Just because a job is called Necromancer doesnt mean that they will only be good during the night and control the armies of the undead.... Do you seriously think that SE can't make something else outta the job.. (Anyone who points out PUP will be slapped w/o hesitation...)


As I said in my previous post, some of these jobs are intended to be subbed. They supposedly enhance the abilities of the main job, moreso than the "standard" subjobs that people use now.. SE musta got sick of ppl subbing the same Subjobs over and over again... How many times do you see THF subbing WAR now-a-days, or whatever... It does happen, just not that often.


As for the comment about the level cap being raised to 150, I think that was sarcasm.


I could list what I "hope" they put into the game, but that would be pointless speculation - I'd prefer to wait untill we have more info. The post I made before, to the best of my knowledge, was translated from the JP site. I was simply relaying it to you all. Act on it as you will.

For all of you posting information about what this new expansion will contain, how about not wasting our time unless you can prove it to us? Telling me that such-and-such job will be in it, or that the level cap will raise to 150 (it will not, shut up) is just bogus, unless you show me exactly where you got your information.

I highly doubt we'll see any new tanking jobs, if there will be any new jobs at all. The reason? SE loves Pld, and so do the Japanese. Consider what they've done to bolster Pld and gimp Nin. You think they'd do all that, only to turn around and introduce a new tank? Not likely. I wouldn't be surprised if they do make some more mage jobs though, that seems fairly likely, considering what they're showing on their new site.

I truly, truly hope we can count on some content for the average person. I'm a 75Rdm with my own linkshell, and we're just a hodgepodge assembly of casual players. I don't even have the time to join any sort of an HNMLS, so anything requiring large groups is completely out of the question for me. How about raising the level cap on NPC's to 75? I'd like to see them finish up or pay more attention to the things they've introduced in the past before they make more content to make people forget about the older content.

As for a new, massively-scaled battle arena or system, sadly, I think that's inevitable. Why sadly? Well, consider what the average Besieged does. You think they're gonna scale back the difficulty of Besieged? Not likely. So when they add more massive-grouping content, who is going to fight in Besieged? You can count on Al Zahbi being overrun almost every time.

I don't mean to sound crabby, I'm actually very happy to see a new expansion pack coming out. I found myself wondering just the other week when we'd see a new expansion. I just hope that the new expansion isn't something impossibly difficult for your average player. End-game content is necessary, but personally, I'd like to see some areas I can go to, too.

Sorry double messaga

In FFXI:WotG, the level cap is being raised to 150.

i think it ties in with the initial intro of ffxi i see a major battle comming and tons of mayhem

Dear SE,

If we are going back and forth in time, can I please please pretty please bring some of the currency of the era back to the future?

Thank you.

I'd love two see a new Avatar, something that looks dragon would be cool or a large castle like abomination.

And now for some theories. Assuming the images after the fuzzy glitch thing are the zones as they looked during the great war, why is there a comet in the background of each picture? My guess is that comet is how we will be able to reach said 'time zones' Picture a lobby like zone, such as the entrance lobbies inside each of the crags before entering a Promyvion, except they connect to multiple zones. But I think (or maybe hope is a better word) that the different 'time zones' would be locked and accessed through completion of initial zones. Perhaps you would have to clear a mission in 'Old Sarutabaruta' before gaining access to 'Old Sauromugue Champaign'. Personally, I'm hoping for a more structured mission type expansion with major story, like CoP, but without the uber high difficulty.

Also, perhaps there will be beseiged-like battles in the historic versions of the home nations. I know I'd enjoy defending Windurst from the Yagudo and seeing the 'forbidden magic' being unleashed by karaha-baruha. ^.^

I went on the POL site this morning hoping for news about the June update, and at first glance I was like

"Pfft, this has nothing to do with the June update! ><"

Than I took a closer look and I almost fell over my chair.

Interesting thing is, I'v noticed whenever they've been asked about another expansion after TOAU, they get all weesly and aviod the subject and just say 'as long as people play the game we'll make content'.

I always thought they avoided the question because they had no plan for a future axpansion, not because they were about to announce one :)

I guess, I'll never stop playing this :\

It seems fairly obvious that it's showing flashbacks to the Crystal War, it shows Batallia, Sauro, Saruta and one area I can't really identify with fortifications for war. Either that or a new war is brewing and it's going to change pre-existing zones? ( I seriously doubt that) I've always had the idea that they should add more Dynamis-Esque areas where instead of being in the city it takes you back just before the city is taken over and you can walk around the town etc and then go out and defend the starting areas along with the army against a beastmen invasion. I guess maybe that's what they're going for here? Though it seems to be on a much larger scale, it seems like it will be interesting either way. I just hope these zones are not all rehashes and we get some totally new areas as well. I was more looking forward to them opening the far east so they could maybe get to the west before they stop making expansions but oh well guess that won't happen XD Here's hoping for the best. Also, I do not see new jobs being added, It goes Job/System update/ many area expansion > Story/Content/Expand on existing area > Recycle, ToAU was Job/System/Many area so this will likely be Story/Content/Expand. Hopefully we get one more after this at least, I want to see the far east.

GUNBLADES, ive been wanting gunblades in the game since they announced CoP.

i still believe this game has atleast 3 more years on it. and SE might squeeze out 1 more expansion before then. perhaps also, a ps3 version?? i have the ps2 version on the ps3, and all it did was make it look slighty better.

and to go way out on a limb.... ancient armor/weapons???

time mage anyone? this expansion is all about time, it has to :)
