With the new MMO coming out, I expect Final Fantasy XI won't be getting anywhere near as much attention as it currently does. Sure, the new MMO won't be out for quite some time yet, but, as Yearg pointed out, at SE's current rate of expansion, the new game will come out long before this all becomes available. I just think it's a shame that a majority of this will just become unrealized potential.

Here's to wishing for an offline game taking place in FFXI universe! A world that huge would put any other to shame.
