Say what you want about Tanaka, he helped make FFXI one of the best MMOs ever.

I don't even place the failure of 1.0 entirely at his feet. There were other people higher up who wanted FFXIV out the door ASAP. I'm sure they didn't care that it wasn't finished because it could be perpetually updated --and they certainly didn't expect players/media/etc to get up in arms about it.

This game (and FFXIII) caused a big wakeup at SE. They realized that just because your game is called 'Final Fantasy', it doesn't mean that everyone will give you a free pass if it turns out to be a pile.

Oh hey everyone, I think I should remind you that SE is on the wall whether or not to bring FFXI to the PS Vita.

If this happens, then if nothing else, you'd have a chance to play FFXI while away from your PC (vacation, school, work, prison, etc.)

(actually, FFXI on vita would be very cool, but I don't think I'll be going back to it unless they make it f2p, or at least give us FFXIV players a substantial discount)

Totally agree!

Also, ppl is ignoring the fact they will be separating the FFXI client of PC from PS2/360, starting by the exclusive UI...so it's VERY possible that over time the PC version actually getting a graphic boost.

I'm really looking foward to it since the "Claim the Land" mechanics look very cool, the lairs are a nice idea, the new monsters' concept art are really cool and if the job they will show today turns out to be an A+ GS job I'll go crazy! I ALWAYS wanted an A+ GS job since it was my weapon of choice there! ^^

Lol that trailer is terrible.

Tbh With the his Vision of FFXIV ( which was alot revolved around Leves moreover anything else, which was an endless grind of the same friggen quests over and over and over again)... I'm even sure if his Vision would have been good, even if it was fully realized.

And besides Yoshi-P is fixing the game anyways and its turning out to be a beauty.. so in the end.. I don't care who made it.. because in the end everyone as a whole at SE made it.. If FFXIV is Commercially successful Don't just thank Yoshi-P but thank everyone that worked beside him as well.

I'm so excited for this and I plan on resubbing XI after my next paycheck to get myself caught up :D! The timing at the very least gives me some time to see if 2.0 delivers everything they promised and whether or not I want to continue with XIV (which I'm sure it will be wonderful). What I can't quite figure out are all the raging people who seem to have the mind set that you can only pick 1 game to play and you have to hate the other by default. Financial reasons set aside for some people, I plan on keeping both games open and enjoying them both, but all over the place I'm seeing so much close-minded malice bashing one game or the other because it's not their "main mmo".

I couldn't agree more! I love both games.. and as such can't wait to play this new expansion AND FFXIV 2.0 ( of course 1 game will catch more of my time than the other) BUT I still love both games and I'll be playing both.. if FFXIV isn't so hot.. then I can just simply go to FFXI full time :P.

My GF thought the same thing. Funneling money into XIV, budget cuts for XI!

At least now people who have been complaining that XI is in maintenance mode can change their complaints to "Wow, those cities look generic!"

Ironic, considering Melee currently (especially DRG) has to position properly in battles to combo, therefore a positional (technical) mage would fit perfectly in XIV.
