Thread: Final Fantasy XI 2.0

I'm sorry, but the only people who want an FFXI 2.0 are the people still playing it. I have a lot of friends who had their fill of XI and quit years ago. Not one of them are going around thinking, "Gosh, I sure would love a polished up XI so I can go back and do content I've already done with prettier graphics." They've played the game, they're satisfied with their progress, and they're not coming back. New players? Forget it - it's been eight years. That time has come and gone; people have already passed it up for one reason or another, and are even less likely to touch a reboot than ex-players. Maybe - MAYBE - it could be profitable in another ten years, but we're still dealing with the same generation that skipped FFXI to play WoW.

Say what you will about XIV, but expecting an XI-2 to happen is a pipe dream. The only thing I'm really expecting at this point is a lower monthly subscription. We've been paying for XIV all year. Now that they're charging XIV players, I better not be paying as much for XI as I did three years ago for a fraction of the update size. Especially when I'm seeing the juggernaut updates XIV is getting for the same fee.
