What do you mean by "taxing pets?"

Are they "taxing" your system or just causing trouble with targeting/other?

Skirmish. Hamlets. Difficulty. Gear with enhancement stats to abilities. Be able to switch in and out gear during battle. Ability to change class inside dungeons. Person specific chests after defeating primals. A token system to acquire primal weapons like in 1.0. But with better drop rates. Anima which once depleted will regen slowly like in 1.0 but we could then pay gil for ports while waiting for it to regen. Make fishing profitable. Implement gardening. Furnishure for our inn rooms. Story line quests derived from the grand companies, not some bogus story line that has nothing to do with the GC. As it is now, GC's play a very small role in this game. Open World NM's. Grind option for parties, FATES suck. Take away the 'tiered' restrictions to end game. It creates more conflict than anything else amidst the community.

I want my Path Companion to return, as well as certain other 1.0 Tanaka storyline characters and their quests. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I still think there's atleast a little demand.

no no, I mean it's extra stress on the server, the "tax" / load they put unto the servers could have been used on 1.0 poly count. Armors look like crap up close unlike in 1.0

Pet's shouldn't have even been an idea to begin with. 1.0 was 2010, tech has changed a bit in 3 years

Ah, I see your point.

I agree that they shouldn't have added an element that puts undue stress on the servers at the cost of features from 1.0 that players actually liked, but at the same time I can see why they added them.
SE wanted to attract the "pokemon" crowd, those people who like collecting things, because it would ultimately boost subscriptions and players. Plus there's a huge following of people who don't currently play MMOs that love certain Final Fantasy monsters/characters (example: Cait Sith).

I would like to see a way for us to go through the original story put forth in 1.0. A lot of players, like myself, who chose to stick with FFXI instead of FFXIV missed out on it and simply watching it on Youtube doesn't even really feel like an option. Time hijinks were a core aspect of an FFXI expansion, being thrown back in time to play through 1.0 seems just as plausible.

Give us back faction leves and the possibility to get a 100.000 gil reward leve ^^

An option to choose between 1.0's "List" system for item organization and 2.0's "Icon" organization.

Currently 2.0's system leaves much to be desired in the way of organizing items and picking out pieces of gear for classes/jobs quickly.

A FFXIV version on FFXI: Wings of the Goddess or a Conquest system. A Ballista system?

FFXIVs open dungeons with no zone-lines, that is all. Thank you.

I do miss the gorgeous textures and overall graphical feel in 1.0, along with the wide open feel of some of the zones(New Shroud is way better than old). The open world xp grind parties and non-FATE NMs were some of my favorite things about 1.0. I also agree that inertia animations of our characters as they slowed and stopped was such a neat touch and I greatly miss it too.

But one thing I truly wish they would bring back/add in was the old real time ferry ride instance from 1.0. I loved catching a ship and just hanging out and chatting with my linkshell buddies while the ship sailed from Limsa to Thanalan and back again.

If they could re-implement some(or somewhat unrealistically, most) of these greatly missed features, I doubt I'd ever have a need for another MMO!

I want 1.0 Character Model to return, minus the collision effect.

I agree about the real time Ferry rides.
There was nothing quite like riding it during the Fire Fall Fiare and setting off a bunch of fireworks with some friends during the game's night hours.

I think we'll see it return eventually, maybe as an instanced fight or event but probably never again as a travel option. A lot of people would revolt now if their precious "instant travel" was taken away...

So very true- it's a shame what we give up in the name of convenience.

How about have real time ferry rides as a free alternative? While the instant travel comes with payment.

This is a good thread. Good list, and I agree with 99% of it.
