether i want to keep my subscription up. Waiting on the Vanafest announcements and the 2012-2013 roadmap as to whether SE deserves to keep me as a customer for this game.
