What features from Final Fantasy XI, would you like to see added to this game?

OK, since we're listing them.. Not all mine were in XI, but I'd still like to see them in XIV.

~Player/Linkshell Housing
~Linkshell interface improvements (if you need ideas, just look at WoW's guild interface)
~Skillchains and Magic Bursts (and some of the weapon skills from xi.. I still remember the first time I used Rampage)
~Transportation (airship, chocobo, roller blades... ANYTHING)
~Beast tribes, encampments etc (I finally saw a goblin, but still nothing like the beast encampments and stuff in xi)
~Random towns and villages in this huge world
~Winter zone (snow, cold, ice, castles and undead)
~Dungeons/Instances (if you need ideas, just play WoW, they got dungeons and instances right IMO).
~Pet class (ala summoner, beastmaster, dragoon... something with a pet)
~Thief/Rogue class
~Mail System
~Linkshell storage system (again, look at WoW's guild bank system, or Aion's)

I'm sure there is more, but I'm at work and coming up with this list off the top of my head..

Hate referencing other games and XI for suggestions, byt there are some things that they just
got right that are either poorly thought through or missing all together in XIV.

1- CHOCOBO/AIRSHIPS
2- Mog House
3- Mail System (i dont want to carry my friends items for days)
4- Search individual person for PT seeking.
5- BCNM,ENM,Assault,ZNM etc.
6- CS to sidequests ! (CS everywhere) Like in Crystal Bearer, once you enter an area/town you get a 10 sec CS that shows you few parts with the name of the map appearing in lower corner.
7- More Job Specipic gear
8- 1HR ability (2HR to long)
9- Small towns (Hamlet) with retainer bell, quests, shops (more life to them)
10- Immersion a la XI

I want to be the Hero, not my NPC, why is it him in most of the CS camera screen time? Why is it him that does all the talking ?
See you in few months

Please for the love of someone please put in seeking party icon and search features!:D

Theres alot of stuff that i wouldnt mind having in FFXVI thats in this forum but please dont add PvP as one of them, to me Final Fantasy is not a PvP game, if i want PvP ill stay with WoW or Aion

I'd love to see the Path Companion system to be expanded and converted into something similar (but better) than the FFXI follower system, as explained in depth in this thread:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/871-suggestion-Add-more-personalization-and-other-details-about-Path-Companions

rise a chocobo since small would be great. i wan my black chocobo back

Mog House is a must have in my eyes. Having personal space is always a necessary in any rpg.

Party Grinding was tedious but fun.

Chocobo riding may not be very useful in this game but I really want to see something happen with them.

Auto attack feature was best.

Difficult Content

Silly guy lol

-Party Flag/Player Search/Search Comments
-Mog House/Delivery Box
-Auction House(I'd be fine with the wards if they didn't crash every day and differentiated between +1's)
-Chocobos
-Airships
-Linkshell Messages
-Being able to see the location and rank of linkshell and friendlist members.
-Being able to invite people to party from the linkshell and friendlist.

* Being able to kick inactive players out of your ls (without having to be next to them...really SE?!)
* Point Allotment not taking 8 hrs to fully switch from DoW to DoM that really really blows
* Fatigue...need I say more?

Party seeking system in xi was awesome. Level sync maybe, auction house, and finally the chainskill/magic burst system from xi. They were all great.

I want to see:

Mog Houses (this would entail adding furniture etc)
Mail Boxes,
Chocobo's (working)
Airship (working)
Flashier skills, The current skill animations are BORING and DULL. ff11 had prettier skill and magic effects.
Real jobs
Dual job system like in 11. and Advanced jobs.
I do not like point allotment i did not sign up to play ragnarok online.
Weapon skill chain. (regimens dont work and are too cumbersome. Would rather remember the old elemental chart of what combo's with what.)
An AH.
I would like to be able to switch nations! Like in 11. Also Nation earned gear would be nice.
Distinction between Events. The bells get old. Do some actual event work.
More in depth storyline, I love FF for story. Otherwise its just another hack n slash but a slow one.
Better looking gear. (Bronze mail > iron mail > xxx mail) Really guys? Just a diff color?
There's more jut cant think of it atm.

I am in full support of my char and all that i possess being wiped if need be for job changes or a radical change to the game. It's boring as it is. I'd rather go back to playing FF11. classic classes are better thf pld, whm <- A REAL HEALER?!

-Delivery system for goods
-Food effects that actually matter
-Sidequests that actually matter and give you SP
-More guild related quests

Houses
FFXI party search
more maps

Well!
The normal classes of the series ..
in the same XI!
-White Mage
-Black Mage and the other!
pattern and some other items FFXI also like:
Chocobos creating among other things.
One thing is it would be cool .. Class XI have these as primary
and casual and botany classes, alchemist as second class
taking up to three option, example:
I'm white mage and alchemist as second class and botanist
and READY! nothing more.
as many classes as they choose and a half
confused. i think the game would be perfect! :)

- Unlockable classes
- More unique enviornments/zones (Thanalan desert zoning to The Black Shroud rainforest is ridiculous..there should be some kind of transition.)
- Mog House
- Fame
- Chocobos to ride and breed
- Airships
- /sea all function
- Mail box/Delivery function
- Beastmen

Party flag
Playonline Payment system "Allow us to pay you not a 3 company -.-"
I would not mind having playonline game at least it had a great log in and i could talk to friend while offline or join a chat and talk but if the website had this then nvm lol

Better login system maybe something that look like FFXI something cool

Fame
/sea all
mail box
More unique enviornments/zones

and 90% of everything else said by all you guys on here lol

There are quite a few things I would like to see

• Bring back the FFXI party search feature, the current one sucks so bad.
• Bring back being able to raise chocobo's and implement chocobo mounts in the game.
• Make it so not only does gear have a 5 lvl gap to be useful, but so people can only equip it 5 lvls from the gear's optimal rank.
• Allow us to kick people from a linkshell from anywhere.
• Bring back the auction house system and get rid of the market wards.
• Bring back the tradiitional class names.
• Bring back BARD!!!

Those are just a few things I would LOVE to see brought over to FFXIV.

- Skillchains + Magicburst
- Housing

-Chocobos
-Airship
-Aggro mobs when take the Limsa-Lominsa's boat. Like Selbina's boat.
-Seek party
-Fame
-Mog House
-Summons
-Linkshell Messages (/lsmes)
-Teleport as spell (not with animas), when chocobos and airships will be included.

Fame is something I definitely agree with. Would be nice to have an overarching reason for doing all these side quests, so that you can gain more advanced and interesting ones as you become more famous :D

(Don't add in quests that are repeatable turn ins to rack up fame though, those sucked. On the other hand, perhaps dont make getting fame quite as harsh as FFXI)

EDIT: Also, PLEASE don't bring back PlayOnline, it was the ultimate in tedium. Quite frankly I'm amazed anyone's suggested bringing it back, it made logging into FFXI so much more of a hassle.

Yeah... Part of the allure to the game, (or at least as it was advertised), was that they had turned FFXI into something that didn't take hours upon hours to complete a single goal. That's why I bought the game. I was hoping that it was true, and that it would be just as fun and magical as FFXI. Turns out I was wrong.

Can I get every single class from FFXI? Oh, and a battle system that doesn't have active/passive mode. Good animations for spells and abilities, and Main Job / Subjob combos.

Instead of making a new thread I'll reply to this. I was a very long time FFXI player. FFXI started my MMO life, it got me hooked, and though I did leave for other games it is and always has been my favorite MMO. I lost interest with the constant grind and constant need to group just for simple tasks like experience.

I had very high hopes for FFXIV, sadly I was let down. I think FFXIV has some great features, mostly the ability to somewhat solo. I haven't leveled very high at all but what I did get, I got alone. The graphics is amazing, though I would prefer the system of FFXI with each zone being separate from one another.

You ask what I would want from FFXI to be in FFXIV? Everything. I truly wish that SE would make FFXIV just an updated version of FFXI. There is only a few things I would not like from FFXI to be added. That would be the crafting system, way to tedious, annoying, rewards not worth the work most of the time, and just painfully hard to level up. Granted I think grouping is great, the constant need for it should come down a notch. I do believe it's possible to offer both options and that's something I would love to see.

As the OP listed, housing of some sort is just a FFXI trademark to me. Yea, other games have it, but who has it with a spinning moogle? And the number one thing that I would give life and limb for (yea, that's a little over board but I want to express how much I love it and want it back) is the job/sub-job system and all jobs on one character. That is ultimately my most favorite design from FFXI compared to any other MMO I've played and I've played alot.

I'd take my mnk/nin over Pugilist any day, my drg/war over Lancer. And for the love of god give me Samurai back! Corsair, bard, thief with SATA anyone? FFXI's job system is one of it's strongest features imo.

As much as I'd love to make a new post with listing every detail that I'd love to see from FFXI in FFXIV, I fear it would just cause a huge flame war. I am curious if anyone else agrees with me? I have several friends that I met on FFXI that I still talk to that agrees.

FFXIV meet FFXI {Yes, Please!}

-ls management (/lsmes + kicking offline ppl)
-transports (airships, choco's, OutPosts <3)
-being able to lfp
-DYNA!!!!

-emotes such as /stare and /slap

-delivery system

As soon as possible
Beastmen tribes
Story driven missions/quests
Delivery System

At any stage
Chocobo Breeding
Chocobo Digging
Player Housing (Mog House like)

i agree with the OP on the party seeking feature. The recruitment system we have right now is a joke, and goes pretty much unused due to it being so clunky to use.

Seeking party feature for sure the lfg in game atm is very lacking needs a complete ui overhaul and made more user friendly it practically needs to have a required reading technical manual to operate and is too one sided not everyone in the party can be the party leader so its not practical for everyone else to find parties without being the leader this doesnt make much sence but yeah.

There needs to auction house front end for retainers they need to be able to ferry your stuff to ah for you without being fixed in a specific ward but work if they are also..

Mail system of any kind
