Yea or they could just spend that development building new things for Eorzea..... Your time would be better off just revisiting the street you grew up on rather than trying to rebuild it on your new block. Cross over events are good, http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-my-Vana-diel, but rebuilding one game into another isn't.

For example, you get the item needed to spawn a super strong Valkurm Emperor that drops a super spiffy Emperor's Hairpin with XIV stats? Konchtat could have a really strong Stray Mary that drops a Bard bow instead of a horn.

Would that be cool?

It would be cool, yes, but it just wouldn't be an efficient use of resources. Once the event was over that area would become inaccessible when the devs could have made something else that was permanent instead.

The only new area we've ever gotten for an event was last year's anniversary event where we visited the devs' office. That area was constructed almost entirely out of existing assets though; there were only a couple of minor models that were created especially for it. It was also an interior map that likely used a tile-based prefab structure in the engine, whereas an open region as you describe would require a lot of terrain modelling and extensive testing. It's just not feasible unfortunately.

I would like a zone from Vanadiel with the farm system LOL I know..I know...>.>

But hear me out...

I just want a zone with force pops like sky/sea ; ;

..... Idea for Orchestrion

Sanctuary of Zitah

Mhaura

Manaclipper

Ronfaure

Misareaux Coast

the list can go on .... FFXI OST is amazing

I would lose my mind.... In a good way.

No, just no. This obsession certain players have with wanting FFXIV to be FFXI in HD graphics is now manifesting in strange ways.

Besides, SE stated that they will not be doing any more fanservice crossover raids/dungeons/areas etc (in other words, an area that is directly taken from a past FF game such as the Crystal Tower) so this will almost definitely never happen.

By reading this, I just remember that FF11 has free access this weekend!
Time to visit those old places!

I suppose. I'd rather do something like that than another vertical progression raid or farm tomes. I totally get what you're saying though and you represent the majority of players, I'm sure.

The street thing was a total metaphor. I definitely do not want to visit my old 'hood.

I wouldn't mind another crossover event from ffxi.

I would also like to have all the zone soundtracks from ffxi available for the orchestrion. (and those from any other ff that people enjoyed)
I do listen to the soundtrack frequently and still hop into ffxi for nostalgia moments as I refuse to end my subscription there but would really enjoy the music in my ffxiv "home".
