Next expansion hopes

Why not? I don't see any reason for having empty lvls inbetween skills. Heck they could just give us the new skills and traits from the MSQ, and not have lvls at all, the ilvl of the gear is what really counts anyways, the stats you get from lvl ups are puny.

I see what you mean. However, I do like the abilities being bound by level. Gives me something to be excited about when leveling.

"I would like to continue operating Final Fantasy XIV for 10 years," he says. "That's the clear image I have in mind. Now that we've passed our fourth year, we're aiming for that 10-year mark. In terms of how many expansions we'd like to release, it's not clearly determined just yet but if the title is successful, it would be nice to release an expansion every two years or so. We're gradually making preparations to plan for future expansions.

That would leave six years with three expansions.

I like that with 4.0 the skills were not tied to the class quests until the very last one at level 70. It means that I can just level each job from 60 to 70 and then do all the class quests at once and have the cohesive story without breaks. It also means I can use the new skills right away when I level up in a dungeon rather than waiting. Having the last one quest-locked also gives incentive for still doing the quests. I like it.

10 years seems more like a minimal goal when i read him. Lets hop it is just minimal goal,
Else, it would explain some things...

It's a goal for finishing this story. It's got nothing to do with the game itself. Once this story ends, we'll get a NEW story. Maybe travel to a different world, like Warriors of Darkness, and save THEM from the cataclysms?! There's quite a lot of potential stories to be had.

Considering the weirdly in-depth information available to us from the lore book, it's highly likely we'll see them again before the story wraps up.

In terms of the 24 man raid gear/tome gear/pvp gear, etc. casters/healers being the same look but just recolored. Couldn't they shell out to design something more defining?

I wish the ivalice raid gear was at least dyeable if they can't design another look. *sigh*

Guild wars 2 tried not have lvl expansion didn't do well

It never says the game will end after those expansions... it's a rough estimate as to the timeline for the current msq and yoshidas retirement from the game... AT LEAST 2 MORE... level 100 is a good stopping point for a class...hell by then we may be playing ffxx online... and it's not like lack of expansions has shut down ff11
