The problem here is that they will need to add a lot of new endgame content to provide appropriate level events, and at this point SE doesn't have the manpower on FFXI to actually do this.
Maybe they do though. Maybe they want players to be able to lowman everything that is current now to finish it and get on to better things. Hell take a merit pt into dyna and clear house with 6 people. Take 5-6 people and destroy sky. Take 5-6 people and clear sea.
Maybe they have finally realized people are still having to spam old areas and events even after 4-5 years because its just to much of a time sink.
I think this will work out if they implement it right. There will probably be 100 updates to fix things that are broken but that's the same as if they just added a whole new set of abilities and thing anyways.
They will not stop support as long as they have the player base. If we make the best of what they give us and keep some sort of faith we will continue playing for a long time.
I for one would love to be done with dyna, done with sky, done with sea.
Hell 2-3 blm can prob go into dyna at 99 and sleepga>aga3/4/5 all the mobs and just clear everything. People will be able to complete relics that were otherwise out of their reach.
Players have to stop thinking the game is over now and be excited that your going to be able to take no a whole new and exciting element of the game where we wont know everything and know every piece of +% stat needed for perfect fighting of every creature. I believe they just opened up endgame again and added something ffxi has missed for a long time and thats the unknown.
