No this is not a thread about me quitting or anything so you can stop worrying. Read the text under before you check the link AFTER you've watched the video on the site (requires a flashplayer plugin), highlight the black text under the link to read what I think about it. www.playonline.com/ff11eu/altana/index.htmlSpoilers if you havn't watched the vid, start here... So after watching the vid it should be pretty obvious that SE is currently producing a new expansion for FFXI. When you watch it the first time you might not notice, but the first scenes of the new expansion actually show Meriphataud Mountains, Pashhow Marshlands, Gustaberg, Batalllia Downs and a few zones that don't look quite the same. Soon you will see the "old" (current Davoi) and then the screen blurs and you see the "new" Davoi... which truthfully is the way Davoi was BEFORE the Great War 20 years ago (in game). All the other zones shown, too, are the way they used to be before. And if you take the pieces of text shown in the vid you might put 1 and 1 together. The new expansion will actually be telling a story of the Vana'diel of old. Would SE allow players to go back in time with this expansion? Participate in the wars that took place long ago? Discover the backgrounds and history of our current nations?...and end here.

OMG PAM YOU SPOIL'D IT FOR ME seriously though, the best part about that video was the music; other than that, it's the teasers all over again. Don't think you should expect to see anything of what the expansion really holds until last summer at least. As for my theories: I've been reading a lot of speculation threads and whatnot, but i don't think they'll increase the level cap, i don't think they'll add new jobs (unless they're damn stupid), but i DO think they will make an effort to add a significant amount of actual game content - i.e. upgrades for current jobs, new zones, and things that are new but will play a part in every day play, rather than just something you can ignore completely like a lot of other new things added.

Lots of talk on killing ifrit about possible new jobs though, time mage sounds like an interesting idea, and would tie into the story well...
Would also be very cool to visit some of the current zones in the past!

I think you will be able to visit the past - in some way, that's what the vid shows.
As for there being a Time Mage... Idk almost all the "Time Magic" spells have been given to other jobs already. Haste Slow Gravity (although it doesn't have the same effect as in other FF games) Meteor etc., would not be so convenient to give one job all those spells... I mean that's what RDM WHM and SMN are for.
If they do add a new job - however - I'm hoping for a new tank job. Now we got like 2 tanks vs. what, 15 melee? lol

Not really about the new expansion but you might still like this; www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff11eu/detail/1841/detail.htmlAdjustments made to the notoriously hard CoP missions to make them more enticing to new and old players... Apparently SE doesn't like the fact that no one wants to do the CoP missions, so as a result the difficulty of the Promyvion missions and a few others was lowered. Probably wont be as hard to complete those missions now, making the CoP rings a bit easier to obtain. There's also going to be a exp bonus introduced after beating a CoP mission. ~P out
