FFXI new expansion concerns

I found out from a friend who's still fully playing 11 that it is getting this new expansion and 2 new jobs. I am concerned that this will be a death nail in 14 2.0. I am not happy that after all this time 11 is getting a new expansion and 2 new jobs. What does this mean for 14? Will this new stuff for 11 compromise 14 in any way?

I don't think it will. 2.0 will more than likely be out before this new expansion, they are still very early on in the development process. With that in mind, if 2.0 succeeds in all the right ways, then people will either subscribe to both FFXIV, and FFXI, or just simply ignore FFXI in consideration that FFXIV is everything "new" that they need right now.

I don't think it's going to make too much of an impact.

I think it's an attempt to get people to subscribe to both, I'm sure we'll hear about another discount for subscribing to both sometime between 2.0 release and the release of the new FFXI expansion.

Theres like 30 people that play on each server in ffxi lol

my 3ds has better resolution than ffxi lol :)

nothing to worry about

obvious cashgrab is obvious

@OP the funny thing is, that the peeps over in the XI forums think that XIV is getting the royal treatment just because it's a newer game. The argument you made goes both ways as far as this discussion goes. Also, XIV has more development staff than XI, and lastly isn't version 2.0 kind of considered a free expansion for us? :D

Aah, I stopped reading the ffxi forums when I pretty much stopped playing it. Just heard ppl complain 11 was getting too easy with the way you can get a capped job there now. Even heard the theory they were doing that to get ppl through the content asap because they were going to push 14 and kill 11 in a few years at the most. I can see it going both ways. Abyssea was what killed 11 for most so they were happy to try 14 out. Most ppl I knew from 11 who left it was because of Abyssea. I was just voicing my concerns and concerns I've seen voiced in ls chatter.
Interesting how ppl on FFXI forums think 14 is getting this royal treatment, thx for that info.

And what is this thread doing in Localization?

I meant to put it in general but accidentally put it in here w/o thinking which section I was in.

Hello,

I have taken the liberty of moving this thread to the general discussion section since localization pertains specifically to feedback dealing with translation and issues dealing with it. I hope this discussion yields fruitful results. But in the future, please try to keep threads to their relevant sections. Thank you.

nothing to worry about. FFXIV has a team of 255 people working hard none stop to deliver 2.0

We get an entire new world. I don't see the big deal. I'm happy XI still gets content, even though I don't plan on playing it any time soon (I played it for years, that ship has sailed...was a great time, but I've moved on).

^this 100% abyssea is the reason me and my wife quit 11 after 8+yrs along with everyone we knew lol.this is just a marketing scam to get ppl to come back. doesn't really matter to them which game you pick they get the same sub fee from you either way.
I'm not gonna lie to you the new land (outside screenshots) got me interested and i might go back for a month to explore it. The city looked horrible though it's like they are trying to make another WG but its really ugly and looked bare. they concept art of the river city was nice though. Just hope that video was a rough look at the new city. Mainly would go back because i miss my Blu ; ;. only Chance this expansion has is if they add New Endgame events like sea/dynamis/sky in the new land.

I'm not worried really. I mean hell, I know some people who loved FFXI but have no interest in going back even with the expansion.

XIV gets new game engine and server structure, XI gets rehashed zones... who wins?

This. I saw Whitegate, Jugner, and Purgonorgo Isle. Those are "new lands"?

That Foresty area looks way too much like our current Black Shroud...

I'm not worried about that at all.

They have a team working on each game. Juat because ffxi is finally.getting some new content doesnt mean se is paying any more or less attention to ffxiv. Id rather see 2.0 fix the foundation of the game such as UI and server stability and graphic improvements then see new expanded content for now.

People seem to forget that FFXI is its own game with its own fans. As long as FFXI is not F2P, then the players deserve more content. As others have stated, FFXI has its own dev team working on that content. There is no need to assume that any resources are being stripped from FFXIV in order to produce a new expansion for FFXI.

If anything, it's the other way around.

FFXI has a certain nostaligic feeling to it, but I do think that ast this point 14 has it little following of it´s own. No need to be concerned

Need to get over w/e is being released in FFXI. Not only is it not going to be the "death" of 14 but they aren't going to stop making content for 11 just to try and hope 11 will die and all of them will go to 14.

Why would a new expansion for FFXI that isn't coming out anywhere near the time that ffxiv is be a death nail for it?

It's not even being released for the PS2 outside of Japan. It's not going to be a big deal.

They aren't going to kill off either of their games. People that wish to keep playing FFXI deserve new content just as much as we do.

Not sure if serious

FF11's got about 300k subscribers and earns SE about 50 million dollars a year.

Hey Folks!

We can understand the concern that people have over one game getting some attention over another. As many people have stated, we do have separate development teams for many of our projects. During crunch time, they may borrow folks from one team to the other, but you can be sure that FINAL FANTASY XIV still is moving forward. =)

I am going to go ahead and lock this thread as the concern has been addressed by our loyal community.

Thanks again!
