What's With the No Future Expansion or Addons?

Pretty sure they'll give us Conquest Point Brews for 20 points.

Karb, I understand where you're coming from, but I'll just say that a lot of that isn't exclusive to an expansion. New enemies could be added to existing areas with quests explaining their sudden appearance. Current areas could also be altered literally to reflect some kind of influence. I know it might worsen the tease, but NPCs could also go on to further explain areas people clamor for just to help placate some.

Overall, I'm not against a new expansion or more add-ons. I'm just against it being a ho-hum, incomplete release like we saw with the earlier big three and needing a year or more to 'finish' when we already dropped our $50 on top of monthly fees. Most everything the concept of an expansion offers can be done individually. I just get the feeling it's somewhat under-appreciated without SE slapping a pretty bow on it with a sub-name like WotG, ToAU, etc..

Maybe i should Reword my thoughts to be more clear. :x

I want to explore the Mithran Homeland, And i want to Explore the Far east. The "New monsters/jobs" Just were an Addendum to the fact these new zones should have new wonders.

It really just is not the same feeling see a new monster if its rotting in North Gustaberg or Rangemount pass, as opposed to how it was seeing Imps/Colibri in Caedarva Mire, a new zone, and a new mob. I mean its like seeing Ruszor in Beauc(S), Sure its neat, but its still less exciting. Same can be said for Gargouilles, they're nice to the scenery but its just not the same when its in the same spot you've been too 1000 times.

I'm sorry if I'm being confusing, But the gist of my, and i think the majority of the peoples feelings in this thread are...

We want to go to and Explore all those Wonderful places we keep getting repeatedly teased about in Cutscenes, Opening Movies, Quests, and Armor/Furnishing Descriptions.


Edit: Oh and trust me, None of us want a half-arsed Released Expansion. But I would gladly take a Incomplete Expansion that gives us Access to Tavnazia, or Mithran Homeworld, as opposed to a Complete "Add-on" that just rehashes the same watered-down over-played zones :\. << this Opinion, However, Might not reflect the Opinions of others in this thread, thats just my own.

Hah, why not just remaster the game and release it on HD for PS3 and Xbox (again) and add the new expansion as the bait. This way it will solve the PS2 problem, and it will generate another wave of cash infusion from PS2 + Xbox + PC players. Let's face it, FF14 is crashing and burning pretty fast... why not regenerate interest from FFXI cash cow.

People who say that there is not enough players to justify an expansion... could you explain how sony could put out an expansion for EQ1 which has way less players?

[Flunklesnarkin]

I don't think the old dev team had a plan for the game after wings of the goddess

hopefully the new dev team can come up with some new storylines...

but like others have said.. the only way that would be possible is to either not release the new expansion to ps2... or get sony to modify the playstation.. which i find unlikely...

Reskinning zones is ok... but it shouldn't be the *only* development tactic.

New jobs would be pretty cool

I'd like to see in a new add-on or expansion is a continent or at least unexplored areas. I would pay pretty much anything to see an expansion/add-on to CoP that was the reclaiming of Tavnazia. That would easily be the best thing ever, imo. The introduction cinematic shows us adventurers marching on it to reclaim it. I WANT SEE THAT IN GAME SO BAD!!! Also it would be the best time to add Meteor/Comet to Blm, lol.

Seriously the more i think about Reclaiming Tavnazia and visiting that Grand City, The more and more upset i get that I can't do it RIGHT NAO :O!

I'd personally love to see another full expansion.
