How would you guys like a FFXI expansion

[DarkRain]

Shantotto has already made her presents in Eorzea once. And we have no idea how big this world is only that were on a continent . So it would be really cool I think to see all of Vanadiel in 1080/4k HD graphics . Doing hunts or fates with Dunes Emperor or Leaping Lizzy . Story could be about restoring the Craigs because the great war destroyed them all. Just thought it be neat sometime down the road. People who never played 11 can YouTube things about 11 to get an idea of areas and cities .

Guess I just feel nostalgic today

If they do anything ffxi related I'd rather it be a throwback type of content rather than a full expansion. Maybe the 24 man raid be based on dynamis or promyvion. Something like that.

This. SO MUCH THIS. I don't want FFXI again. I retired from that game. I just want content that's a throwback to the days of yore lol. Dynamis 24man raid would be more than okay with me, or Promvion - Vahzl. Even assault or something that requires 24man.

As far as I'm aware they still have PC access for that game. Is it HD/4kHD? No, but you could probably run XI's settings at max across the board with a machine that does XIV's and be at around 720p.

Vana'diel and Hydaelyn are not the same world. Shantotto is capable of traversing dimensions due to the magic she learned in 'A Shantotto Ascension.'

^This. The development team already came out long ago and stated that Vana'diel and Hydaelyn are separate worlds which are not connected (Shantotto and Iroha's appearances in Hydaelyn being the result of trans-dimensional hi-jinks that are exceptional circumstances, not the rule):

Q: A lot of names from Ivalice have been mentioned such as Dalmasca, Belias, and Zodiak. Is there some kind of connection between Hydaelyn and Ivalice?
A: Maehiro: To be absolutely clear, there is no direct connection between FFXIV’s Hydaelyn and FFXII’s Ivalice or even FFXI’s Vana’diel. They are not the same world in different dimensions or time—they are their own separate worlds. However, there are certain connections to people or objects that appear in these other worlds that figure into the story of FFXIV as it has been conceived and is being told.

Yoshida: We’ll be revealing more as we move forward.

Of course we're now getting an 'Ivalice-themed' raid in Stormblood, but again that is almost definetely not going to be the Ivalice somehow plonked into Hydaelyn, it will be a Hydaelyn-lore-based area which happens to reference FFXII/Ivalice in theme and enemies like the Crystal Tower not being literally the FFIII final dungeon but an Allagan structure (and Xande not being the FFIII antagonist but the Allag Empire's former emperor). Hence I do not see a 'FFXI-themed' expansion ever being added.

FFXIV already takes tons of ideas from FFXI anyway (player races, beastmen, numerous enemies like crawlers, mandragoras, goobbues and dhalmels etc), so it makes even less sense to make a FFXI-centric expansion. FFXIV will never be FFXI-2, it's time to accept that.

We do know how big this world is, though - we've got three major continents, basically: Aldenard (thats the one Eorzea is on), Isalbard and Othard (thats where we're heading). On top of that there are a few islands aswell as Meracydia (second large landmass) and The New World (third large landmass). Just because we dont see those ingame yet, doesnt mean they dont exists in the games lore.
Vanadiel, as you can see, isnt mentioned - and I dont want them to pull out a whole new continent all out of sudden.

FFXIV is FFXIV and FFXI is FFXI - I understand nostalgia, but the tradition of the series was always to keep the worlds seperated. I dont mind all those little refrences, I rather enjoy them! (even if I might not get all) But I'd rather have them create original content for this game instead of recylcing FFXI.

[Belhi]

I would prefer the games be kept separate. That isn't an issue with FFXI but let them be separate worlds with their own stories rather than trying to force them together.

[YakushiHinata]

As cool at it sounds, I'd want them to stay seperate with their own good story and lore.
Though if I'll humour your idea a little, Chains of Promathia in XIV? Yes please!

[Khaoticsuccubus]

Gonna have to give this a big meh.

Though it did remind me, whatever happened to whats her face? The lady from the ffxi event that was like celebrating the end of xi's story or something?

She was kinda like a samurai but with a naginata? Don't think she ever went back to 11's world. Does that mean she's still wandering 14's? Wonder if they'll bring her back for something eventually.
