On the new years announcement, they mentioned redoing the hardware of FFXI to support more content. I really hope they start opening up the world of Vana d'Iel, because at the moment there's only about 40% of the world available to be travelled. Heck, when they opened up the East, they only opened up half of it (Treasures of Aht Urhgan). Then, instead of introducing new areas, they just redid old ones for a different time period (Wings of the Goddess), then the SAME areas AGAIN (Abyssea). It's time they start applying a design team to making new areas, storylines, and such, so we can start seeing new expansions.

However, I have a really good feeling no new jobs will be seen. Though there's styles SE hasn't explored with FFXI, but introducing them is just bringing out more jobs that can do new combinations of the same things. If anyone can make a truly unique new job, I think Geomancer is the route, as the job isn't really a mage or a melee, but they use abilities that are terrain/weather dependent that have a unique combination of effects. Would be like the DD version of DNC, where instead of a list of support abilities, would be a list of damaging abilities.
