Will you be back?

[ReptarSwag]

Of course, it's a complete reboot.

[Ayanne]

I will definitely be back, no matter how long it takes, in the meantime I shall just play FFXI.

[Tsubarta]

I'll be honest. While I don't usually allow myself to be swooned by CGI because it's normally not indicative of gameplay, the End of an Era trailer has solidified my interest, and no matter what games come out between now and then, I WILL return, as I'm sure many others will.

I love lore, but am ultimately very hard to impress or excite. Even with my jaded sensibilities, I got pretty inspired by that trailer, so I know what you mean. I'm interested to see where they go with the momentum they've built up if nothing else.

The fact that everyone that ever purchased the game will get at least a free month is a good reason why this thread has no reason to even exist.

[Inaaca]

Oh yeah, I'll be back. I would have stopped playing a long time ago if I wasn't planning to come back for ARR.

The downtime just gives the game a chance to ripen fully before release.

[Punainen]

100% I will be back, and the downtime will only make me hungrier for it.

[Loony_BoB]

100%, I will be back unless circumstances don't allow it (death, injury, financial disaster, etc).

[Relleum]

Definitely, unless something IRL happens. Would be dumb to stick with the game this long and quit before it got to the good part.

[Ozak]

Doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll 100% be back come ARR!! I can't wait!! ^^

[Etheos]

Speaking objectively, what is the likelihood you will be back in ARR?

How much of a factor is the downtime going to play?

I'm expecting to loose at least 30% of my friends on Excal to this transitional phase.

I will be back for sure. I cannot wait to return!
