HD update for FFXI

[Onidemon]

I see a lot of remake of games (like Shadow of the Colosus) in HD. Can we hope to have a remake of FFXi in HD? If yes, is that enough to get you back?

Why not talk about this in the FFXI forum? Why would you start a thread about another game in FFXIV's forums? You could at least talk about something constructive and not try to lure back the few remaining FFXIV players.

Just play the Xbox 360 version, that's the best this game is ever going to look.

PC looks better than 360 as long as you are using Windower. But you shouldn't do that since it's against ToS

I don't see them making an HD update anytime soon, especially when they don't have the manpower to add new zones or even new abyssea zones! People were asking for those things on the FFXI forums and they said "no plans!" lol...

They have the man power, the game itself is at it's zone cap memory wise. They can add a few new unique zones but not enough to justify their creation to be honest.

I say that out of speculation because at one point, people were asking for a new weapon type and they replied "no, because that would require the the same effort as making an entire new expansion". xD I read a lot of FFXI fansite news, listen to a few FFXI podcasts, and log in to play once in a blue moon, and it seems like most players really want new zones. They haven't gotten any new (and by new I mean completely unique and not reskinned) zones (that weren't already in the dats) since Wings of the Goddess. Now that they are rehashing old content, people still complain that it's not "new".

Pretty graphics or not, it's still forced party grinding. No, thanks.

My time for FFXI has come and gone. Amazing game but I don't think I could redo everything I did.

Being anti-social in an Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, nice...

It's not even "forced", you just can't take on the world by yourself like these new MMOs seem to cater to.

What are you talking about? During the time I played (2004-2008) you couldn't wipe your nose without a party.

New MMOs give you choices. You can solo when you want to solo, and party when you want to party. What's wrong with that? Why does having the choice automatically translate into everyone will just solo? That isn't the case.

I love running dungeons in other MMOs with groups, raiding with my guild, then doing some solo rep grinding, or questing, or whatever I feel like. I have choices. I'm not forced to grind with a full party of six to get anywhere.
