There's a growing unease in the <a href="http://www.playonline.com"><em>Final Fantasy XI</em></a> community. It's one of those subtle things that no one is willing to outright talk about, but it's still there, just beneath the surface of a surprising number of discussions. And it's a bit unusual for an MMO, because it's not fear or anxiousness about something being broken from the last update or an upcoming update.<br />
<br />
No, it's more about the question of whether the upcoming updates will be the last, or if there will even be any changes that <em>could</em> break something. There is an elephant in the room with a big number fourteen on its side, and while few fans of the game are upset that <a href="http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com"><em>Final Fantasy XIV</em></a> is coming... well, it raises no shortage of questions about the future of the game we're already playing.<br />
<br />
And it's not new. People were saying as far back as <a href="http://petfoodalpha.com/2009/07/version-update-sneak-peek/">the leadup to the July update</a> that something was rotten in the state of Jeuno. But when coupled with the promise that <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Final-Fantasy-XI/">Final Fantasy XI</a></em> isn't over... well, there's <a href="http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=21249">an excellent article that almost every fan needs to read</a> on Allakhazam, summarizing what no small number of fans have been thinking. Where are we actually going to be when the dust clears?<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/30/the-mog-log-the-worrying-future-of-final-fantasy-xi/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Mog Log: The worrying future of Final Fantasy XI</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/01/30/the-mog-log-the-worrying-future-of-final-fantasy-xi/">The Mog Log: The worrying future of Final Fantasy XI</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sat, 30 Jan 2010 12:00:00 EST.
