why no mention of r/e/m

That's just how progression works.

In the 11 years this game has existed, that has NOT been how progression has worked. This isn't WoW or "another game". That's the whole point here, which you seem to miss by miles.

In fact, if they make the new game content appealing enough, they can generate new subscribers even though the game is older.

I pity anyone who's a newcomer in FFXI now. SoA and Delve made the gap between new players and veterans even wider than it was before.


Get back to me when you've made a weapon worth 170 mil gil in heavy metal plates and riftcinders because you really enjoy playing this one job and want it to be as well-geared as you can possibly make it, only to have SE tell you that your efforts - and the efforts of the people that helped you - have been made worthless less than 2 weeks later.

Not to mention mythics. Thank God I never started on Kogarasumaru.
