FFXI new expansion concerns

[Eliseus]

Need to get over w/e is being released in FFXI. Not only is it not going to be the "death" of 14 but they aren't going to stop making content for 11 just to try and hope 11 will die and all of them will go to 14.

[Alhanelem]

I found out from a friend who's still fully playing 11 that it is getting this new expansion and 2 new jobs. I am concerned that this will be a death nail in 14 2.0. I am not happy that after all this time 11 is getting a new expansion and 2 new jobs. What does this mean for 14? Will this new stuff for 11 compromise 14 in any way?

Why would a new expansion for FFXI that isn't coming out anywhere near the time that ffxiv is be a death nail for it?

It's not even being released for the PS2 outside of Japan. It's not going to be a big deal.

They aren't going to kill off either of their games. People that wish to keep playing FFXI deserve new content just as much as we do.

Thanks for the responses, I'll let the ls's that were talking about nothing else know your input. Maybe they'll stop talking about it.

FFXI has a certain nostaligic feeling to it, but I do think that ast this point 14 has it little following of it´s own. No need to be concerned

yup its gonna be the most lamest of nostaligic. fighiing crabs in the dunes once again. oh and more crabs till lvl 50 till you abyssea your ass off till lvl 99. thats FFXI today nothing is gonna change that

Theres like 30 people that play on each server in ffxi lol

my 3ds has better resolution than ffxi lol

nothing to worry about

obvious cashgrab is obvious

Not sure if serious

FF11's got about 300k subscribers and earns SE about 50 million dollars a year.

Hey Folks!

We can understand the concern that people have over one game getting some attention over another. As many people have stated, we do have separate development teams for many of our projects. During crunch time, they may borrow folks from one team to the other, but you can be sure that FINAL FANTASY XIV still is moving forward. =)

I am going to go ahead and lock this thread as the concern has been addressed by our loyal community.

Thanks again!
