Where do you see FFXIV in 5 years?

[Vicious]

Where do you see FFXIV in 5 years? Still doing FATEs but on new continents to reach lvl80? Perhaps with new classes/jobs. Still grinding dungeons for tokens weekly to get the newest gear so you can get on the latest rides. A new Ifrit/Garuda/Titan/ect mode for every new level cap, which at this point would be "super chaotic extreme for reals this time" mode. More story content. More cities. Still fighting against anonymous players in PVP. Sitting in the new Uldah or in your house thinking of what to do or in queue for something. Lightning returns or some other FF character makes an appearance.

Another hate thread I guess

I don't know what will happen in this game, but I know what I would like to see.
I would like to see more of the key FF classes, I'm sorry but SCH is not one. I hope for Theif, Ninja and Red Mage at least.
For bosses, I like the idea of Crystal Tower using old FF bosses, but I personally never played FF3.
For Primals I would like to see the other main Element Primals, Ramuh for one.
I would also like to see a two Primal 24 man fight, where would fight two Primals.
I think it is hinted that there will be a Hardmode Ultima, which I welcome.

We survived an end of an era. It will continue on with or without you!

Eh, doesn't seem like a hate thread per se, however I do think people are gonna go HAM on trolling this.

I just wanted to inb4 because I know for a fact I'll get a ton of points on this one. I think the game will
have a lot to do and will still be flourishing just fine in 5 years. Just from seeing what's in store for 2.1-2.3
shows they have plans. They've already submitted a rough draft of the first expanion, too.

I know I'm in it for the long haul, been playing since Phase 3 and loving every minute of it. Yes, improvements
can be made and such, but this game has a ton of potential. That's up to SE to capitlize on. I see this game
lasting quite a long time, honestly.

I see MANY new jobs coming, new towns, still a ton of primals they can add. Also, they have an enormous pool
of FF nostalgia to pull from and add in if they so choose. I'm excited as hell.

Without fixing a few issues.....Personally I think it will still be limping along. With fluctuating subscriptions based around patch and XPAC's release. Let's be completely honest. There isn't much as far as challenging content besides Coil at this point.

IF they do address the redundancy of early content and leveling. The server latency issues and server errors. It could be going strong.

They're off to a bad start with the way they're handling RMT and customers. I like the game. There are a lot of things in the future I look forward to but not everyone will stick around to pimp out their house or get the best breed of racing chocobo. NA community is a vile brood of snakes.

If you had asked me this 2 or 3 months into Guild Wars 2, the LAST thing I would have described is where it is today with its biweeky updates, jam-packed servers, and sadly complete abandonment of its lore in favor of episodic sky pirates and robot women stories...

And that was just one year, for the game to start lining up rows of sharks to jump, but in the process become potentially the most active western MMO on the market (open debate on who has higher concurrency. WoW has more subs, but GW2 concurrency is insane).

So 5 years for this game? In 1 year it could be anywhere... 5 years - no clue.

If you'd asked me 3 years ago if City of Heroes would be doing well today, I'd have told you not only that, but that based on recent changes... it would be a now growing MMO... and yet it no longer exists...

Some games stagnate. Others completely flip course in ways no one not on the team could have predicted... and maybe even much of the team had no insight on... until it happened.
