If there is a future, its a bit far away.

They're lengthening the time it takes for them to release 99 for way too long.

Since the cap was raised it's all been filler content for every new level cap. Until we're 99 for awhile and endgame starts to add up, I don't see this game as worth playing. We had a lot of content at 75 that was viable for its level for years that added onto itself.

Abyssea was pretty big, but the only endgame right now other than abyssea is VW/dynamis. Both have a lot of crappy drops, take a lot of work, and have low drop rates. It is too obviously filler content... I know the point of running monthly MMOs is to keep the player there each month, but this content is too drawn out and lazy for me to play for another month .

I loved this game for years and years, and I'd come back to it if at 99 there are multiple fun endgame events like there were at 75. Until then It's not worth jumping through the hoops to pay SE.
