We have heard it several times so far: Final Fantasy XI has at least a years worth of content planned in advance. Are there any plans after that? Well, Tanaka reassures us that he certainly does not expect to shut down FFXI in a year, and players can rest easy knowing service will continue as normal.ffxi gil   The "one year" comment basically means they always have a years buffer of plans and ideas, and this will not change even with the impending release of FFXIV. Tanaka realizes his previous statements could have implied that after a year there were no more plans for the development of FFXI, but wants all players to know that this is not the case about Ffxi gil.
Ogawa says there is still much to do for FFXI, including wrapping up Wings of the Goddess and trying to get in all sorts of yet unrealized plans. Tanaka jokes that as per the title of the game, he would at least want to make it to 11 years. Now, even if development does continue as they say, will it be slowed to a crawl? Working on multiple MMOs simultaneously has got to be a trying task, but Tanaka is confident that having been developing FFXI and FFXIV side-by-side for almost 4 years now, there should be no worries about maintaining a healthy pace for FFXI. ffxi gil  Besides, with Director Nobuaki Komoto working on FFXIV, the development of FFXI should be unaffected.
So, with all this talk about FFXI and FFXIV Gil conflicting with each other, how about some information on how they compare? Unfortunately, it is still too early to say much, but Tanaka is able to reveal that in terms of play style, the direction of each game will be different. The one real similarity between FFXI and FFXIV is that at the core, they are both true to the Final Fantasy name.
