... to not set up for future expanding seems stupid to me. I'm hopeful they don't have any teams dedicated to making an expansion (though in the same vein it wouldn't surprise me for them to want to make us pay for content in the near future to recover some of their losses).

It's not like we expect it on the shelves tomorrow.

Also @ Lerris - New skills typically DO mean expansion if you use XI as a reference. No job was ever added spontaneously in a patch. So if they add a boat load of content for PS3 launch including zones, missions, new skills (classes). That's pretty much a content of an expansion for free in the "FF" meaning of the word. XIV could change that meaning of course but that remains to be seen.
