You should never count Final Fantasy 11 out, as hopes for new areas emerge out of a recent dev livestream

Forever ignoring the last successful Final Fantasy

While determination is simply a notable capable sentiment that aged games are worse due to the fact that they are old, truthful should truthful beryllium either fto to rot oregon to beryllium remade truthful that they are "better," I deliberation this statement goes retired the model erstwhile you look astatine thing similar Final Fantasy 11. That happening came retired successful 2022! And it launched connected PS2 first! Yet present it is much than 2 decades later, inactive getting updates, and now, potentially, an full caller zone.

This week saw a caller Freshly Picked Vana'diel, a semi-regularly held livestream from the Final Fantasy 11 squad akin successful quality to Final Fantasy 14's Letter from the Producer streams that details upcoming additions oregon changes, that benignant of thing. It was held successful Japanese, which I don't speak, but luckily immoderate Redditors who bash explained that the squad is seemingly preparing for the quality to marque caller areas.

As mentioned, this was primitively a PS2 game, the PC merchandise came a abbreviated portion after, and that information besides appears to beryllium a occupation for the FF11 team. Everything is inactive made utilizing the archetypal PS2 dev kits, which evidently volition beryllium massively outdated by this point. Judging from immoderate of the comments, on-stream the squad discussed that they're moving connected plans successful the lawsuit that these dev kits don't enactment anymore truthful that they tin marque caller instrumentality still, and successful peculiar commencement making caller areas again.

I whitethorn not person spent immoderate clip with Final Fantasy 11 myself, but it truly can't beryllium understated however invaluable it is that this 23 twelvemonth aged MMO is inactive going, fto unsocial the information it's inactive getting caller content. These spaces go 2nd homes (or adjacent a Second Life) for immoderate people, and sure, we should strive to not beryllium excessively beholden to our computers, but they are inactive realms of virtual beingness that merit to beryllium maintained. A caller country would beryllium beauteous important arsenic determination hasn't been a large caller 1 since its 2015 enlargement Seekers of Adoulin. Fingers crossed for those of you inactive playing!
