Is there a future?

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.

With XIV going into maintenance non save mode at the end of the month, that should free up some people for XI and SoA.

I highly doubt it. They're going to be working on ARR harder than ever I would imagine. Let's face it. It's all hands on deck for ARR and skeleton crew for XI for the foreseeable future.

As someone who has worked on multiple games at different studios this tactic is a common practice and with games getting larger+risky+more expensive its pretty common to grab your best devs and throw them on the next thing that needs to ship.
Given the lateness on delivering the items on the XI roadmap and the millions SE has to throw at FFXIV to make it become relevant+get some subs to recoup the costs, I expected XI to get even less updates until the expansion comes out (and it will be probably late)
