FF11 mobile cancelled?

FFXIV kinda IS a XI remake... it has like 90% of the enemy models from XI. It has the same focus on great cutscenes, and the same tendency to introduce complex side content that becomes irrelevant and abandoned a year later.

What content lasted a year in FFXI? And I cannot think of any content in ffxi that became irrelevant in a year. Sky still had best in slot gear, 8yrs after it released.

My Guild right until Abysea launched had 2 nights dedicated to content released in expansion 1, did weekly rotations of content released in expansions 1/2/3/4, camped rare mobs from all expansions, Did Salvage/Assault in lower man group. Ran instanced boss fights from 4 expansions. Pretty much everything in ffxi lasted for 5+yrs. Outside the fact both had good Stories FFXI was the polar opposite of ffxiv in design mentality. Was all about longevity, content not replacing content, Guilds were the center point of endgame, really complex systems, really strong economy (money bought power in ffxi not just glamour), unique jobs, dangerous world, unique stats/huge amounts of horizontal growth, no level increases. Outside some character models there is nothing in ffxiv that is really like ffxi. Even Eureka which people say is like ffxi is closest to dumbed down Abysea which is what drastically changed ffxi and what killed off the majority of guilds in the games.

I wouldn't mind seeing a remake somewhere down the line as a single player game to keep the story around for people to enjoy. I remember it being more than passable but it has been a really really long time so it might just be nostalgia.

I could picture it working pretty well like that. Character creator, choose your voice, and then go through the storylines. Though they'd probably have to add an overarching plot, make the trusts (at least some of them) into actual party members, and prevent you from going to some areas before story unlocks them. Would be a different beast than the MMO tbh, but the story if done right could be easily ripped from the MMO.

No surprise. It was stuck in 3rd party, Nexon, development limbo.

I would be very down for that.
I'm interested in playing FF11 for the story, but not enough to slog through a game that grindy, and pay both monthly and for each expac.

I think they may be done selling expacs.

I'd play a remake/remaster. PUP was so good. Apart from the slow battle system it has so much depth XIV can only dream of.

I know right. Yoshi P did mention PUP is a contender for a limited job but seeing as Blu may become a full job (Strong maybe) then we may see an end to limited jobs as it just didn’t go over well. Or maybe just for BLU since it’s so popular in the franchise. PUP is unique and quirky. That’s why it was so adored in FFXI by many. Just not as popular as BLU. Guess we will see. I’d play it even if it was limited.

Good, mobile gaming isn't that great, I wish they would use these ressources for the proper PC remastered version

This is one of the problems with final fantasy having MMOs as numbered titles. Can’t easily remaster them or resell them. In twenty years time there’s probably versions of all Final Fantasy available except 11 and 14.

I was looking forward to this title too due to promised of improved game play and touched up graphics. I really wish they would have updated the UI in FFXI to reflect modern gaming. The biggest thing that makes me not want to play FFXI is the over use of menus and macros.
