FFXI stuff

[Chill Man]

For anyone who missed the stream Square is doing, FFXI will be cancelled on PS2 and Xbox in one year. PC service will continue.

 

Additionally, Square is making a mobile game based on the story of FFXI. Their way of immortalizing it as part of the series, I suppose. Nexon will be doing development of the game. Make of that what you will.

 

A live update thread on reddit that briefly includes the details can be found here.

Wow. End of an era! I played the game fully on the PC (I could never figure out how to work it on PS2) but even I can see that this marks the end of one of the more defining periods in MMO history. Sure, PC will still run but that will still cut down a large population of Vanadiel!

OMG! Really!? Is it gonna be only the base game or incl. the addons? Cause they were amazing!

If they could do that for FF14 1.0, it would be great as well.

 

I read the news earlier, saying that there will be 3 more huge update (including some FATE update) but nothing more, even though I never played FF11, it kinda made me sad.
