Anyone Else Excited For New Expansions?

I am in the same boat, I would pay full price for the first expansion, SE has lost about £100 off me alone so far for the free gameplay, but there will always be people that feel cheated.

Yeah, and for those that feel cheated.. all i can say.

Curiosity kills the.. ermm. cat. ;-; why does it have to be cat?

It would be logical to release the first expansion with the ps3 version imo, it would give people an extra incentive to buy it, whilst potentially enraging PC players who say they stuck with the game but have to pay for the expansion while the ps3 noobs get it with thier copy.

But I beleave it would be a good move for SE.

No it wouldn't. It would be disastrous because it means players would have another hurdle to buy in the face of buying a game that was terrible at launch. There is not enough consumer confidence to do something like this with the title.

Square has to reestablish their competency and player trust before anything like this would happen.

Which is why the PS3 version should be released bundled with the expansion, didnt mention that because I didnt think i needed to because I mentioned people thinking they were being cheated.

If they do this it will show people how much has been done, and that it is ready for re-release because it has another expansion, the only people who will be paying are the people who have been playing for months before and know what the game is like.

Bundling an expansion with the ps3 version will show that they have already lost alot of money but they are willing to loose more from the loss of most of the expansion sales.

I'm tempted to believe they might actually release an expansion with the PS3 and at the same time provide it for free to the PC as the final freebie.

Hmmm possible, but I dont know if they will, and if they do they might only give it to people who have had an active account for say 4 months which would require a bit of work, but lets see how it goes.

I see where you are going with this. It would be better to release an expansion a little after PS3 release. PS3 release itself would be the second/last chance SE has to make a good impression of the game. Console Release = New Reviews.

I want them to release Chains of Promathia for FFXIV.
Likely the new expansion, when it comes out, will simply add the new regions on the map that we can see but not visit yet.

Consider an expansion date measured in years.

In the famitsu article he claimed it took them 6 months minimum to create one set of gear. Mind boggling, I know, but it should reassure you that this game is slooooooooooooooooooooooooow development.

I mostly just want a pretty tropical area ; ; all the other ideas sound like fun though. I just like seeing green areas with lots of flowers. A tropical area with huge flowers and a jungle with some ruins and villages would be fun. (Although I'm afraid I mostly just described Kazham.)

I'd take that...just less maze-ish and with more ruins.
