I just can not believe they would just let all these FFXI players go with nothing for them to do... One by one they will slowly leave FFXI and it will slowly die..

I just can not believe Se would not have something for the dedicated FFXI players. It is a substantial base to loose. Some app game will not cut it.. It might give a little to do but it is not a mmo..

There will always be those that stay as long as the servers stay up because they know nothing else and it has been their lives for ever. It has been a very big part of my life and I wish they would do something to bring the game back.

I also would rather they end the game for everyone with a bang, fireworks, parades and a count down till the servers go dark. It is better than a slow death.
They won't do a visual remaster/rerelease because it would probably not bring them enough money to be worth the cost. I'm fairly sure they commented on something like this at the original announcement of future plans for the game (where console support ending was announced).

The current dedicated FFXI players is not a large enough playerbase to justify something like this.
