FFXI crossover event comming to FFXIV

[Alhanelem]

FFXIV lore and story are pretty abyssal, they feel incredibly derivative,

No more derivative than XI's lore. What fantasy story concept HASN'T been done before in a game? Personally other than a certain section of the main scenario mentioned below, I found the story to be quite compelling. Long story short, this is a matter of opinion. I disagree with but respect yours.

It doesn't help that the lore exist in a bubble and the developers don't care to incorporate it into the game.

The lore is incorpoated into the game. I don't even understand what you're trying to get at here.

couldn't resist shoving sex jokes every 5 NPC or so.

I really don't think we're playing the same game. I can't find these overabundant sex jokes.

FFXI quests may be poinless, but a lot of 'em actually offered nice story-arcs.

Lots of XIV quests also offer nice story arcs. You must not have played them.

This isn't to say that the story/lore isn't without flaw. There are things I shin should have been handled differently, particularly there' are some situations in the main scenario where the player character acts in a cutscene in such a way that is different from what any sensible person would do, and the story only works because of it. That could have been done better. Yes, there are some fetch quests that don't advance the lore of the area, but there are plenty of such quests in XI as well.

Every class and job in XIV (including the crafting/gathering ones) has a story arc, and those arcs also continued in the expansion. in FFXI, after you did the AF quests, that was it. They never expanded on them, not directly at least.

A male Miqo'te retainer, and I assume the female equivalent is the only thing I can think of that uses sexual innuendo, I guess he watched one youtube clip and made his judgement based on that.

Problem is, people are too used to characters lacking personality because of this game.

Yes, everyone who dislike FFXIV didn't play it. There is a secret conspiracy to degrade XIV from XI players, the secret game only few elects played. You caught us.

Based Yoshi-P!

Nope, just people upset their favourite games popularity is falling and blaming it on another game rather than accept it's because it's become stagnant.

My disliking of FFXIV has nothing to do with FFXI.

In fact, I wasn't even planning of going back to XI ever, I only returned with a fresh character because I saw the "Grand Finale" campaign months ago. I had already quit FFXIV by then, I was tired of Yoshi-P "lol, play the same game over and over and reset gears ever 3-6 months".

The same has happened to FFXI though, everything new is recycled old-content. Admittedly, I'm not too fond of it happening in FFXIV so soon.

FFXI varies its victory conditions, its reward structure, its necessary strategies, etc. with nearly every event. They run out of ideas and rehash occasionally, it's true, but it's not even close to XIV, which seems to make a determined effort to repeat itself.
