What's With the No Future Expansion or Addons?

New jobs would be pretty cool

If you can tell me the difference between fighting a crawler in Sarutabaruta, Tahrongi, Buburimu, Shakhrami, Crawler's Nest, and so on beyond level/stats and TP move variance with some sub-families, I'll stop being a "whiny snot" about where a fight takes place actually mattering. I'd rather not sit here and waste potentially limited development resources on yet more busts when (long-time) needed fixes could be made to current areas. Sadly, the FFXI scale tends to hinge on whether or not something is the best or not. If a new zone or set of them is not good for EXP, gear, or gil, people will not want much to do with it after the newness passes. This was true before Abyssea, and it will remain so after.

Having the potential for something to turn out badly done isn't a reason to not do it. I might as well just say, well they should do it because it could turn out great. It's like saying someone shouldn't have children because they *could* potentially grow up to be murderers.

There's no way to make a poll on these threads is there?

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.

Pretty sure its more of an Internet Meme, not from the actually game. If anything it'd be from S.F64 of the "Adventures" one. I haven't completed Adventures.

red ring of death: CAN'T LET YOU PLAY THAT, XBOX!!!!!

Rambus: hey LS i am muling, give me a min.
STF: can't let you do that rambus *bans mule account*
Rambus: what the heck?
peppy: do a barrel roll
Rambus: I ....can't.... lose!

really need pm so off topic, i guess my point would be showing and making fun of how SE tells us they can't do that? XD

There have been a lot of threads and comments related to expansions and add-ons, so I'll shed some light on the current direction. The main focus for this year is to upgrade and expand content through version updates. For example, the current roadmap is filled to the brim with what we feel are exciting and valuable updates. So for this year, we do not have plans at the current moment for expansions or add-ons.

[Karbuncle]

I died a little inside.

Is it possible we might see something Next year, Or some time down the line? Or is the idea completely out of the question and the Development team is never going to release another new-zone-giving Expansion?

Or is it too soon to tell? You can tell us We won't leave you.

Also the Roadmap is very exciting to a lot of us, We enjoy what is the works. I Hope you guys didn't get "We hate everything about the roadmap and want more zones QQ" from this thread D:. We're all excited for whats ahead, We just wanna look into the future of FFXI, and see if its going to ever Expand to new zones, Or to just expect all the current and future content to take place in already existing areas.

What about next year? Maybe a new downloadable expansion/add-on series with the final level cap increase?

Edit: Please don't take this to mean that I'm not interested in the upcoming content, because I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Yeah we all probably mostly are excited about the roadmap etc - but reworking old content or adding new content to old zones just isn't the same as actually providing a new continent to explore.
