    I'm with the rest of the people here. I would gladly buy another expansion pack for FFXI, boxed or digital expansion. I would love to explore the easternlands just as others have mentioned. When I was playing more consistently, I bought expansions for PC, XBOX360 and PS2.. SE, don't you want any more money?

    there's still quite a bit of the ffxi world that we haven't explored/experienced yet. As long as they can continue to make money off it (and lol if ff14 flops AGAIN) i'm sure we'll see more content.

    If not then oh well it was one hell of a ride since early 04 for me

    If I was anywhere in the hierarchy of PA and communications in this Company, this thread would have been put to rest and silenced forever with the announcement of an expansion within the next 18 months.

    But SE is no longer a single company. The decision making process in SE has to go through so many approvals. They've gotten too big for their own good. Too much Chinese/EU/NA influences in the company now. Its lost its soul and sense of direction.

    Have no doubt that FFXI isn't even ever discussed internally at the senior level, and if it is ever brought up, its in the past tense as a benchmarking tool/excercise.

    I also have no doubt that it has come under review for termination in cost cutting reports. And the only reason it is floating is because of the long term damage an immediate death of the game would cause the bigger brand, and not because they care about FFXI.
    Someone in that company has got to be kicking themselves in the head for ever thinking FFXIV was ready for release. The game has potential. But when it was released, and certainly not now, is it worthy of being called an MMO.

    If FFXI was not profitable, it would not be running - or would be sold off under a franchise license for another company to try make profit. Economics 101.

    Sure as hell SE wouldn't keep a 10 year old MMO running if it wasn't profitable just for damage mitigation to the brands reputation which is already at an all time low.

    As for people saying 'game engine limits', this pertains to certain things - but adding more Inventory slots or a new expansion consisting of a new continent isn't one of those limits.

    While I generally agree that the game is still profitable, we don't know in what way. So it's perfectly possible that, at the end of the day, it's the more intangible profits of "brand value" that keep the game going rather than going strictly by the balance sheet.

    I wish we could get a new full expansion. I wish SE could send everyone that still plays on ps2 a free pc with FFXI pre installed an a USB ps2 controller for the years of their dedication. But I don't see that happining sadly then the couldn't use "PS2 limitations" as an excuse but then it would be "360 limitations"

    No it woudn't, it'd be Game Engine limitations, which is already the case just under the guise of PS2 Limitations....

    And LOL at the free PC, it's not their problem if a console has now reached it's limits.

    I'd love for a new expansion so as long as they don't go back to the pre-abyssea mire as far as gameplay and the length of time it took for things to be completed.

    More importantly, what I'd really like in a new expansion other than world exploration is another epic adventure/storyline.

    A few parting words,

    1. It doesn't matter if an expansion happens or not. The people paying for this game are allowed to ask for one and are allowed to ask for a reason as to why there hasn't been one in such a long time.

    2. Mudkips or Spikdum? It sounds kind of dirty when said out loud. D=
