New expansion?!?

[Alhanelem]

I doubt it. The way Adoulin screwed up the game way more than even Abyssea, it seems extremely unlikely they'd dedicate that kind of time an money to the few people still playing.

The game is a lot better, not a lot worse, since audolin. It like... almost made up for abyssea. Almost. The reason abyssea broke the game was it made everyone feel powerful... but only while you're in it. Then any new content they came out with that wasn't abyssea wasn't nearly as compelling because it couldn't live up to abyssea with its power mechanics. The expansion is the first thing since abyssea to bring you a feeling of power outside of Abyssea. In other words, it was the first thing to come out that could compete with it, and offers a wider range of things to do.

They can do more expansions til the ps2 runs out of disk space again; after that they can't really do anything without dropping ps2 support everywhere.

the way i see it, they just had a very small update this month. if we see another small update next month then that puts the probability that they are working on another expansion pretty high.

Update was more minor than usual because of the holiday season. Next update will be more significant.

or expansion story lines to get relevant end game items for today.

You're annoyed that you have to do current relevant content to get relevant items? What?

I agree that the rather extensive amount of content that is needed to progress can be off putting, but at the same time it's also one of the game's strengths. I don't know how they can address this without really blunting the experience.
