What would you take from FFXIV and put into FFXI?

[Chronofantasy]

Besides the obvious improved high quality graphics and the amazing music from Nobuo Uematsu which actually may be the only good things of FFXIV, what are some other features of FFXIV (If any) that you would take from FFXIV and place into FFXI if it could be made possible without any limitations of old systems getting in the way (lolPS2)?

For myself personally, I always wished that FFXI would have those icons shown below or beside each characters name to tell you which character has what on them so that way you don't have to make sure you don't miss anything in the chatlog to recast a buff or erase/na spell a debuff on your character. When I saw this feature in FFXIV I was actually quite amazed and happy that SE placed this in FFXIV, but I wish FFXI could have this feature as well.

I think this thread is backwards. lol

You answered your own question in your first sentence, graphics and music. That's it. Period.

Other than that FFXIV can sink in the toilet like my terds just did from the crap I just took.

1) Linkshell Emblems/Shield Crests
2) Retainers so we could bazaar without having the game on
3) Crafting mini game system rather than "you failed because I (the game) said you did"
4) More Teleport points (Aetheryte crystals minus the anima)
5) Eh, it's too hard to think of anything else, would just get depressed.

Edit: But yeah, this thread is backwards as those are the only "good" things I can think of about FFXIV. Look at how miniscule they are. Not even worth the trouble. Just add all the good things about FFXI to FFXIV, boom, done.

I hear NPCs could actually speak now in that Game, I guess that would be cool too...

Those were realy ugly. Maybe if they were customizable.

Nothing. i'd rather ff14 grew one way and ffxi grew its own.

It's not backwards. This is a FFXI forum, not a FFXIV forum, and let's admit it, FFXI is still successful while FFXIV may be on the brink of getting scrapped.

There are a few good features of FFXIV that they never could put in or never did put in FFXI so let's say FFXIV does fail one day then at least maybe SE can put some of these features into FFXI if PS2 gets thrown out the window. If FFXIV ever picks up though then yes, it would be best for the game's feature to stay separate from FFXI so that it can be unique all in itself.

FFXIV won't be scapped still has PS3 version to come out and save it. PS2 will never be droped from FFXI but if I have to pick stuff from FFXIV to put in here then I would have to say Crafting and Retainers love that can bazzar even when not logged in

And people said that the servers wouldn't be back online until the end of April :X I do doubt they'll drop ps2, despite numerous complaints and how badly it is holding us back. However, I also doubt FFXIV will last that long, especially after having the servers shut down for over a week. I could be wrong but, hey, a man can dream.
