Got bad vibes now... feeling a "the last days announcement."

 

[Ploid 3.0]

All of these themes, hitting me in the feels. Please don't be anything bad, I feel sorry for not subbing still now.

New box art??!!!!!

 

[texhnolyze]

Oh no, are they ending FFXI? >.>

Please no.

They're announcing a new project to end the game?
No way.

 

[threelights]

They're announcing a new project to end the game?
No way.

Let's hope.

 

[Yoshichan]

Wait what the fuck is going on?

 

[Feep]

Cool art right here, though.

 

[KeRaSh]

Vana'diel Project sounds like a community project to run private servers.

Spoiler

I would be totally OK with that...

 

[jiggle]

Last chapter?

 

[duckroll]

It definitely sounds like they're going to announce EOL for FFXI today and the next thing for this setting.

Yup. Final chapter. Ending.

 

[Aeana]

FF11 final chapter @_@

 

[Muskieratboi]

Matsuda was just thanking the players, and will be showing off a lot of things today.

 

[Darryl]

The sky is falling

 

[Shouta]

Final Chapter coming out featuring all the characters from the series. This sounds hella EOL. =(

 

[jfoul]

This feels like a funeral.

 

[Reveirg]

It definitely sounds like they're going to announce EOL for FFXI today and the next thing for this setting.

Yup. Final chapter. Ending.

I'm good with that if it means Vana'diel lives on in another form.

 

[Yoshichan]

ending, huh...? What's it going to be about?

 

[Halabane]

New expansion? Did I hear that right?

 

[Muskieratboi]

New expansion Hitting May!

Will be the final one, however. Grand Finale for the World's Scenario.

 

[TatteredHat]

My childhood is being ended. :'(

 

[docbon]

unleash the tear storm.

 

[Shouta]

3 Big updates in May, August, and November focused on a big ending, however the service isn't going to be ending.

 

[Conrad Link]

I'm so sad.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Crap man

3 Big updates in May, August, and November focused on a big ending, however the service isn't going to be ending.

Ok cool, I don't mind no new content stuff.

Well... That seems good.... For now.

 

[Feep]

"this will not be the end of the service /u/Rolling_Start"

 

[Shouta]

March of 2016, PS2/360 service is ending.

 

[texhnolyze]

Whaaat?
They're actually ending the game?
How come, they still have healthy number of active subscribers, right?

Edit, oh final chapter but not ending the game, good.

 

[Muskieratboi]

This is NOT an EOL announcement. just the final major expansion pack.

 

[Teknoman]

New expansion Hitting May!

Will be the final one, however. Grand Finale for the World's Scenario.

When reading, this theme instantly popped into my mind.

 

[KeRaSh]

Edit: Not EOL, just last expansion.

 

[Conrad Link]

I play on 360! They better give me a PS4 version ffs.

 

[Halabane]

last expansion

 

[Aarglefarg]

Whaaat?

No, they're not ending it now.

 

[lazybones18]

EOL?

don't know what that means

 

[Guess Who]

EOL?

don't know what that means

End of life.

 

[Sandfox]

f2p incoming?

 

[Muskieratboi]

They're killing the PS2 and 360 versions, but will be supporting the PC version for the forseeable future.

 

[30yearsofhurt]

So PS2 support ends March 2016?
Wow...

 

[KojiKnight]

EOL?

don't know what that means

End of Life. And it is an EoL announcement for PS2/360 versions at the very least.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Farewell My PS2 Sweet Prince. The King lived this long, amazing.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Did it say Windows was continuing? I didnt get to translate it in time. I saw end of service for ps2/360 though

 

[Darknight34]

....nooo...

 

[Conrad Link]

FFXI will live forever, in my heart!

 

[Shouta]

Did it say Windows was continuing? I didnt get to translate it in time. I saw end of service for ps2/360 though

Yes, Windows will be continuing service for the time being.

 

[Teknoman]

I'd like to think Windows was the main platform for the game for awhile after CoP anyway.

 

[Conrad Link]

I still have the PS2 version, working on my American PS2 lol.

But I moved to 360 as soon as it came out, PS2 is hard to look at now.

Consoles forever!

 

[jiggle]

I hope this ends with another realm reborn announcement...

I was surprised at people saying it was ending. I'm pretty sure the servers run on a potato and the game just makes money at this point. It is odd to me that they are even announcing something as a "final" anything since why bother putting a definitive end on this.

Also, does mean that PS2 limitations will no longer hold back the game? :3

 

[Zee-Row]

If this game did shut down , couldn't it live on with private servers like phantasy star online did?

 

[KeRaSh]

HOLY SHIT!
