I hate to say this, but I will have to. FFXI had expension, many of them actually. In fact they had their first 1 right after 1 year release. The gear formula was pretty much the same, but how to obtain the gear, the raids got different and some were easier, some harder. I wasn't completely the same. 24 man raids we seen and the mechanics are pretty much same and the very very same focus on the content, we would want something different at some point. Diadem just ended up being a fate instance instead. The game needs something thats new for those who cares, which there is many of, those who don't care, can just stick with the old stuff I guess.
