I hope they do have another expansion.

ffxi will never totally die but it is close to it atm. The fanbase (as small as it is) will always be there to support the game imo.

I prefer the game more now then at the beginning of my 10 yr journey. The QoL changes to me personally have really helped me enjoy things but sadly they come at minimum, 5 yrs too late.
Too many have left already and even myself, its been so long for these changes to come, I have already found other games that have taken ffxis' place as a main mmo

although ffxi will never be my main mmo again, (the ancient graphics alone are hard to stomach)....it holds a special place to at least jump in on occasion and do a few things.
