Single Player/Offline Mode?

Well they could tweak the game, make it so that you can play with your Xbox Live friends or PS3 friend list, release this version as the ultimate one (with all the online contents in one disc or two), and make us pay for it all over again as their last desperate attempt to cash in. Maybe upgrade the graphic so that it is playable via PS3. They can also create NPCs so that if you play offline you can hire Prishe, Lion, and all of your favorite NPCs from the missions you have completed.

I've been wanting this for years, since I quit FFXI due to not having the time. Like you said, the multiplayer features like the AH, linkshells, and so on would have to either be changed or disabled, but most of the game features would be able to stay in. Rather than just a solely singleplayer game, I'd love it if it had a system similar to NWN, or Borderlands, where singleplayer is an option, but you also have the option to play multiplayer with a few people, either hosted externally, or on your own PC. I never got the chance to fully experience FFXI, and I would pay big bux to be able to do it with an offline mode option.
