FFXI new expansion concerns

[KiriA500]

We get an entire new world. I don't see the big deal. I'm happy XI still gets content, even though I don't plan on playing it any time soon (I played it for years, that ship has sailed...was a great time, but I've moved on).

Aah, I stopped reading the ffxi forums when I pretty much stopped playing it. Just heard ppl complain 11 was getting too easy with the way you can get a capped job there now. Even heard the theory they were doing that to get ppl through the content asap because they were going to push 14 and kill 11 in a few years at the most. I can see it going both ways. Abyssea was what killed 11 for most so they were happy to try 14 out. Most ppl I knew from 11 who left it was because of Abyssea. I was just voicing my concerns and concerns I've seen voiced in ls chatter.
Interesting how ppl on FFXI forums think 14 is getting this royal treatment, thx for that info.

^this 100% abyssea is the reason me and my wife quit 11 after 8+yrs along with everyone we knew lol.this is just a marketing scam to get ppl to come back. doesn't really matter to them which game you pick they get the same sub fee from you either way.
I'm not gonna lie to you the new land (outside screenshots) got me interested and i might go back for a month to explore it. The city looked horrible though it's like they are trying to make another WG but its really ugly and looked bare. they concept art of the river city was nice though. Just hope that video was a rough look at the new city. Mainly would go back because i miss my Blu ; ;. only Chance this expansion has is if they add New Endgame events like sea/dynamis/sky in the new land.

I'm not worried really. I mean hell, I know some people who loved FFXI but have no interest in going back even with the expansion.

XIV gets new game engine and server structure, XI gets rehashed zones... who wins?

This. I saw Whitegate, Jugner, and Purgonorgo Isle. Those are "new lands"?

That Foresty area looks way too much like our current Black Shroud...

I'm not worried about that at all.

They have a team working on each game. Juat because ffxi is finally.getting some new content doesnt mean se is paying any more or less attention to ffxiv. Id rather see 2.0 fix the foundation of the game such as UI and server stability and graphic improvements then see new expanded content for now.

People seem to forget that FFXI is its own game with its own fans. As long as FFXI is not F2P, then the players deserve more content. As others have stated, FFXI has its own dev team working on that content. There is no need to assume that any resources are being stripped from FFXIV in order to produce a new expansion for FFXI.

If anything, it's the other way around.

I found out from a friend who's still fully playing 11 that it is getting this new expansion and 2 new jobs. I am concerned that this will be a death nail in 14 2.0. I am not happy that after all this time 11 is getting a new expansion and 2 new jobs. What does this mean for 14? Will this new stuff for 11 compromise 14 in any way?

FFXI has a certain nostaligic feeling to it, but I do think that ast this point 14 has it little following of it´s own. No need to be concerned
