LOL!

You're welcome

God dammit, just when I thought I was free to full time FFXIV.

Seeker of Adoulin = 2.0 killer

If they keep the schedule of releasing expansions in march, 2.0 will have only 3 months to prevent mass migration to FFXI since a large part of XIV playerbase is XI veteran.

I'm already 500% hyped with this expansion...and we're still missing the 2nd job that might be shown tomorrow! @_@

I have no doubt that FFXIV someday will get Geomancer too.

Pft you still got time expansion isn't set to sail til sometime in 2013 XD.

I see no PS2 support. Did they finally drop it?

Also, nostalgic longing all up in this shit.

It was expected since PS2 was discontinued for a while already.

trailer for those too lazy to go to official site...

They're slowly phasing it out, It's PS2 in Japan, but dropped for NA/EU, where it's mostly JP playerbase who still use their PS2 because indie devs and Visual Novels are still releasing on it.

Also Geomancer basically plays as a directional based Mage and ability to set Buff spheres around the battlefield/party.

I really don't see how an expansion to a 10-year old game could somehow be more exciting than what 2.0 is looking to be, no matter how much love you had for XI.

XI still has a alot more content than XIV has right now 1.. so when XI gets an Expansion to what it already has.. it just makes to more appealing as a whole.

This is how I feel.

FFXI died when Abyssea happened.

Let's see:

-More content to an already overflowing amount of content.
-New jobs (XIV still has yet to even release new ones that weren't an extension of old.)
-New storyline and exploration of an already large world.

2.0 is an overhaul, XI's new expansion is an extension to the world and lore. The only excitement for 2.0 is that it'll finally (hopefully) fix what's wrong with the game. People will be equally excited when they release an expansion to XIV too.

Unless XIV does some amazing things by May 2013..XI is going to be the better choice for content, since 2.0 is merely an overhaul in the long run up until we see their update pattern.

Apparantly they dropped it in America/Europe. Japan will still support ps2 for the expansion.

2.0 is not only an overhaul but also an expansion in itself. When it's released it won't be the same game with the same content. It'll be a completely unique experience from 1.0 that'll offer a lot of new content as well as some familiar content. At least from what I've read that's what they want to do upon releasing 2.0. They want to give players enough content to play around with so it will feel more like an expansion and less like just an overhaul.

Said Geomancer art btw.

I think the main appeal to 2.0 is that it's moving to a new client and server infrastructure, any content additions will be nice as long as they do take into consideration some current issues with content. The only content we know of in 2.0 is the Crystal Tower which may or may not come at release, the new content slated for 2.0 is probably a ways off sadly.

I am reminded how much better Roegadyn look with tails.

Pretty cool ;o I am more excited for 2.0 and future of XIV however. Hehe I quit FFXI in October 2011 and played since its release...it was fun game while it lasted :)

I was just expressing my curiosity for Geomancer coming to Eorzea

If it's at minimum like how they plan XI's it would be a good class/job as long as people stop excluding jobs from content for absolutely no reason lol. For now we know

Facing x side of monster (North iirc) = More magic attack power
Facing East/West = Reduced Recast timers
Facing East/West = More potent buffs? (If I read that correctly, mighta been magic accuracy)
Facing South = Reduced cast times.

It would fit well in XIV where some encounters have you moving about like Ifrit/Chim/Garuda.

i guess SE decided to keep FFXI, i remember way back before WOTG came out they said it was gonna be the last expansion.

??? job = mystic im thinking

Because they were banking on XIV to succeed lol.

No freaking way, Geomancer in FFXI? Do you know how much I wanted that job when I was playing it and NOW they finally release it? Damnit... >_<

As much as I would love to play the job though, I doubt I'll be going back to FFXI at this point... Sigh... here's hoping it gets put into FFXIV I guess... :\

This is great for me. I get to play both. Oh wait...that's not good for my spare time...

IDK, while XI's expansion is definitely pretty sweet, I think you're understating 2.0. We finally get the continue the lore and to see a world that doesn't look the same for the most part. Then they also stated a list of content in the pdf files such as the labyrinth, primals, crystal tower, dragon horde and odin. If you ask me I'd say 2.0 is both an overhaul and a mini-expansion.

Either way, pretty sick to see a new FFXI expansion, and I can't wait to see what the other new job is cause it looks like a pretty freaking sweet shadow.

i'm hella jelly but i need HD graphics to play games. plus i've moved on from XI years ago.

I bet they are gonna reuse another wep for the job and the same ol spells.

I like how they added Geomancer after this abyssea shit. Thanks SE, now I'm willing to trudge through that awful content as a Geomancer.

I've been contemplating resubbing to FFXI ever since this was announced. It's terrible. I can't pay $23 a month on games, nor can I keep up with playing both. God dammit.

I thought you get a discount for subbing to both?

seriously? they stoped PS2 support? dang't!!!!!! but i just looked up how much it goes for and i could possible sell all my FFXI PS2 crap for a little over $1,000, i dont really know why its so expensive since you appareantly cant play it anymore but hey thousand bucks is a thousand bucks.

Sorry SE, my hopes are with XIV now... I can't and won't go back to XI... looks cool though.

PS2 support isn't stopped, just this particular expansion isn't in America/Europe since there's almost no reason for that system to exist anymore there. In Japan it still fully supported by indie and anime studios.
