    FFXI is still making money for SE though despite it's extreme age - its community is somewhat small but very very dedicated, to the point SE has hinted that in 2022 there will be "something special" connected to the game that SE will announce then for the game's 20th anniversary (the rumour is a new expansion pack, but given SE have officially wound up the game's storyline I doubt it). Either way, FFXI is in no danger of being shut down, not while it still has players dedicated to it (and a small but dedicated development team).

    I've already said it but I will say it again, SE are highly unlikely to invest in developing a new FF MMORPG - the market for new MMOs had already stagnated, and with the global economy in complete meltdown SE simply are not going to take a risky gamble on a long and costly MMORPG development project that is likely to blow up in their face and bring them crashing down in flames, it happened to them once already with FFXIV 1.0, and unlike ARR which turned things around, there would be no possibility of salvaging such a hypothetical game with a reboot this time.
