need new expansion and new jobs to keep game alive: post to support

[rufuslupus]

Do you want it? Then you must show your support for it otherwise they won't even consider it. if this game is to live then they must do this, otherwise FF11 shall fade out as FF14 fades in.

Listen, abyssea was made for level 80-90. When we are all level 99, we will be super powerful and there won't be anything fun for us to fear. If it has to end, let it end with an expansion made for level 99 that opens up the rest of the ff11 world to us.

What is left to explore in the world of ff11?

1. south of Windurst and Kazham is the great southern continent home of the Mithra empire ruled by their Mithra queen. It was here that the avatar Shiva had an ancient empire before she was banished to the north, here that giant wild beasts roam the lands. To the east of the southern continent is Naja's home island country under influence from the near-east empire.

2. North east of San d'Oria and the ice zones is the great Gigas empire. It was from this empire the Gigas migrated to the Middle-lands to aid the Shadowlord in his war. Over at the Gigas home is a settlement of Vikings who live and make war with the Gigas giants.

3. The far east is just a journey east from the near-east empire. The far east is in chaos from continuing war with the near-east and monsters attacking their lands. It was or is the resting place of the avatar Phoenix as well has the home of the Ninja, Samurai, and Monk. I would imagine it looks like ancient Japan or China a lot.

4. The far west continent, far west of San d'Oria and Bastok nations across the sea are native Indian like people. Very little is known about these people.

What jobs are left to add to the game?

1. Mystic Knight.
2. Time Mage or Sage.
3. Geomancer.
4. Shaman.
5. Necromancer.
6. Viking or Berserker.
7. Mime.
8. Chemist or Engineer.
9. Whatever else you can think of.

Eh, i'd probably buy, and come back for an expansion, but really, i don't see it happening this late in the game's life. It's clear that ffxi is not SE's main focus right now, and i can't see them putting the resources into a full expansion.

Nothx on those jobs though. Bacon mage or gtfo, really.

Someone's forgetting the ancient Galka civilization in Altepa. Also, we have Mime. We call it Blue Mage.

No.... just no.

Several years too late.

You need a viable Square-Enix to keep this game alive, and with what's been happening in their other MMO, there's no real guarantee that exists at this point.

I would *love* to see this. It has been mentioned many times in CoP and Aht Urghan, I'm very interested in seeing Tenzen's homeland!

After the FAILTASTIC XIV they would be wise to try to keep us happy and playing. Most of the people who tried it that I know are now back on FFXI. Another expansion would be a good refresher to the game imo and I am not talking about some crappy add-on for a single piece of gear that I found to be a waste of money. Level cap debates aside abyssea was a great addition to the game and gave us a whole new dynamic to play with. I would personally like to see something else creative like they pulled out of the hat with Abyssea with new areas not just the same map disguised as a new place.

As far as story line and zones go yes please let us explore ancestral the homelands of galka and mithra.

1. Gimme single shot skillchainable sword nukes and the ability runic and I'll love it.
2. Just no. To many overlapping mage abilities, we don't need a second scholar job.
3. Scholars abilities are about as close as we'll get to that.
4. Shaman. Eh, I dunno.
5. Last time they considered it we wound up with pup. Let it go.
6. Call it barbarian and make it NOT war 2.0 and I could tolerate it.
7. Mime...How do you make that work in an MMO without being either useless or overpowered?
8. I don't get the attraction. It's just not that special and there aren't enough buffs that haven't already been thought of already to build a job around using potions. Besides if you really want to use 30k/stack items to heal your tank try beastmaster.

As far as expansions, we should at the very least have these zones for those parts of the world added even if there is no major plot to it, just to explore them and see more of the lore involved and at least 1 last large full scale expansion before the condemn us to endless $10 mini expansions would make me happy.

While I doubt they'll go for new jobs anytime soon, and it wouldn't even really be needed imo, I would love to see them explore the mentioned, but never shown lands and continents. There's so much story, so much history and land to be explored still, those the OP mentioned and the far east, maybe even a new land. I'm very sure there'll be another expansion that will finally make Abyssea what it already is, AF3 farming ground and nothing more. And I hope, pray to the dev team, to not make it another knockoff of existing zones. Wings of the Goddess and the Abyssea expansions already demonstrated a lack of effort that I found kinda unsettling, although they made up for it by new ideas, battle and gameplay wise.

I don't know how much effort they wanna put into it, with FFXIV out now, but FFXI still has a solid playerbase and they have to do something after abyssea. As I said, I just hope this old game is still worth the effort to them, to not make more copies of existing zones, but explore some of the already mentioned but yet unavailable areas of Vana'diel. I still think FFXI has a lot to offer, and I hope they take advantage of that to keep their user number high, instead of slacking off and losing members to either FFXIV or, which sadly is more likely, other MMOs (including RL).

i would personally love to take a trip to the mithran homeland. should totally have an expansion there. and they could have a little tarutaru outpost! Maybe Shantotto will be involved, she took a vacation there!

but seriously, i think boxed expansions are done. i think they going to keep doing the add-on thing. The first 3 sucked if you consider what they should have been (although i liked ASA, i have a shantotto thing), the abyssea ones are pretty awesome, so i think SE could realistically do maybe an expansion in 3 parts, with new areas, mobs, etc (all the goodies a new expansion would bring). And at least this way, we wouldn't have to wait 3 years for the end of the expansion we bought at the onset (hey you Wings of the Goddess).
