Expansion pack....when?!

[Jynx]

I'll happily take your money.

New classes/jobs do not imply an expansion pack, and a new class/job system is forthcoming.

An expansion at this time makes little sense. The core areas have not yet been completed.

SE would be stupid to release the PS3 version when the games "Core areas" have not been completed yet, and probably a few months after they find it to be deemed "Worthy of release"

Not releasing the PS3 version as a form of expansion is dooming them to loose out on a large portion of potential customers...why is that? What will people see when they hear FFXIV is releasing on the PS3? Lets roll through some of the possible situations a consumer may think of.

1.Finally gonna get get this game right now! been following the updates and it looks/sounds like it's ready for purchase
2.WTF there is a FFXIV I didn't hear about this.
3.Sounds cool, lets see how the PC version of it fared in review....WTF! Why would I buy a port of a 4.0 game!

SE needs to draw massive ammounts of media attention with the PS3 release or risk being passed by with lack of attention and the brutal release reviews lingering on the release. SE would be signing the games death warant if they didn't release the PS3 version as a expansion pack.

Will they charge PC users for the expansion pack is another question. It would be a good form of "thanks for sticking with us while we worked shit out guys" if they let us upgrade to the new version for free.

and you got 1year of F2P which come to a 155.40$ take off your 70$ that 85$ of F2P we sure are lucky huh

Lol nobody will play this game for a year, even for free.

When are they going to release expansion packs?

When the game is in a position where it can be financially successful, no sooner.

I can't see the relation between Summoner/Samurai and an expansion pack. Unless it's "Re-rise of The Zilart"... And what the people above me posted: should not add content until the existing one is working as it should.

Well, We do have Kan-E-Senna and E-Sumi-Yan...They totally give off a Zilart vibe with the naming schemes. >_> For all we know they could conquer the Black Shroud!

"Storm over Gridania" and whatnot,

oh sweet, a year of ftp on a game i wasn't playing until recently because it got quite boring quickly. thanks!

i was pretty disappointed when this game launched and didn't have the content i had hoped it would have. hopefully in a couple months this game will have some stuff in it that will make me want to pay, but it's not there yet unfortunately.

You don't have to be rude everyone knew what they was signing we knew we was not going to get anything new from Open beta --> Release. The game have lot's of work yes and i don't even play that much. The game for me just not does meet to FFXI so far it seem to becoming a wow clone with dungeons even yoshi-p said it be somewhat like other mmo dungeon so i don't know how i feel about that

only time would tell >O

......but Im tired of waiting! My conjurer is at lvl 30 right now. I want Ishgard! I want my chocobo! I want airships!! aaaargh!!

Im pretty sure that they will release an expansion by the end of the year. Why? Because they need money and we need content so.....yeah! (personal opinion btw)
