Re: Any sign of an expansion coming soon??

Please use the search function in the future. There's already some great information regarding the upcoming expansion. For example, Hiromichi Tanaka has said himself:

-The third expansion has been in development since work began on Chains of Promathia.
-It will add new jobs, and they are "unlike any jobs currently in-game", according to Tanaka-san.

And, it is rumoured that the content in this new expansion will be available in the Xbox360 Beta, which is scheduled to begin in North America this fall, and a Japanese beta beginning later in the year. Tanaka-san stated that he hopes to have the Xbox360 version of FFXI out in North America before the end of the year.

"Treasures of Aht Urhgan" was recently copywrited by SE. Rumours are that that will be the new expansion, but that's all it is at the moment.

Edit : Should have looked at the link posted first ><

Cbot, once again, has helped the FFXI community and looking incredibly smart while at it. To you, dear sir, I say good job.

Oh and, its pretty possible it will be about the four continents that surround Vana'diel.

East-Chinese/Japanese/Mogolian
South-Egypt/India/Mid-Africa
West-Mexico/South America
North-Gigas?

oh and one more thing... Mithras will probably be a main focus of it(I believe they come from the South/East) and tropical islands. Zilart gave clues about the Kuluu. Promathai did the same to the Mithra, more so than anything else. Then again, there is the bandit lord who is hiding in the West.

I need to get PM done before the next expansion comes out. I love Promathia's story so far though. (Working on PM3.3B atm...I can solo this part but I need to actually get around to doing it.)

How good is final fantasy11

Re: Any sign of an expansion coming soon??

umm.....good

Yeah, another expansion I can buy and have no real reason to have for months until I actually can start and finish the original story line, Zilart, AND CoP.
Really curious what they're gonna do with the new jobs.

The game is very deceiving at start though. It may seem quite dull or like any other MMORPG at start, it shines more once you start getting to the story aspects which happens around lv. 40-50. Before that point though getting subjobs and all the advanced jobs can keep you quite busy before you even reach lv. 40-50, once you get there though and not someone just grinding away at EXP trying to reach 75 asap....then you'll probably be going for the mission or quests more specific around your job that's in that level range in which you'll get some nice back stories to each on what's happening.

Once you get to Rank 5 then Missions with a story of the Nations current state start to begin and entangle you in more story there, at the same time which you can also start learning more about Vana'diel's history through the Zilart Missions. At this same point also you start getting more of Vana'diel progression through Chains of Promethia. Much of this all happening from 30s - 50s and carrying through all the way up to 70s-75s.

On top of all the stories getting better as you go along, there are some great visual art in the game of which beats nearly every other MMORPG. The only other that respectfully can match the visually stunning art is Lineage II, but even Lineage II doesn't have changing weather effects which really is amazing to see.

Oh, also just counting the Quests you can do there is a recorded like 426 quests. Then add in the Missions from the FF11, Zilart, Promethia, and top it off with special holiday moogle events with their trinkets and mini-quests and you are easily breaking over 1,000-2,000 things to do that excludes EXP grinding (and that isn't including crafts and goal of things you can gather there).

Well SE is running dry on CoP, so of course a the next year and a half or so's worth of patches are due out soon

Re: Any sign of an expansion coming soon??

I hope the next expansion isn't capped all the way through. I earned my levels, so why can't I buzz through some BCNMs for some awesome cutscenes and storyline?

[Blood Red Poet]

Re: Any sign of an expansion coming soon??

uncapped BCNMs are pretty easy.

Re: Any sign of an expansion coming soon??

I wonder if there will be some other fundamental changes. Like allowing more than 8 people in a party. Which will then effect the size of max alliances, how much EXP is awarded and the like.

I mean we already have 15 jobs. Yes I would like to have some new jobs, but it just makes competition for a party slot even more difficult.

Will you only need to be Lv.30 to unlock those jobs? Or do you have to Lv.60 to get them. (I'd be more inclined to have the quests at Lv.60, but that's just me.)

Has been there been any real speculation if there will be a level bump? Pushing it to Lv.80? Watch every Mages level RDM to Lv.40 and it becoming the endgame mage sub.
