Please reconsider dropping content additions after the last BC is released in Nov.

Why is change so hard to accept? There is soo much to do in that game...I mean..it took me almost 4 years to complete all the story lines. I've enjoyed my time with FFXI. I play on Windows, so I'll still be playing...even to the end hopefully. There are still others out there that will still want to play, so I'll play with them. You can't expect them to keep tossing out new content over and over when they want to move on...whether its better or worse. Thank you SE for the wonderful memories! Thank you for creating a virtual world! Thank you for your time!

I'm not saying they have to constantly add new content. I'm saying don't shut the door on QoL updates and needed job improvements.

Did they even finish monstrosity? That is a whole other side to the game that would be viable if they did a tiny bit more with it.

Also I hope they finish up Job points. It seems like an interesting system but I think there needs to be another 100 point tier passive or two (At 400, or even 500 JP, add ACC and MACC job point categories if possible).

I know the game is huge but at the same time it's finite (and I've done a lot of it). But another part of what made me come back frequently was the monthly updates even if it was just job tweaks.

I applaud you, Sir.

You really said what I have been thinking, entirely. Vanadiel has given me over a decade of fun, friendship, excitement and joy. Nothing else in my life has ever come close to that, not videogames or anything. Even though I pay subs for the game, I am still in SE's debt because they gave me a decade of unforgettable memories, something money can not buy, and certainly not the tiny subs they asked of me.

And so I will be battling monsters in Vanadiel, going fishing, petting my Mog Garden sheep, and so on, for as long as the game is available online, and it doesn't matter to me that there are no more expansions 2016+ because it is still Vanadiel and still the realm of wonder where all my fondest memories dwell.

Have to agree here as well, regardless of new content or not I will stay as long as I can. Too many good memories and tbh too much for me to still do!

It is simply too close to my heart to abandon it, but ppl should not be surprised, I have noted many many times on alla how dead ffxi is ...this is simply the result of that reality.

Its a change...nothing more in my eyes. Look forward to playing this wonderful game for a good bit of time yet, but if and when the end does happen, I will accept it. Until then, I still have a long list of things to finish....and even start!

The problem is that once you've caught up to speed on accomplishments with nothing left to look forward to but the Next Update. That's when you quit. Which would happen sooner rather than later I would imagine for the vast majority whom still play. I play on 360 and if Nov is the last of the last then I won't even need them to boot me offline by March 2016 when they kill off support for my platform. I would be already long gone by then with little to do that meant anything beyond nastalgia.

Yeah but this is nothing new. Having played since ps2, i can't tell ya how many i've seen log on day of update, burn thru a few missions and latest gimmick, then disappear till the next update...then just cancel sub for good when it became clear the updates can't keep up with their progress. Nov-March was until SoA a typical update cycle. I mean this right here is why we've gone from 500k subs to 80k ish. If you ask me, the devs determined they can't keep this pace of monthly updates with the limited budget they have

Even with all the content added since lv75, it's possible to make a new char and max out on all but mythics in 3-4 months or less. For the most part, people who won't accomplish this before november play sparingly or avoid endgame
