Typical clickbait title. He didn't really bring anything new to the table, not to mention he hasn't played ffxi since xiv came out.

FFXI Battle Royale mode.

New expansion to the far east, new jobs time mage and chemist.

Actually read the article.
“Yoshida himself says that there’s no expansion planned for Final Fantasy XI, after all, the end of FFXI’s story did conclude with Rhapsodies of Vana’diel in November of 2015. The game has continued operation since, with minor version updates adding content such as new battlefields. One has to wonder, since they’re not doing an expansion, if they would consider adding more add-on scenarios?”

So basically add on’s similar to what they had a long *** time ago. Not bad no new jobs since that was stated months ago because there’s no need as they put it.

Is it always cold where he is? Every video I’m finding is him and that leprechaun beanie.

Facts. This is what he meant.

Sorry but my sources are trustworthy

If NA people are aware of it it may actually happen.

They are usually aware of what's gonna happen right before players are.

I see I guess I shall never watch the Japanese dev stream again! Those damn liars! But I assume you also mean this article isn’t trustworthy hence I quoted from the article.

Nyarlko's post in BG in August suggests the fan event being something big.

hope they announce a ui overhaul and a drop with playonline

Is anyone able to translate the images with the merch? I'm mostly trying to figure out what the things with all of the jobs are. If they are pins, or stickers or what.

Doubt they will add new jobs this late in the game. There's just too much to balance with job-specific equipment and roles. Mini expansions that fill in the story would be nice. It'd also be cool if there were more job lore quests similar to FFXIV's job quests. There were some loose ends in the FFXI job quests after the AF quests that I wished they would fill in. In all likelihood it will feature main characters and focus on rebuilding Vana'diel after everything that's happened and how all the kingdoms are connecting and stuff.

pins.

缶バッジコレクションオリジナルジョブセット = pin collection "original job set"

バッジコレクション拡張ディスクジョブセット = pin collection "expansion disk job set"

Reading the comments gave me brain cancer.

I must see this.

its full of ppl that sniffed way to much bushin.

I agree... the switch really? Merge 14 and 11?

Why would you watch any much less one or multiple?

The expansion pack makes every item in the game glows...for that REMA feel !

I must understand the green *** beanie!!!!

Probably going to reveal the mobile version of XI and celebrate the continued success of XI over the years, and then fun photos of RL subligars hitting twitter, even though I think they're hand towels?

I am legit jelly of the real aketons, and would love more information about those. Reminds me of how classy the nation rings used to be.

The last "something big" was "lul games over gg" so...

MNK UPDATE!

That was in Aug this is now...


To negan:monk make monk great again

Well, in this case, we know they have the mobile version in the works, so it does seem logical that having that ramping up for launch is likely. Holding a fanfest is likely a good way to get some attention for it.

What I'd suspect more on the PC side is maybe seeing them start on giving the game a facelift. Figure, they may have updated assets made for the mobile version they could drop in. Maybe work on doing HD type textures as we've been seeing as mods. Considering the progress we've seen people making all on their own, seeing SE update the entire game like that over the course of a year doesn't seem unreasonable.

It'd be nice to see them actually update the core game engine and the like, but it seems unlikely. Still, I'd put that stuff before a full expansion.

Can we stop for a moment and address the fact that they are selling Subligers?

EDIT: Hand towels... damn... I wanted to see some folks buy actual Subligers...
