It means they will shut the service down for those consoles just like they shut tetra master down for everyone. If you want to continue playing Final Fantasy XI online by that time, you will have to play on PC or their planned mobile service.

Which comes to my question. It's no shock the ps2 support is being dropped seeing as the international countries did not get Seekers of Adoulin for ps2 outside of Japan. Furthermore has been speculated being dropped for years because of speculation it was holding back FFXI to be improved. So the question is this: Why is the XBox360 version being dropped? (I play windows version)

This ties in to a previous question about the mobile version being a port of the true FFXI: will players in the mobile and PC versions be able to interact with each other?

Not sure if this question was ever asked before, but i am wondering if the SE producers are considering a truly FFXI movie (with all 22 jobs appearing as different characters inside the movie, without any job overpowering any)?

I know i may be too idealistic or childish to ask for this, but it has always been my wish to see a truly FFXI movie. Esp now, when i feel that the end is coming.... /cry >.<~~

I kinda feel like huge butt for asking for ffxi on mobile for the last 3 years via forums.... I didn't think it would cost ffxi for Xbox 360 ..... Though I'm a little excited to play ffxi on my iPad and iPad mini (to make up for me trio boxing with 2 xbox 1 PC) but I anticipate more people using third part programs to make up for this change, please reconsider keeping xbox support, or maybe releasing a version on the xbox one marketplace

[sweetidealism]

Is it possible that FFXI might receive the "A Realm Reborn" treatment? That is, will we ever see the game rebuilt from scratch for the sake of modernizing it?

Will we see any updates for relic and mythic holders boost in weapon damage or boost in afterglow in the future?

Greetings, everyone.

I was able to collect a few more answers to some of the other questions that appeared in this thread.

Can Summoners please get Bahamut now?

There are no plans to add Bahamut as an avatar for summoners. We would like to focus on adding new elements and adjustments to the current avatars.

can monk please get a ws boost

We feel that monks are already dealing a steady amount of damage through all their auto-attacks, and as such we do not have any plans to enhance their weapon skills.

I was thinking if there could be a ultimate delve zone which carried all mega bosses from all the previous delve zones and adding in one ultra mega boss.

This is a really fun and exciting idea, but we still haven’t finalized the necessary development time and resources required for Rhapsodies of Vana’diel. We can’t make any promises at the moment, but we’ll look into it as a future idea.

Will we see any updates for relic and mythic holders boost in weapon damage or boost in afterglow in the future?

We’d like to treat Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, and Ergon weapons very carefully. We understand that these are very special for their owners, but we need to proceed carefully giving consideration towards other equipment and battle content. We’ve been receiving a lot of feedback on these extraordinary pieces of equipment, and we will try and look into adding an additional element; however, we would like some time to discuss this.

Will the game go free to play after November since there will be no more updates? Honestly our money will be going torwards nothing I think it's only right or atleast lower the cost.

[Blah]

All right I'll ask , why specifically are you ending the game on the Xbox 360? Is it really holding the game back as much as the PS2?
