FFXI is having a collab with Granblue Fantasy

[SigmaOZ]

I don't think XIV could get anything good from GRANBLUE FANTASY, that's probably why we aren't getting a collaboration event.


I would love to have Lyria's dress and hairstyle but I guess they won't share them easily!.

Considering how quickly WoW Classic servers turn into ghost towns, that's not the best comparison.

also helps that FFXI is still getting new updates and content, unlike WoW Classic were they're literally just copy pasting what they did before with no new added stuff. So in that case it BETTER be same sub if they're not going with the OSRS route and making Classic+

This is probably why FFXI is still running on a sub model but still, would wish they shared FFXIV either way~

So, when is FFXIV? getting another new collab. Last time I played FFXI there was only 10 on the server I was playing on. Why is FFXI getting one when FFXIV makes SE most their money from Subs.

FFXI is allowed cool collabs too

FFXIV has had a few collabs and they'll likely do more or have some of the previous collabs to return again.

The only thing I can recall XIV ever having a collab with that was not another FF game/spinoff and actually a game was PSO2.

So I see bashing on XI is still alive and well from certain people in the community. Charming.

XI continues to be a highly profitable MMO with a dedicated and rather large playerbase and it continues to receive content updates on a regular basis, not just maintenance patches. Not surprising SE is leveraging its name to other games as they've done this before with other mobile games.

If I had to guess by the placement of the names (Granblue x FFXI) then it's mostly likely Granblue will be getting stuff from XI and not vice versa, similar to the recent Nier x FFXIV collab with the phone game. I haven't played Granblue in a while but may give it another go if they're putting XI characters.

Ok buddy, only ten players on a server. Even dead-as-hell (in comparison to overfull Asura) Siren had near 2k players just last year. Don't forget that when XI was the de facto most profitable FF in franchise history, its profits were siphoned off to develop XIV and continued to do so until probably HW when XIV was able to stand on its own feet.

Besides the fact that SE makes most of their money from mobile games with their multiple microtransactions and not XIV.

FFXIV never got it's half of that deal. At this point I doubt anyone really cares enough to demand it anyhow.

Yo-kai Watch, NieR, Dragon Quest (that I know of)

Given that PSO2 NGS has somewhat renewed interest in the game, I could see it being an excuse for them to re-release the collab (With the costumes updated for the better NGS models) and make it available to the western players as well.
