FF11's growth limited due to FF14?

[Tezz]

Reading both forums SE reply's on the FF11 side tend to shoot down most comments for one reason or another, while the FF14 responses are pretty much "We'll do this but it will take time".

Will FF11 ever get new expansions or new areas in the game? Since WoTG they've been doing nothing but copy & paste zones (far too often).

Bottom line, i don't care what the limitations are (its not my place to worry about), i just don't want to see FF11 turn into what FF14 is (a game with hardly any content), and currently with the level increase FF11 doesn't have much content anymore (it's mostly obsolete).


Go listen to the latest Pet Food Alpha:

You might not agree with everything they say, but they do make very good points.


Community team, if you care about the longevity of this game or even the players in general, please push SE in anyway you can to do something about this terrible issue that seems to be shunned for the unforeseeable future.
The roadmap is showing nothing promising & we have vague answers for the next year.



Please -Like- if you support the cause.

Been posts about this many times, they ignore it.

FFXI is a cashcow and very little else, minimum outlay for max profits.

Everyone like my OP please, Even if it seems futile. Maybe we can get more out of them.

Do people not understand how things work inside a developer's studio?

XI and XIV have their own separate offices, teams, resources etc - they are entirely independent of each other than that they are both Final Fantasy games owned and operated by Square-Enix.

So QQ all you want, but Yoshi P isn't reading anything on here nor is our glorious new dev team reading anything on the XIV forums. I'm sure they interact with each other on some level during their breaks or off-hours etc, but during working hours they are separated with good reason.

tl;dr - stop blaming XIV for XI's problems because they are not related to each other.

It's known that FF11 & FF14 have separate teams.
(Idk if you're a troll or not around here, and don't care)

Bayohne, and others, monitor both FF11 & FF14 forums, so i don't see your point. Both games require funding in some way or another from SE, so they affect each other somewhat (and it's not my job to know why/how so idc).

If we push SE enough they'll likely listen. If the community does not agree, or is too childish to even WANT to try to push for it, then we can all sit around these forums and argue random crap about useless facts that might or might not further anything worthwhile.

In closing, i'll let you guys arguing with yourselves about if you care enough to want new content & zones.
Either this topic gets pushed to the bottom, in which case no one cares or wants to even try to care or it stays alive and forum reps might reply with a vague comment about why FF11's "core programming" won't allow expansion of the game because of their laziness/lack of funds to deal with it.
It might seem futile soliciting any kind of respectable response out of SE on the matter, but it's better than arguing over why relics & empys are/aren't powerful enough & then going back to doing nothing since there's no realistic incentives(for many players) to actually want to play FF11 once you reach that point in your FF11 playtime.

Take Care.

If I recall, part or most of XI's development team or what have you was moved to XIV, apparently. I'm disappointed that XI is getting less attention now, but I can't blame them since it is a pretty old game.

That being said, though, MMOs are games that evolve over time, and I hope XI continues to do so even in light of XIV's growing improvements.

I knew there was some kind of cross-over, but didn't have a source. ^^;

I find it odd that SE continues to advertise XI knowing that it isn't getting as much effort on it as XIV is. You'd think they'd advertise XIV amid their enhances to the game as of late, but it still confounds me. OH well, I hope more people play regardless of the fact that XIV has a bigger budget. =)

Why wouldn't you advertise a game that's making a profit?

[Luso]

I worded that incorrectly; I meant why isn't XIV getting as much, if any, advertising as XI is?
