What would you take from FFXIV and put into FFXI?

[Valefor4life]

Graphics! and fanservice.

We need mi'quots from FFIV, the mithra here are becoming generic.

[RAIST]

hell...I'd just settle for true DX9 support at this point so my graphics card might actually DO something to the game

[Futan]

Graphics and lack of console support.

Why would the servers being shut down be thier bane? It's not like they were collecting money from subscriptions...

Is this a serious question? The playerbase had already been grounded into dust and then grounded again. I doubt all of those players are going to return after realizing the time they were wasting. Sure, it's free per month but, with no one playing it, how would that matter? If they can't keep the playerbase (a small one at that), then there's no point in keeping the servers up, especially not for free.

Actually XIV playerbase is probably around the same size or maybe a little smaller than XI's.

But i would take nothing but graphics, and that isnt even XIV graphics, just "updated graphics" in general, i wouldnt take music, i hate it in XIV.

I play both xiv/xi now and like them individual, well i lie i hate xiv until it gets something good lol, my 50conj is just sitting collecting dust.

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 sort of agree with the guy who said this thread is backwards, but

I personally think Final Fantasy 11 has better music than 14, so I woudn't even want to swap those.

I think 14 has a better crafting system. But other than that.... probably nothing lol

Oh, I do like how you have last names on 14. Woudn't mind seeing that on 11.

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.

I think you missed the guy's point. He was saying 11 was the far superior game. So naturally it was 14 that could really benefit from carrying over game ideas from 11 - not vice versa.
