So Alhanelem you asked for the source, I gave you the source. Took me quite a bit of time to go through all the FFXI forums to look for those threads again. What's even more ironic is that you made posts in some of those threads as well, I have no clue how you forgot about them.

In before you write: "those are no confirmation at all, you're wrong, I'm right, those are no source blahblah"
I'm aware they can change their mind whenever they want, but I'd say from the amount of information we have in our hands atm we can say it's safe enough to believe they have pretty serious intentions about that all, to say the least.
