I agree with Jynx.

Though it may not be a full expansion, I expect some big guns at PS3 launch to hook new players and give old players a reason to play with them. We'll see, though.

I would totally agree with an expansion pack coming out when the ps3 release hits, I mean it makes sense. SE is going to need something to help people to want to buy their product, and when the ps3 release hits an expansion pack would be the perfect thing.

I mean really when you think about it, with a new expansion, I'm sure social outlets like IGN and Game Informer, etc... will all re-grade SE's work, and once they do, they can kind of throw away the 4.0 they received, and replace it with the hopefully better score they would receive from their expansion pack.

Let's see, when FFXI first came out in Japan, it was basically the same thing that FFXIV is now. They used Japan as a larger Open Beta type ordeal before shipping it around the world. When FFXI first came out it only had THF, WAR, MNK, WHM, RDM, and BLM.... After the first expansion FFXI received a ton of new innovations and classes, for example, BRD BST DRK DRG NIN PLD RNG SAM and SMN... In other words, they basically increased their number of classes by 200%, I see no reason as to why when the ps3 release happens we can't see something close to that effect.

Overall I believe them to be releasing an expansion pack with the ps3 release, it follows how FFXI was raised if you will. I still have a lot of faith in this game, and I think once patch 1.18 hits, we'll see a lot of core changes occur that will allow an expansion pack to be more viable. Besides, it might be nice to release an expansion pack with the ps3 release including all of the content updates we've received thus far, I feel like that would be a nice touch if that was added as well.

Oh yeh defaintly, forgot about that, they will do something for ps3 release to try capture back players. They have to its not really a choice haha.

I do consider myself lucky to some extent, but as its been said - we're basically Beta Testing for the Re-Launch. They really haven't given us anything substantial yet. I mean, they couldn't launch an expansion saying "20 new NMs for level 30 gear!" and "40 Side-Quests that amount to 100k gil and gear you'll throw away!" and "Monsters and Ability Effects 1.5 to 2x bigger!" That's not an expansion.

They're still teasing us with Grand Companies and Dungeons. They'll add those and if its still free, then it will be lucky because I think the game should have launched with basically everything it already has and Companies and some Dungeon content (though that could have come in at around month 2 or 3 and I'd have been satisfied).

The game is on the cusp of what I thought it would be and almost right on schedule - 6 months later. Though still more work to be done on Battle System and whatever else they cryptically and vaguely comment on (jobs & armory, I'm looking at you). It's really time to hammer those systems out and Re-Launch by September (in my opinion) with a finished product, plus additional content (zones, jobs, dungeons, HNM - an expansion worth) and this game will be good to go a year late with re-hooked subscribers.

I really expect fees to kick in around then, too. I'd pay now, but I suspect many wouldn't.

That's my vision, anyway. Still waiting on the developers'. ^^

*** that, I'm not spending more money on this game. Give me content (that should have been in the game before it was released) through updates. I already shelled out $70 for the collectors edition under a year ago.
