This could be really bad or this could be a good thing...

Much has been made about the recent announcement of Final Fantasy XIV Online for Playstation 3 and PC yesterday. But what will happen to Square-Enix's first MMO game, Final Fantasy XI?

During Square-Enix's Final Fantasy XIV Online live blog this afternoon, some light was shed on the subject.

Speaking through a translator, Square-Enix reps confirmed they'll be supporting FFXI with "new content" for at least one more year.

It's still unclear whether this means general updates or expansions. One would think Square-Enix wants to populate their new MMO with everyone currently playing Final Fantasy XI eventually, though.
