Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

[Velhart]

FF XI is in the process of shutting down. They are in the process of doing a remake of FFXI as a mobile phone game. Which is something I don't want. I play FFXIV as it is on my PS4. I always wanted FFXI on the PS4 but seems like there not gonna do a complete remake of the game which pisses me of. They do it for FF X, FF 12 why not for FFXI? why rest time on making a remake of FFXI for Mobile phones.

They have said several times as long as FFXI still holds a profit, it will not shut down. Currently it is still a profitable game. The only thing they have said is they dropped the PS2/360 version and there will be no longer any more major expansions. The game will still be up and adjustments will be made when needed. They are even currently in the process of releasing the next big patch. Even offering a welcome home campaign right now. Don't expect the game to go anywhere any time soon.

If anything, you should ask for some major improvements to things like the UI, framerate, resolution, etc. Since the game is PC only, these things are more than possible now.

In the last FFXI AMA on reddit:

Q: "Will you consider doing new expansions and content as long as you have a player base that is paying monthly subscription fees?"

A: "Yes, we will consider this."

Very interesting, guess they changed their minds about the expansion thing. Or do they mean mini-expansions like they did in the past?
