It likely has something to do with the apparent porting to the Vita.

It likely has something to do with the apparent deliciousness of Krispy Kreme

I'm willing to bet that they import Krispy Kremes to japan to feed the devs at the office. So, despite your off-topic post, you're probably right.

We aren't making up speculations. They apparently are planning or at least considering to port it to the vita. I wasn't the one who made that up.

If they do end up porting it to the Vita I hope they at least backport the Vita client to Windows so that we can use OpenGL and finally dump DirectX 8.

(although FFXI apparently does use pixel and vertex shaders for some things) With programmable shaders in OpenGL this would no longer be a problem.(1)Last edited by Atomic_Skull; 10-23-2011 at 01:48 PM.
