So the game has been out now for around 6 months, so I was thinking hmm how long till SE releases a expansion. Now don't get me wrong I know the game is still very uncomplete, but they have had a lot of time and I don't think this is all they have created for the game. Plus remember FFXI had many flaws, and as soon as the expansion was added much more life came to the game. Anyways I was bored and wanted to put up some ideas for the first expansion, list your ideas as well Im very interested to see where this game is going.
-I believe a month before the expansion, or even on the day of the expansion a big update will be released that will release a lot more content, and fix the major bugs with the battle system to introduce the new expansion.
Update before Expansion Speculation
-Adjust a lot of Abilities, and spells
-Companies
-Chocobos/Airships
-Battle system improvement
-Remake of certain Animations, or increase Size of effect, and the duration of the animation
-A idea to make each class more unique.
________________________________________________________________________
Expansion Speculation
-Rank/Level Cap up to 60
-Musketeer(War),Arcanist(Magic),Mime(Magic)(Blue mage),Bard(Magic),Evoker(magic)
-all areas Eorzea (Except for the Garlean Empire {Keep that for the expansion after :p}
-New Regular line Story missions, plus expansion missions
-New monsters in current zones plus new ones.
-New armor
-Middle/End game events
-More quests
-And finally PS3 version lol :D
post your Ideas for the first Expansion of the game :D

I'm a little more in favor of an expansion patch at this moment in time.

Makes me wonder if SE are actually holding back content to release as an expansion at PS3 launch.
That would be a kick in the face if I ever saw one lol. (especially if they expect PC players to pay for it)
As for the OP much of what you wrote is pretty standard stuff and what most of us would expect to see in an expansion. -
03-30-2011, 04:22 AMVerecundOr a few patches that add anything of meaning at all to the game...Quote:

I think that why SE hasn't released any new content only upgrades, and fixes because they are holding back for ps3 version + expansion. But we can all be wrong and maybe the formal team had almost nothing done lol.

Yeah, we shouldn't really worry about expansions so much just yet. FFXI was released in 2002 and one year later Rise of the Zilart was released in 2003. We have a little ways to go.
WoW was released in 2004 and the first expansion wasn't out until 2007. That is a pretty big gap!! xD -

I'm expecting all of Eorzea that's currently on our maps to be open by the end of Fall/beginning of Winter, and that includes Dravania, Paglth'an, O'Ghomorro, Xelphatol, Gyr Abania, Ishgard, Sharlayan, and Ala Mhigo.
I'm expecting Beastmen(specifically sahagin, and kobolds) and other traditional Final Fantasy monsters(such as behemoths, mindflayers, tonberries, etc.) to be rolled out before year's end.
Naturally I'm expecting chocobos and airships to be introduced as transportation(as well as maybe those "chocobo-driven carriages).
More story arcs, potentially furthering the coming conflicts with Garlemaid or the tenuous relationships that each city-state has with the different beast tribes.
Finally, it'd be pretty strange if new classes, specifically Musketeer, Arcanist, and Shepard(maybe Mystic and Fencer) weren't introduced by year's end.
Whether or not this will be released on a disc, I can't say. I DO think however that all this stuff would come shortly before or at PS3 launch. Probably before in order to bring in hype for it. -

Here are some crazy ones:

Faction Vs Faction content.
Oh and Triple Triad. -
03-30-2011, 05:28 AMMalakhimAfter reading this, I went over to teh googles to look up a list of all the different summons there have been in Final Fantasy, given that due to the lore, there are several summons that are automatically unavailable(unless they do something about that).Quote:

Valefor, Quetzacoatl, Siren, Phoenix, Typhoon, Pandemonium, Phantom, Brothers, Syldra, Bismark, Mist Dragon, etc.
Hell, FFXIV got me into playing mage classes, I might even be up for this. -

Sorry that was lame, ill go slap myself -

Heh....
WoW's casual base wouldn't have the computing power to run this game, and WoW's hardcore base wouldn't be satisfied with the low skill-cap.
F**k. I'm just glad this game doesn't have 'achievements'. -
03-30-2011, 06:18 AMZenakuit does have achievements it's on the loadestone lolQuote:
