Level 91-99 Content (OUTSIDE ABYSSEA).

This is why FFXI will die. Dont get me wrong, Id love to see a real expansion so the adventure can continue, but our retard brother PS2 keeps us handicapped.
I think it would be a great idea to not only get a box expansion but be able to use our newly earned atma in these new areas.

You have to understand something, though. The PS2 HDD can hold up to 40GB (if you bought the official one). HDD support is very very small, even smaller for the US players. Most, if not all games with HDD support are no longer being played. Resident Evil Outbreak, for example, closed it's online servers YEARS ago in the USA and it's barely alive in japan.

FFXI, right now, only uses 1/4th of the HDD. When FFXI fills up all 40GB, that's when it truly must end.

Or they just can stop giving support to PS2 players (im one of them) n make us change plataform, to pc, xbox, or ps3, n keep going with better issues

If they're going to ditch PS2, get rid of XLax CrashBox support while you're at it.

It's almost comedic to hear all the XLax users crash during Besieged.

1st I understand. Understand the that HDD for PS2 came out 8 years ago and they stopped making them 4-5 years ago and they are as rare now as a HD-DVD player and as useless. Wenceslao is right... Just phase ps2 support and users out. And a good way to start is to make a box expansion that does not support PS2. That way we can have better graphics and framerates for EVERYONES enjoyment. 'cept PS2.

People continually forget that the majority of JP players use PS2s.

PS2 support is *NOT* going away as long as this is true.

Yep, an actually it would be an epic win for SE

now that jobs and subjobs can be combinated to better addapt to the play style and situation; some ballista based content to level up to 99 with limit break for subjobs... of course new zones, storyline, new jobs inside a new shiny boxed expansion

Sad thing about this map is I 1st seen it years ago. Its like we're the Bermuda triangle of Vana'dial.

Well there are a few continents left to explore, the rest of the Eastern Continent of Aradjiah, were Tenzen and the Yagudo if from, the Southern continent of Olzhirya, where the Mithra were from, along with Rhazowa the Northern continent filled with Gigas's and probably Orc, and finally the western continent I belive is called Ulbuka, which Tavnazia had dealings with, all of which were in the previously posted map link. I would love to be able to explore these areas, also has anyone seen the 8th Protocrystal; the Protocrystal of Light? Everyone's familiar with the usual 6 to get the Celestial Avatars, and those familiar with CoP know about the Dark Protocrystal. I may not have progessed in the remaining storylines I have left to do in orger to be privy to the info.
I personally am not all that interested in the what if storylines they've pumped out with WoTG and Abyssea, the Time Travel and Dimension hopping should have been saved for after the other continents were explored. Plus the zones are getting a little full with entrances to other realms really. I would really like to see content that rewards usage of the older content as well as lightly promoting its own rewards like they touched on with abyssea, but still maintain some semblance of balance. As well I would like to see more emphasize on other aspects of jobs, for example WHM can use club, but there is next to nothing to encourage it, or the WAR ability to use so many weapons, but still the game content forces them towards what they think should be the norm of using an Axe or Great Axe, and as many have probably said before me, the RDM melee capability being heavily ignored by both Party oriented and the game content itself. Where's our customization that SE mentioned really?
Several ways that they can address it as well, such as their new favorites, Synergy and Magian Trials to make gear semi-customizable, or even allow the regular crafts to do such but have Key Item requirements as per normal. Maybe allow mages to make charged and rechargable gear, but to make it, they require the spell and a special item to channel the spell. I know that last idea came right out of D&D, but if it worked, why toss it.
