Release FFXI again

[Zenaku]

To do that they have to cancel PS2 which they wont. They can't recode it for the ps3 because it would take too long for that they make a new game for the ps3 which is FFXIV. I think FFXI is dead and just should leave it as it is now there noting else they can do for it.

Agreed. It was fun while it lasted but now it should be left as a good memory. I think if they tried to recreate XI the game would fail more than XIV. Also, if they truly made it a sequel and pushed forward time people would find other reasons not to like it and say "XI was better SE you suck!"

XI had it's sights on the Hardcore player base way too much which is why now the content is so watered down just to survive.

^ What that guy said


Though at this point, I doubt anything they wanted to implement into the game would've mattered... there's no doubt that they had to have fallen behind schedule somehow judging by the state the game has been since release (though as to "why" is still a mystery...)

This thread has my complete approval. FFXI-2 or bust!

in the end, you will need to wait another 8 years or so, for the team to be able to make another MMO.

If they wanted to do this, it could be another project, you know. They wouldn't have to drop FFXI. They wouldn't have to drop FFXIV. They could actually even call the game FFXI-2... hell, they've done it for FFX and FFXIII now, so why not FFXI? The company is huge and has many dev teams, so it would be quite possible to make it parallel.

Now that being said, would I play it? Probably not. And here's the reason.

I would only play it if it could be released before FFXIV gets "fixed". Which just wouldn't happen. FFXIV is already on track to become a great game, and it couldn't possibly take them as long to fix it as it would to make FFXI-2.

Also, from a business standpoint, it wouldn't make any sense. At that point, they'd basically be giving up on FFXIV and would be better off canceling it altogether to make a FFXI-2. And I guarantee you there are a lot of players that wouldn't want that.
