FFXI is having a collab with Granblue Fantasy

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.

As an actual NGS player since close to launch, there's not. 80-90% of the blocks on Ship 2 are dead all day and people are getting drip fed content. All of the people I originally played with have retreated back to base PSO2 or are off on other games.

I hate myself for missing the FFXI collab with FFXIV. I heard the whole storyline with Iroha from the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel got its conclusion there with her coming to Eorzea.

It's happened 3 times. It might come back.

FFXI desperately needs a remake but it won't ever happen. The one time they did try remaking it they killed thet project like 2 years into development after sharing practically no info about the game in general beyond a handful of early screenshots. Still though it's cool this game still gets its own events.

It wasn't a remake, it was a mobile game set in the same world and was being done by an outside studio. SE didn't really have much to do with it and it was that outside studio that scrapped it along with a lot of other projects. They do keep saying that there is some big announcement this year, but its doubtful a remake.

Which is sad since there is still much more to do in xi than xiv and most of it is much more enjoyable and rewarding. The battle system is just too slow for most players coupled with the dated graphics and the complete lack of handholding, it just makes it a very niche game.

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.

Also hilariously untrue. As someone who has had a xi sub since 2005, this has never been the case, and in fact, xi still has thousands of ppl online per server at any given time. Which is also why they are getting more battle and story content on a monthly basis and yet another piece of new endgame content was already announced. I swear ppl just love to make things up

doing a collab with a dead game instead of XIV? what a waste... well I guess the 5 people who are still playing XI are going to enjoy it

Granblue Fantasy is dead maybe. The other side of your comment is ignorant.

Weird choice of collabs for their age..but not really otherwise. I was actually surprised Granblue WASN’T actually a final fantasy spinoff with how incredibly same-y it is. Not that it’s bad, but it really should have just been FF the anime.

I can confirm ffxi has more than that besides ffxiv has ons of cross overs and events doesn't hurt ffxi to get some love also why does this thread suddenly taste so salty.

FFXI and FFXIII

Man I miss doing the Shantotto FATE

Was trying to name non-FF collabs but if we included all collabs then yeah.

[Annihilism]

I'd still play FF11 over the P2W mess that is LA, I hate old school MMOs but I hate devs that don't respect your time much much more. I'm sad that I missed out on the FF14xFF11 collab event.

Rumors say a return of Garo collab.

It was mentioned in a Live Letter that they'd like to rerun it in some form, but it's up to Garo's owners if they'd be allowed to do it.

I actually think a Granblue crossover for FFXIV would've been really cool.
A lot of the gear in that game could fit right into FFXIV quite easily imo.
