I'm amazed to be seeing such a big update this far in to the games life cycle! Will this entice any previous FFXI players to go back and play this?

I may get this once I get more money or something, then again I actually need to get to the higher levels. I've been slacking a lot by not utilizing that free 30 day trial and playing to my fullest.

I too, wouldn't have imagined them making such a large update with XIV coming out shortly.

I believe the update is intended to tide PS3 players over until march, and allow people who's PCs wont play XIV to still play a FF MMO.

I feel that its resources that could have been better applied to XIV... but I'm selfish that way.

That's a good thought process Takhimar, but I do wonder why exactly FFXI is on Tokyo Game Show's listing for Square-Enix.

Yeah players are happy with the new directors as the are listening to the players. The game seems to have gotten alot of new players and I'm glad its gaining some steam. Honestly ff11 will be here as long if not longer than 14.

I grabbed the new expansion with eager, yet grubby, mitts. Popped the new Limit Break and am current working through some Magian Axe Trials. I tend to go more slowly, but you can grab 30-40k xp an hour in Abyssea alliances if you so choose.

There's another Abyssea expansion due at the end of 2010 / start 2011. Good times.
