Its starting to feel a bit like a hostage-taking situation. "I am holding your beloved FFXI as my hostage, and if you don't let me buy game treasure with dollars, your beloved game will surely die soon."
Stopping console support, 1/3 of JP playes are on consoles.
They aren't offering free PC copies to these console players that have paid many hundreds or thousands of dollars.
They are having an official end to the story.
They are stopping support.

I'm not sure what you take from all that but to me it doesn't state the game has much of a future, the only way that will change is if the game becomes more profitable. Nothing short of a monetisation change is going to do that.

The only future ffxi seems to have is on mobile phones, being run by nexon. Nexon have a terrible reputation.
