I've always been curious to see what's left of Tavnazia (mostly orcs I guess). But you could argue that as Tavnazia is a sister city of San d'Oria we've already seen ruined versions of that style (Sacrarium is under the Tavnazia Cathedral).
Not going to happen.

Bro you're hurting my feelings.
There is no reason at all they cannot add Tavnazia, they can make whatever zone they want.

Well they haven't added it in 20 years...
Everybody knows the new zone is going to be Rhazowa. It keeps coming up in the Voracious Resurgence story line. . . just like Reisenjima did in Rhapsodies. We will all walk the path of Ferreous Coffin.

I'm 800% on the Chemist-is-coming-train but I feel like SE is just trolling us with the Chemistry set.

The current devs of FFXI arent people who seems to have ability to troll, unless not intentionally with 1000x Shinryu.

Level difference adjustments like mentioned in matsuis post for 4 areas
Would be cool if old areas are adjusted for 119
I would so love for this to happen, it'll bring back that nostalgic feeling of thrill and fear from the classic 75 era when you wonder into IT++ places. Imagine Ifrit's cauldron scaled to Apex level. With the gear creep and all nowadays, the only place that can somewhat replicate this feeling would be in my opinion the ra'kaznar inner court Apex mobs, every corner is threatening and there are all sorts of agro mechanics (magic, sound, HP etc). The difference is no one would really go to those areas unless they are looking for highest capacity points yielding mobs (Ruamoko did a very nice video covering the different camps), while back in the day you'd have areas like these that players had to visit and rely on for farming and a lot more.

Its not that kind of level difference its to do with hate mechanics in the older zones. That's if I'm remembering the right post.
Working on The Voracious Resurgence Mission 4-3, and all of a sudden my story line is in Japanese. Did this happen to anyone else?

Quote:
The entire portion of the Voracious Resurgence Mission 4-3, "Naja the Ambitious", that takes place in Wajaom Woodlands was in Japanese. From the time I clicked on the Savage Scars until the end of the cutscene after the fight. Upon reporting back to Naja Salaheem, everything was back in English.
New mouse pad released (JP store only...) for preorder. I believe it was announced last month at TGS https://store.jp.square-enix.com/item/MFF11000098.html

I have no doubt we'll get a ton of stuff next year. Even forgotten games like Vagrant Story and Xenogears got action figures for their 20th.

They could always make BraveBlade, Handing out BP like it's 1999...
I never played that one

Like FFT, but super dark theme. Starts off as "kids", some bad stuff happens, main char runs away and becomes a bandit. Later meet up with those childhood friends, old girlfriend is now a prostitute and old best buddy is her husband / pimp. The whole game is basically "War is Hell" due to you being in the middle of a Civil War created by foreign powers.
I remember my aunt bought me the first vandal hearts game as a kid and woowww it was a shock seeing blood just friggin BURST out of someone on a kill, lol
I liked it a lot, but I'm terrible at turn based strategy games so I cheated then to beat it, and would probably still have to cheat now

Classic strategy RPG's were among my favorite back then. Yes, Vandal Hearts was really good and darker than I expected. FFT, Vagrant Story, Tactics Ogre... still fond memories of all of those. And it's not a Square game, it's Nipponichi I think, but I got sucked into Disgaea for a long time. That one had a dark yet comical theme, and you could get lost inside an item forever it felt.
I wish they still made games like that, but it feels like RPG's (strategy based and turn based) is a dying breed. It's all big business now...Why would anyone make an RPG to sell to us nerds when they can sell a billion copies of Madden football or something.

I mean, Disgaea 6 just came out.

Yes of course, and I am glad there are still some here and there. I only meant that it's not like the RPG "golden years" back around SNES/PS1 days. Look at how many RPG's got released on those systems. :)
They don't make turn based rpg anymore because they're not capable of making good ones reminiscent of the older popular titles. It's not the same square from two decades ago. They just prolong the rereleases of hd remasters to draw back in old fans every once in a while, but their best days are certainly behind them.
Two decades ago there was no Square-Enix. There was Squaresoft and Enix Interactive. I feel like the merger hurt both sides of the equation tbh, because the titles from both halves of the company suffered in creativity afterward.
The main reason they don't make JRPGs like the ones you remember is because the JRPG itself was a consequence of technical limitations that no longer exist, so there's no reason to make them except to pander to nerds like us.
EDIT: FWIW Kemco publishes them like monthly and some of them aren't nearly as bad as I expect them to be.
