So, the Final Fantasy XI dev team?

Lol hope the door don't hit you very hard on the way out then :P

You and the 4 people left playing can say stuff like that and high five each other in-game, because there won't be jack else to do.

Righttttttttt since every mmo out has a update every 2 or 3 months? pfffffff ill have fun high five flip and you will be back like all the others

[Akuryu]

but they never gave you a time for 3.1 to begin with. right after the expansion came out, they said that we will have to wait a bit longer than usual till the next big patch

There is a patch cycle in this game. Everyone knows it, and everyone knows this one is late. By your logic 3.1 could come out May 2021 and still be "on time".

You sound a bit burnt out.
Don't force yourself to play, and as soon as you aren't having fun you should unsubscribe.

Personally I'm still having fun and still finding things to do, so.... no unsub for me yet

I really do hope FFXIV can get some extra guys from the XI team. They can work to refine this game or develop new ideas. Also 3.1 arrived really late. The problem with patches here is that the game has really short lived content and needs frequent patches to keep you up. It's not designed with long term contentt in mind but rather with shorter and easier content which updates frequently. 3.1 is really late and from what I saw it didn't impress me much. It is the same even if smaller with the previous patches so the addition time it to arrive didn't bring something special. I know that the team took vacations and so on and they did fine with it but I hope 3.2 will come sooner. I seriously doubt and can't see how Void Ark will keep us for 4 months. It will not. Same with the "islands exploration" thingy. The 2 dungeons will become boring after 1 month of everyday farming. Even those who can't play every day will get bored waiting 4 or more months to play 3.2.

Matsui's crew is likely better off put to assist with Dragon Quest X than ARR.

ARR seems rather put in its ways and not budging from it, adding more developers to that crew won't fix their stringent content development timeline

while i love Soken music....it will be awesome if Naoshi Mizuta composed some songs here and there :3

[Chessala]

I'm sure SE has plenty of projects for the team to work on. As long as they don't try to clone FFXI even more in this game, would be great to get some people that are more advanced in programming!

You do realize that a great majority of the FFXIV ARR team members were originally on the FFXI development team? Also there is a misconception that FFXI is shutting down, it's not - the only things that are ending is the storyline is being wound up and that there will be no new story updates done nor new expansions, and the antiquated PS2 and 360 versions are being terminated. SE will continue to support the game in other ways including bug fixes and the like. Most if not all the current FFXI team members will most likely stay on the FFXI team because they will still be needed.

Actually, he has - the Maelstrom theme Maelstrom Command, the O'ghomarro theme Quick as Silver, Hard as Stone and the Novv's Clutch theme Gluppity-schulp are all credited to Mizuta - I'm not sure if he's done any tracks for Heavensward though.

Nah when a game enter the maintenance phase you know it's a living corpse. Sure the game won't shut down but no more big patches and expansions means most of the team is completely useless. You don't need that many ppl to maintain something. No new features and expansions anymore means no more need for development. Where those people will go only Square knows.
