Fun show as usual. I have to say, even though it happened during the show as well, the last 13 seconds of this episode was fantastic. Kudos to who ever threw that in again at the close of the episode. It was like an epic pep talk, right in the middle of my work day.

I understand that FFXI is an older generation MMO now. How long the claimed “we will continue support” will last? I do predict within 9 months SE might cut the servers of FFXI in 1/2 to help save maintenance costs. The real question is how long will SE continue to support their subdivision Play Online? Why make a new Final Fantasy Online when there is so much to be done to FFXI storyboard wise? I do agree that SE made the minimum requirements for FFXIV a bit difficult to swallow. If you don’t have a Gaming PC Tank from the past year then good luck running FFXIV. Not everyone, including myself, wants to play FFXIV, FFXIV requires high PC specs and not to mention a higher subscription fee than it’s predecessor. FFXIV might travel the same road as Ever Quest II — High spec requirements, low population, and tug-o-war with its customer base. If SE decides to pull the plug on FFXI, I will never MMO with SE again. Sega has a problem leaving their online gaming fans high and dry by pulling the plug on their online games. Will SE be next?

Even through all the ups and downs with SE no matter what they are a big part of my life whether they know it or not. I’ve met many people online, and learned a lot about different cultures. If I ever have kids and run out of books to read at bedtime, they’ll hear about Vana’diel. I know they have to have at least 1 big trick up their sleeves for FFXI and I know also that with the awesome community we have that FFXI probly will never die even if ALL the servers go down.

I’ve come to grips with XIV coming, and welcome it (I know this sounds ridiculously dramatic but I’m just using big people words). I have the feeling of a new beginning same as when I finally hit 80 and soon 99 (I play mainly for the story and for the awesome peeps online). I do appreciate SE switching it up and pushing us along with a soft hand instead of an iron fist. Also if the two can coexist in peace, and won’t be overbearing on my wallet I appreciate that also.

All that statement means is that with the title being eight years old, it’s not seeing the “growth” that a MMO would have when it’s new. EQ “reached it’s time” years ago and just like he stated in his interview, as long as there’s a player base still paying for XI they will still develope for XI.

Although it might be kind of nice to have a bundle subscription plan, I wouldn’t count on that just yet.

“So, we would like to keep of them happy, and we will try to introduce some bonus for our customers, probably from a monetary point of view.”

When I read this I thought subscription price reduction for FFXI. But then he said “bonus” and “probably from a monetary point of view”. Trying to interpret anything from SE always gives me a sharp pain in my front right brain area. Perhaps it would make fiscal sense to bundle a price plan, but then what happens to FFXI players that don’t want to play FFXIV? My guess would be an overall price reduction for FFXI and those who want to play both games will still end up paing full for FFXIV.

Or maybe…just maybe, they will have two-for coupons for mules on weekends. Buy one mule get the next one free on Saturdays and Sundays!! Now that’s a bonus!!
