A remake of a zone that we loved in FFXI ?

I'm not against making a nostalgic area for those FFXI players that feel like it would help them in feeling at home in FFIXV, but it should be something to consider farther down the road when the Square Enix stabilizes the game enough to gather a larger player base and get the subscriptions started. I wouldn't expect them to add an FFXI element to this game before then.

To pick, just for the fun of picking, I'd say the tropical island Bibiki Bay. It didn't have a whole lot to do on it in 11, but was aesthetically pleasing at least.

Someone could have a painting of the inlet opening from Bibiki Bay hanging on the wall, off to the side, not really calling attention to itself.

Nothing calling attention to itself. Just really subtle.

That would be pretty cool to find.

Well I'll be darned. We got one for Den of Rancor.

Porgonorgo Islands! Yes please! Resort "Paradise Isle" and with a touch of Costa Del Sol from FF7 !!!

I would like FFXI-ish like zones, but of course not a copy but ideas stemmed from FFXI zone, that 9 yr old game was too good for its time! moving shrubs, trees, puddles, random insects, random flora and fauna depending on weather, awesome nightsky, zone only stuff like giant puffing mushrooms in Jugner forest, Flying weeds in La Theine Plateau, Varies fruits and colourful flowers in the Yhutunga/Yhoator Jungles etc etc!!!

SE has never duplicated a setting to my knowledge (excluding X&X-2 of course.

Do you think the WoW forums had any less requests to bring elements from Warcraft? And that's not even the same genre.
How bout Guild Wars 2? Been to those forums?

So, calm down. Nobody is remaking anything.

Her seething hatred for a successful MMO prevents her from calming down. She's sick of seeing people talk about SQUARE ENIX's SUCCESSFUL MMORPG yet seem to not care when people mention other MMOs.

No, it's more of a matter of this dead horse has been beaten and beyond.

would love to see some kinda endgame like sky but looked and felt very different, the main part being that it's a place to go and farm pops an kill nm's all day long. this game needs a content that if wanted can farm 24hours a day and that is fun with lots of boss battles.

in it looking the same as sky, maybe a shrunken version of it, tiny little sky maybe in form of a dungeon would be funny to see. outside that though i'd like to see all new stuff, but in reality ffxiv has lots of similarity to ffxi in mobs and looks so i wouldn't cry bout it long as the game play is different.

as for my favorite zone, kazam!!, i loved that zone, i loved getting out of quifim everytime to get on the ship to kazam to grind there on mandies.

You don't really have to complete anything other that getting "Keyed" for things. I just remember the excitement when I finally got access to Lufaise or hell, even Khazam let alone Sky and Sea. In the end that's all I want from XIV, that same feeling of accomplishment and something bigger than I am.

I meant more along the lines of a rite of passage to know whether a person will keep playing or not. I know most people quit by Valkurm, and even more quit at Qufim. I barely know anyone who quit after passing Qufim, though. Once you passed those two, the rest of FFXI was just all out fun. But you had to work to get to that point. Valkurm and Qufim were learning experiences, at least on NA release when none of us knew exactly how to go about the game yet.
