FFXI crossover event comming to FFXIV

[Castanica]

It is more about honouring ancestors. It is custom in many parts of the world, to celebrate those who have gone before us, and in the case of games, to honour the earlier games in a series. In the case of this event, it is not celebrating the end of anything, it is recognising the achievements and life of something.

Also, some FF14 players have never played FFXI at all. Any event that ties the two games is a good thing, if it leads gamers to try FFXI for the first time. I meet new players in FFXI from time to time, some of them arrived in FFXI after playing FF14, and they are amazed how much they enjoy FFXI, and surprised that it had somehow eluded their attention for all these years.

Feel free to take it how you wish to take it.

I'm entitled to my opinion.

I don't see it something worth celebrating. Especially since they gave more content for XIV on this event than XI will get from here on out.

It's like your boss saying "Surprise, you're fired! now lets have a party and celebrate your years of service to the company at a party for the new guy that will replace you!"
