Expansion Announced!!!?

*** all this. Just release monstrosity as a standalone game so I can buy the *** out of it. Best thing they added to xi in the last 4-6 years

'Member Pankration?

'Member Pankration?

I heard SE was in talks with Sony about revamping FFXI and FF14 merging the universes having the Universes unlockedable or something to that effect aftermath etc..?

Yoshi Hinted at a 11 collaboration in 14, but there was no substance there. Also 14 blows it would end up a desperation move by SE.

Shantotto in Burgeoning Dread in Jan '14 when she visited Eorzea during ASA (which she mentions when you get her Trust).

Iroha in Maiden's Rhapsody in Nov '15. You got to batter crabs as an homage.

They're totes using XIV subs money to upgrade all the XI models to HD in prep for the VR rerelease ;)

"Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair..."

I personally would have loved to see some new endgame content, but in order to participate, you had to do it as a Monstrosity.

I can just see it now....

Title: The Master's Monstrous Mistake

Amount of chapters/missions: Many. Access to the final set of areas are gated behind Monstrosity. Once finished with the Monstrosity content already in existence, a few additional quests lay the story work that bridges the gap from Vana'diel to Mordion Gaol.

The Setting: Mordion Gaol, the place where Pandemonium Warden, Tumult Curator and the Master referenced in Leafalia originate.

Content: You start as your avatar from Monstrosity, fighting with other monstrous PCs in Walk of Echoes-like battlefields called Valhalla. Your opponents are all former PC models: Tarutaru, Galka, Mithra, Elvaan and Hume.
The final tier of these WoE-like battlefields houses the terrestrial avatar of Chaos, Hades, a Kuluu tonberry who long ago made a pact with Odin in an attempt to circumvent the curse upon his people. Instead it compounded the curse, making him a focal point of chaotic energies, opening a path to Mordion Gaol but trapping him on the far side. The first encounter with him is a mission battle.
Upon completion of these tiers, a battlefield to obtain Hades as a summon is opened to PCs. Other rewards include tank, mage and DPS-orientated accessories. After winning once, a HTBF version is made available for other rewards.
After clearing the Hades mission battle, Hades remembers who he had been in Vana'diel and he calls Odin to appear. Odin grants you the power to return to your original form for content in Mordion Gaol.
Since Odin arrives, Alexander also appears because that's just how it works. He starts the quests for "job upgrading" and the new REMAs, finally directing you to consult Bahamut, with his blessing.
The next zones of Mordion Gaol are delve-like in progression, look like Outer Ra'Kaznar, but have hidden NMs like Salvage. These NMs follow the tradition of Unity, but lean heavily on the missing families fought in ZNM. These zones provide mid-challenge and gear. There will be a lot of reason to replay these zones, but they are not meant to be endgame.
Endgame will be fought in a twisted version of Limbus. Here players will learn the origin of Caturae, evil automatons controlled by demonic PUPs.
Caturae battles will play well with DRKs, proper Demons will play well with SAMs, and other monsters of every family will also play a significant part in these zones. BSTs and any jobs with Circle effects will have a reason to use these abilities. If not already clear, PCs can be their original race or a Monstrosity avatar, so those options are also present.
The second to last battle will be with the Master, a PUP that can and will utilize Overdrive and the SPs available to its Caturae automatons. There will be 6. His goal is to better understand the multitude of life created by the shattering of the Mother Crystal so that he can reassemble them within himself and become a proper god.
Defeating the Master opens a new zone, that looks like Sea, to fight through that ends with a final battle against Chaos, the culmination of the Master's research and efforts, that is some kind of twisted Absolute Virtue-thing.
After killing Chaos, the Master's underling spermies come to you, revealing that they are also Sanruku and Ryo, looking for purpose. You shrug like you always do in every final cutscene, revealing some greater truth that had always been right in their faces but they had never noticed before. They leave for their own journey and mention some cryptic nonsense about Ebon Panels, but, before they go, give you some crystalline potion the Master had made. Pouring this over the remaining artifacts of Phoenix bring the missing avatar back to strength, balancing Hades so that the pair can happily conflict between chaos and hope.

2-3 new jobs,their main focus,job abilities and 1 hours,REMAs: We don't need new jobs. I really like Siviard's idea of "upgrading" our existing jobs. The items needed to do so could be littered about the content available within this expansion.
New REMAs would be cool. Tartarus platemail-like appearance, but in weapon form and more celestial in color. Instead of glowing with the red of hell, more blues, whites and golds. Soul Calibur-esque, I imagine.
Plot-wise, we could have Bahamut be the NPC that takes the place of Goblins for the new REMAs as well as the job upgrade quests. Bring him items that prove you have fought against the taint of Mordion Gaol, and he will reforge them with dragon fire into pure soul gems or something.

Price: All of your money.

Was it not announced?

You were the one claiming it is.

Did you dream it all?

Must have been one heck of a drug trip.
