Is there a future?

We can only hope that when (if?) FF14 actually starts bringing in some money, they will be able to free up some resources to work a bit more on FF11. Maybe this is why we haven't heard much more about adoulin yet? Could just be that they're currently spending so much on FF14 that they don't have a lot of spare resources to work on adoulin.

As I understand it, they have two separate development teams for FF14. One for the current version, and one for the new version. Hopefully, the people working on the current version could be reallocated to work on FF11 when they finally pull the plug.

And before someone goes all "but the current version sucks, i don't want them working on ff11", keep in mind that the first FF14 version didn't suck simply because everyone involved were poor employees. A lot of the issues were design choices by a person who is no longer working there. There would be no risk of FF11 becoming worse if they take one of the graphics artists who was working mainly with textures and bring him to FF11, for example. With a new expansion and whole new areas, there is probably a lot of texture work to be done. Same with audio related work, area design, NPC dialogue, etc.

Not according to the last interview of he who shall not be named, he claimed he let the 14 team make their own choices, man has no shame.
