Final Fantasy XI Shutting Down This Year
February 17, 2010 by srfto
A high employee at Square Enix posted that MMORPG ‘Final Fantasy XI’ will be shutting down completely this year to make way for ‘Final Fantasy XIV’. However, the post was deleted from that person’s blog and there are still no confirmation whether this will be true.
On Gamegrep post:
It has been reported that a top human resources employee at Square Enix posted on a personal blog (that has since been taken down) that FFXI will terminate in order to make way for Final Fantasy XIV.
Attached is the supposed posting which says, “I think some amongst you will know, but FF11 started in 2002 … Well, this year it’ll end and the stage will shift to FF14.”
Logically, it does make sense to shut down the old game to make room for the new one, but it does leave a bitter taste to all players still in Final Fantasy XI if it does happen. So I am sure Square Enix will probably come up with a plan to shut down the 8 year old game without making loyal fans of the series angry. As of now, we will still consider this as a rumor until Square Enix confirms it.
