It's only been 4 weeks, and we already have more content at base installation than we did with ToAU.

I'm sure they'd gain some new ones as well from upping the graphic and the amount of data that can be rendered and handled.

When the FFXI MMORPG designs were drafted and development began, Square-Enix Made some contract thing with the Major Console Companies that could house the MMORPG(Sorry GCN, No HDD at time, And Wii Still has to low of HD space and hardware differences). It was there All Console, All Game, All Support. Its even mentioned in the Gametrailers.com FFXI retrospective. Stating that they finally fulfilled the contract "again" when the Xbox 360 came out because they had waited to develop for Microsoft over the Original Xbox. Its easier to wait or not develop for a console then it is to develop in the first place and drop so suddenly is what one of the representatives said in a interview.

if you want to count reskinned maps/regions, useless NMs, and next to 0 missions, sure.

Campaign Battles came in working. Besieged was added in an update.
Campaign Ops are more plentiful than the initial Assaults.
More ranks.

If you want to compare WotG mission count to ToAU, it's virtually the same. ToAU only felt longer since it forced you to wait between a couple, they were all event cutscenes too. WoTG may only have 3 missions, but it's technically 6 since you have to do 3 sidequests to go from 2 to 3.

ToAU also had useless NMs when it first became available, and no HNMs.

If they bumped PS2 off the list. Then SE better have some way of supplying those who only have the PS2 to play on, another way to play the game. Once time goes by, that time is lost and cannot be regained (Captain Jack Sparrow, PotC 3) That's a rough quote of what he said. So to have someone just stop playing like that. Would be not exactly horrendous but it's something that would for sure make it so everyone hates them and they slowly go out of business. And about the post where if the graphics were better and all that, SE would get more customers. They should just not play all together. A great game is made of it's story. And yes, there are those, some posted it in the thread and others that haven't saying the story sucks, but if people only play good graphics games 'cause it looks so real, we should sit their ass on an ATV and have them race. And just say "This real enough?"..They would call you crazy. So they just need to go off into their own lala land and kiss my white ass, I have a PS2, and I also have a compatable PC to play this on. Though I don't really touch my PC with all the previous reports of accounts getting hacked. So what SE has to do, is choose some huge altering path via in game and RL to have a new race come into this game.

I don't understand how they can't add new faces and hairstyles or a race. If they can add in new .dats and new characters in expansions during an update. Some where some how, this is all f*cked.

Time will tell...

Eesh, didn't you pay attention to what's already been said? It's a storywise limitation that prevents the inclusion of any more races. We explicitly play as members of Altana's Children, of which there are only five - one race corresponding to a Crystal Warrior, which in turn each correspond to a mothercrystal fragment.

Much of the game only works if you're a Child of Altana, the CoP missions most notably, but also the Zilart missions to a lesser extent and of course the WotG mission set.

The only possible exception I could see is the inclusion of male mithra and/or female galka, since there's nothing storywise that would absolutely require galka and mithra adventurers to be limited to a single gender.

Personally I don't really see much wrong with the racial limit. I think people are just allowing themselves get bored when there's still so much of the game to experience
 
I was asking about the race part via the graphics limitation. They can still create .dats usable on the PS2...retarded as to why they can't...if anything, publish a free disk if they can't update the game via downloading and it needs a direct install. Sorry for the mishap. Thanks for the back story, I knew most of it.

Galka have no other gender. This is why you don't see females. It's not like the case of Mithra, where the males remain at the homeland - as Galka had their homeland taken over, and migrated to Quon. There is simply no such thing as a female Galka.

Oh, I concede to that point. I was just saying that there's nothing ingame that hinges on galka having no gender. So if SE wanted to they retcon the deal with galka gender without ripping open any plot holes.
 
Well, there could be females, theres certainly nothing particular saying there isn't. Just that elder galka go on a rebirth journey and come back young and without memories, with the exception of the talekeeper.
