Square Enix recently announced on the 23rd anniversary of Final Fantasy 11 that this MMORPG will receive a major update in 2025 and beyond.In addition to multiple optimizations, the game will add the long-awaited race conversion function for players and adjust the single-player game experience.Although these plans show optimistic prospects, producer Yoji Fujito revealed: On another timeline, this work may have come to an end in 2024.

Yoji Fuji revealed in an interview that on the eve of the 20th anniversary (2022), the company considered termination of game content updates: "We did think that updates may be stopped in 2024, allowing the game to enter the so-called maintenance mode - only retaining the system operation and maintenance."It was originally planned to end after the plot line of "Resurrection of the World" was over, and the server's life was approaching, and the team even discussed completely shutting down the game.

However, during the preparations for the 20th anniversary, the development team received a "large number of long-term operation petitions" from players.Fujido emphasized in particular: "The most important thing is that players are still logging in to the game. We thought that after the completion of "Resurrection of the World", if the game's popularity declined significantly, it would be ready to end, but this situation did not happen. I think this is a signal that we should continue to operate."

It was the players' enthusiasm that lasted for twenty years that prompted the team to decide to upgrade the underlying architecture of the game.After Fujito replaced Akihiko Matsui as producer, he reorganized the (currently smaller) development team to give priority to the development of new content.
