20th Anniversary Expectations...

And a cookie. I don't care what kind, but if I go out there to a burning circle and donate blood, I expect orange juice and a cookie.

if you don't want to go to asura, you can go to bahamut SHIVA! (ftfy)

Full shutdown

Idk how long yall have been saying this, but it's been an incorrect prediction for several years now. At some point you're going to get it right xD.

What kind of major celebration would the 20th Anniversary be if they were announcing the end to major updates? Of course, they've already done that before back in 2016 and have backed off from that approach.

I don't know what the 20th Anniversary will be, but it can't be an announcement that it's the end. And that move would be especially odd considering they've buffed us up substantially in the last year. . . just to end content updates? That seems unlikely.

They're going to nerf BLM

Cake ?

Yellow Cake.

It's either explosive or made with pee, the gamble is yours.

Final Fantasy tshirts leaked early?

Square could make a make a stripper with flashing neon underwear look boring.

The XI one is a decent design but the color choice sucks.

Damn man, just make some colorful shirts. Sheesh.

Still waiting impatiently for "We Are Vana'diel" merch. I'd buy that logo design on a shirt and proudly wear it everywhere I go.

and its probably like 80 dollars after shipment lol

Perhaps could be better as far as color selection, but in all honesty I don't think I'm being biased when I say that the XI shirt looks like the best one of the 16 different designs. At the very least it's among the top options. And it's sure as hell better than the mithkabob shirt (lol).

I have a large Uniqlo store nearby that will likely stock these, prob gonna pick one up if I see it.


This isn't a SE shop thing, where you might be right!

But Uniqlo is an affordable store. In the US, their licensed t-shirt collaborations are generally $20 or so (that's what the Pokemon ones they have now are selling for, $14.90 for kids and $19.90 for adult sizes). They charge $7.95 for US shipping, or free if you're buying $75 or more. Not bad.

I expect a new event with lotsa content to do (similar to Escha, or a smaller version of Abyssea? I dunno, something like that) that will be tied to Empyrean reforge.
This content will offer stuff for different groups. Solo, small groups, alliances etc.

I expect them to present this content to us during the anniversary in may, but I don't necessarily expect this content to be available from may already. If anything I would say it will be unlocked progressively starting from may or june.


I also expect some further changes to Odyssey. We already know that V25 is coming sooner or later, but I think they're gonna fix something else.
Allow us to use subjobs (after fulfilling some requirements?), allow us to store Moglophone KIs and maybe some futher changes to segments.
I, alas, expect Odyssey to remain a 6men based content.

I expect, at a minimum, to have a monthly campaign with a lot of good/rare stuff (i.e. crafting skillup campaign, exp/CP campaign). Perhaps an awesome Login Campaign also (i.e. abyssea upgrade items). And a few extra Mog Pells of course. I wouldn't be surprised to see a one-off Level 1 piece of equipment for lockstyle purposes. That's all I expect.

I don’t expect them to announce anything that would make me sub back, unfortunately.
However, I wish they’d announce something that would make it happen. I hope they shatter my expectations.

I'll take any FFXI Merch I can get, and I like that it's the Ark Angels and not like.. the waifus.

I like buying XI stuff and don't mind about price too much if it's good, I bought



Also this artbook recently

Claustrum will be nerfed.

(Please look forward to it.) Will be added to the auto translate function

I want them all, and even the ones they didnt make! I still keep an eye out for the shadowlord statue, but selling at 1~2k dollars is a little too much for me for a tiny statue lol

Adding silver vouchers to mog bonanza.

A single silver voucher would make for a better consolation prize than the Biscuit of Shame at least...

Sorry, I can't simply let this one slide. Yellow Cake w/ Choccy Frosting is the king of birthday cakes.

AKA the R. Kelly cake.

The reward for the new ingame event is a redemption code for 1 free month of ff14

Upvoted. Not because I hope that's what we get but because Lord of Tresserhorn rules.

Maintenance in 6 hours or so, for "preparations".

I have a feeling they are planning to add some teasers or something somewhere. Why else would they do this now.

Maybe they haven't realized yet that fans/players datamine everything they add and they actually think they can get away with front-loading a bunch of 20th Anniversary surprises lol
