We need ffxiv to help save ffxi

Thank for the explanation. ff11 did have a lot of jobs... IMO seems a bit overwhelming reminds of ffX-2 with the dress-spheres..yea its options but many of the jobs were not very effective- dark knight was the strongest..I just got all 3 characters to high level dark knight and the game was a breeze.

If they are indeed moving more resources to ff14 than I'm all for it.

I think you have some massive misinformation. In 2016 they are shutting down PS2 and XBOX support. It will be shutdown in the future after (last expansion iirc?)
Either way, RIP FF11 may nostalgia rest in peace.

I'm not worried about them shutting down the pc version which isiwhat I play, and can still play for some time. I just would be happy if they would add more new content

I say this as an old ffxi hardcore player, so it hurts, but there's a time when you have to let a MMO die, now if the petition were to turn it into a single player, or client based multiplayer, i would gladly sign it.

^ Best said here. I've been with XI since release to 2014, so yeah, it hurts, and I miss it everyday. Even if you were able to get them to make content for another few years, it still going to fade away at some point.

Yes, I saw the cell phone thing, would play it for sure that way. If people haven't noticed SE is starting to make massive pushes in Mobile Departments. Don't be surprised to see things like Bravely Default Android etc... in the near future. FF: Explorers would be awesome to have as a mobile game as well. (This may be the approach they take with FF:11)

Please make it Free-to-play! It could boost up some people in the game.
It's better than shutting the servers down completely but I think F2P with CS
and bla bla would probably help. I'd try it if it's F2P.

i read somewhere they are porting XI to mobile devices where you can do stuff together with friends on a small scale in the world of Vana'diel, not MMORPG scale though.

In the Japanese market mobile games are huge. PSVita, Nintendo DS, huuuuge in Japan. Mobile devices today are as powerful as pc's were 8-12 years ago. I look forward to see how this mobile version of vanadiel will turn out.

Phantasy Star Online 2 is another huge game in Japan that has a PC version that cross platforms with a PS Vita version and theres also a smart phone version of the game thats stand alone more or less a single player version of the game.

A petition isn't going to help.. MMOs need renevue to run, so the best way to "vote" for one's continuation is to make sure there are lots of players still paying for it.. If you no longer have that, of course expansions will stop.

yoshi-P even said this game is a copy of WoW. WoW was his favorite MMO. He wanted to introduce it to Japanese players. Basically, Yoshi-P's entire plan was to use FFXIV as a huge advertisement for World of Warcraft. /shrug
