SE said:
The development team is pleased to announce that Mr. Mizuki Ito, director of the Abyssea series of battle area add-ons and creator of a wide range of battle content to date, will be taking over the helm as director of FINAL FANTASY XI.

Assisting him as associate director will be Mr. Yoji Fujito, known to players as the creator of the Trial of the Magians and chocobo raising systems.

Both directors are committed to seeing that Vana'diel continues to evolve as a realm of rousing adventure and camaraderie.

Mizuki.Ito said:
It is an honor and a privilege to be given this opportunity to assume the role of FINAL FANTASY XI director from my colleague Mr. Matsui.

With my experience on the team, I understand how deeply our players treasure the memories they have made over eight-plus years in Vana'diel, and I will do everything in my power to see that the greatest adventures are still yet to come.

Yoji.Fujito said:
As associate director, I look forward to working with Mr. Ito to guide FINAL FANTASY XI into its next great age of adventure.

Though the challenge is a daunting one, we will endeavor to create content that offers new challenges and rewards for all adventurers who call Vana'diel home.

What are your thoughts on this new staff lineup and direction FFXI has taken as of late with all these updates and add on campaigns?
I for one, after playing FFXI as long as I have and being patient with it's generally slow-paced nature am excited to see it crank up the heat and action to the high octane level of gameplay it deserves to be, even if only after all these years.

Well, given that SE also made an announcement regarding the restructuring of XIV's staff tonight, this probably wasn't a surprise. The appointed Director of XI back in September (Matsui) was re-assigned to combat for XIV.

I so hope that this was the right decision and doesnt lead both FFXI and FFXIV into a harbour of *** :/

Well for FFXIV i welcome the "trial till everything is fixed" but i am scared the new guy(s) will go the Crysta-road and we will soon see halloween-costumes for 100 crysta to purchase D:

All they need to do now to make me content is make a Far-East (Tenzen's homeland) and Far-South (Mithra homeland) expansion.

Agreed. The game feels too cramped with the current amount of locales. Shadowreign and Abyssea zones don't count since they're just tweaked versions The Middle Lands.

It's my opinion that the level cap increase and new content were necessary in the game's level 75 declining state. That being said I think Abyssea spoils players too much and Trial of the Magians is a really stupid grind system. Relic weapons were in some ways similar to TOM weapons, but there was a storyline behind it and teamwork was necessary to get your currency. With TOM the storyline is basically, ancient moogle power can be yours if you kill 1000 crabs during wind weather.

Summary: The new directors don't understand what made the game balanced and great so I don't trust them with the future content of it.
pretentious pumpernickel aren't you.
just because it doesn't give you warm and fuzzies about yesteryear doesn't mean it's bad.
that and we still have a few updates left :/

I'm just glad the *** who toyed with our heads for 7 years lost his job.

How could they not see him ruining FFXIV?

Off-topic: As we're giving our thoughts and opinions about this, some one is going out of their way to "express" their own opinion by rating us all down.

Anyway, not everyone is fit to be a director.

Seems like good news for XIV but how many more staff members are going to move to XIV before we see

"Greetings players, I am Yoshi Hatamori, former mail room employee for Square Enix, it is my pleasure to annouce that I have been appointed lead director for FFXI. I look forward to implementing many exciting changes in the Delivery Box system!"

Hey, if it gets rid of the "please try again later" message when emptying out the d-box, I'm all for it.

It would be awesome to see old content reinvented or updated. And no, not because that's what WoW just did but because FFXI is currently occupying 10 gigs on my computer and it would be nice if more of that was actually used.

Not that much. Lack of content and some lag.

They already made both of these >.>

Tenzen's Homeland (Far-East) is Aht Urhgan

Mithra's Homeland (Far-South) is Kazham

or I could just been reading all the story's wrong and exactly what all the npc's talk about in those zones <.<

Near east is Aht Urghan. Far east is further. Mithra homeland is far south.

Clair.... Tenzen and that Yagudo that appears in the TOAU missions both come from a part of the world to the EAST of Aht Urghan.

Kazham is just a midway point between the homelands and Windy. The WOTG missions make it clear that they come from lands further south than what's currently in the game....
