Put it to you this way: I would be incredibly surprised if they were to ever offer an updated FFXI. Even though it's easily worth it even now to give us a new fresh coat of paint for FFXI because millions of dollars says it's damn worth it, it is painfully obvious they are content with status quo FFXI. FFXIV was their answer to a graphically improved FFXI. No one asked for it but that's what they chose to do so they could try to cash in on the work that they so consider 'not worth the investment' for a "freebie".

So... yeah. You will win the lottery before SE gives us justice on this matter. That's how sure I am that they will never do it. We are extremely lucky that Tanaka felt sorry enough for us to give us windows client updates before he left. I'm sure they'll continue that work until it's done then I'm certain it's goodbye to updates like that to FFXI. And why should they? It's not like it's the industry standard to give your ten year old MMO a facelift to breathe fresh life into your game that people have been staring at for a decade to entice them to stick around even longer. What a dumb investment lol no one ever does such a thing.

True, SE is only going to be stuck with players reaching the inevitable question forever. Not like we have server resets, rollback and things to bring us down from reaching the inevitable question.

It's only playing cat and mouse with the DEV TEAM at this rate.

Although i think SE should offer a reward of some type to FFXI players joining FFXIV if they decide to stop giving us updates. I mean 11 years supporting FFXI would encourage us to move over to FFXIV and ditch XI easier than just drop the game all together.

If SE intends to keep XI players happy, they should add longer quests to achieve power, not make us achieve quick only to get bored and ask for more content.

I also suggest DEV TEAM add various events on different parts of the game in order for us to play forgotten maps, areas we no longer play. Also add content on top of existing content.

I mean when's the last time anyone went to Den of Rancor? Temple of Ugly throat stabbing. In my opinion I think SE should add some more HNMs with rare/ex gears in various maps to encourage us to play all parts of FFXI than skipping areas that are worthless.

Live events with bosses marching or randomly appearing would be fun too. I mean WR Rieves proves they can implement a boss without claim conditions.

Also implementing boss to have unpredictable random pops would make it fun and long lasting.

Point is, DEV Team keeps adding areas only for us to finish the area and move to the next place. All events are predictable because they do the same ones every year.

If they intend for us to stay even longer, we need more content that's repeatable with unpredictable spawn location/conditions and reasons to play longer, not faster.

Imagine if an HNM super king sized popped in Yhoater Jungle and could teleport during a certain amount of HP to any other map like Yuhtunga. Only for everyone to go rush and hunt for it again to continue the fight.
