In some ways I am hoping they never re-master XI. If they would do a straight-up graphics and GUI update, I would be all for that, but there is no way that would happen. They would do a "George Lucas" and 'improve things' which never ends well. I include VII remaster in this.

It would probably require not far off a total re-write of most of the core code, as I doubt that many of the original programmers are even still with SE and that was written 20 years ago which is a different age as far as technology goes.

I tried to play XIV twice, and hated it. The whole system was bad to me. The NPCs were unlikable and the hap-hazzard story left me cold. If they tried to push any of this into a XI remaster, as they would inevitably do it would kill it.

We would then get the split of the community would push for a "classic" game.

No thanks.
