FFXI Remaster - Remake

[radar]

If FFXI was remade today it would have a cash shop, it would have game guides built into the game forcing you you to do things, you would be lead from one location to the next, the zones would be far smaller and be effective corridors where you would be funneled to locations of interest, there would be quest markers, there would be a quest log on the screen that you level from, there would be 99% less gear, level cap quests would be removed and leveling speed increased, evasion and accuracy would be removed, all the races would have the same animations, gil would be worthless to make sure RMT are not a problem, all jobs would do the same dmg and be interchangeable, there would be one set of gear at endgame that will only change every 6 months when they add a new one and invalidate the old one, it would be based around dungeons rotations and the stories would be inoffensive bland rubbish, half the characters would be black with affro's and corn rows that play hiphop music when you engage a monster and the leader of every nation would be a lgbt.

All hotpants and subligars will be removed and replaced with thick wollen pants, the tops that show cleavage would have an undershirt for your safety.

I don't know if it's intended as hyperbole, but I don't think you have to worry about your subligars. FFXIV has them too, and plenty of other minimal-cover outfits.

And I think they know as well as we do, players wouldn't accept a remake with the combat system being completely different. There are improvements we'd probably appriciate, like making movement more fluid/responsive and getting rid of animation lock, but if they made combat a lot faster and dramatically simplified, it would backfire. The people playing FFXI today are specifically playing it because it has this depth that modern games lack. And while such a game is never going to top the charts, there is at least some demand for a more technical MMO, as more than one company has tried in the past. The question is just if there is *enough*.
