The game WOULDN'T become FFXI 2.0 because first of all it's a completely different world, with completely different storyline. Think about this:Quote:

We can go beyond using the same jobs, and add ADDITIONAL jobs, use different, new features with the job system, like how FF5 sorta-kinda added sub-jobs when FF3 didn't have them.
EDIT:
I also want to say that all a lot of us are asking for is to start us off with the 6 traditional jobs. That is NOT copying FFXI because this concept is from FF1. You can then add whatever other jobs to unlock later, whether they be other higher-end traditional jobs like Paladin or Summoner, or new jobs like Thaumaturge. I would actually like both options availble, because while we still have the traditional feel with jobs like White Mage or Warrior, new jobs will keep the game fresh. Old jobs will keep the game rooted at the same time without letting it fly off away from the series.

It's also open-ended, so any idea, whether it's from FFXI, WoW, etc., could be in their top 10 list.
This is something a player poll couldn't easily accomplish. Just looking back at some people's posts, "content" looks to be the highest priority on everyone's lists. Things like certain jobs, chocobos, mog houses, hairstyling, etc., are positioned lower priority than other desired features that have been brought up in this forum.
Granted the older the post, the more outdated the priority. This still isn't a bad idea tho. -

I what I would like to see is this:
- More storybased gameplay
- Complex and more strategic combat
- More unique traits in armory system
- Job system and companies
- Faster and more responsive UI
- More low-, mid- and endlevel content
- Dungeon and instances
- Mounts
- More use for DoL in the game as a whole
- Achievement or collection system
- Merciless death penalty, muahahahaha
- Less veterans from FFXI thinking they have special rights and know where this game should go to...

2) A post saying SE needs to make the game itself rather than pander to player's constant wishes.. The idea being that player's are shortsighted and SE would need to design the game as a whole which ultimately would end in higher satisfaction.
Now, you can call me a troll, and the fact is that I certainly am with those 2 points above, but it really is just because I haven't seen you in quite a long time.
That being said, my top 10 list
1) Refocus on the 'unlocking' that made ffxi such a great game of having goals and making accomplishments
2) Create the first real system in the game that is different than just your standard mmo quests/killing mobs. The only thing like that is guildleves so far. A campaign/besieged type thing would be what I am referring to. It can keep people busy forever. Maybe companies go this way.
3) Fix the abysmal targeting system. I've never played a game where I had any issues targeting. Here, while people stick up for it, at its best, it could be considered usable if you are a pro targetter..
4) Fix the clunky interface. FFXI was plagued by this too. Why is there a delay between moving items between yourself and your retainer? Why is there a delay after everything in the game? I have great ping and I never have had this issue in other MMOs
5) Integrate a voice function in the game. EQ2 has this, and it would be a great way to increase the social nature of the game. It is too hard to communicate in roving parties since there is no downtime (since you are always running).
6)Sales history for your own market retainer
7)Link sales history for your market retainer to your lodestone profile
8) Death penalty.. I couldn't care less if i die.. I don't even play with the slightest caution because it doesn't matter at all if i die.
9) Notate the + of items in the market ward system
10) lots and lots of new jobs! Of course, per item 1, they'd need to be unlocked. -
