First Expansion "Rebirth" at PS3 Release and Monthly Fees.

[Xatsh]

It all depends on what Yoshi is doing with his dev team, they announced in a prior interview in 2010 the FFXIV team was around 100 people strong. 100 people would not be able to do 1 thing, because it would be like 10 people working and 90 ppl watching them work.

If Yoshi is doing it right he has the team divided. And more content should already be in development, new mobs in development, new quest, missions, ect.

There is a chance that their might be new zones already finished, but nothing to do in them so they have not been released.

Releasing the PS3 with anything less then a polished expansion is going to be dancing on the edge of a cliff. The PS3 players and Reviewers when they rereview need to be wowed for this game to succeed. Reviewers need to say stuff like "Potentially the biggest recovery in mmo history" or "The most fun I have had in a mmo in years, what a comeback" or SE getting any PC non ffxi fans back is just not going to happen.

The PS3 version cannot be good, it has to be the best thing SE released in years for the recovery to work.

This gives me hope, I bet they have something in thier back pocket. I don't fully understand how a 100 person programming team operates, but your right, they have to have a sub-team just working on long term content, even if its like 1 pale, skinny japanese guy writting lines of code in a dark room. "Write Koji, write or no noodle soup for you today!"
