XIV:ARR what SE could change to make the XI Playerbase more Happy

Before i start, this is a Thread about things i would change in XIV:ARR to make it feel more XI like, i dont say it has to be XI-HD but it should more unique and not a WoW-Clone.
All I am writing is my opinion and i am up for more Ideas if you have some.

It has nothing to do with Casual or Hardcore Players at all, every Point i am mention is just to keep us more busy and entertained.

If you are already a XI-Playerbase Hater, stop right here and leave this Thread.
Thank you.

Battlesystem:
.) Back to the 1.2x Battlesystem, Building up TP with Auto-Attack, using Combos or Weapon Skills with your TP.
.) Let us have Gearswitch System like XI
.) Give us more extra stats like: Haste, Store TP, Sometimes Hits Twice, sometimes Deals Double Damage, Additional Effect: Paralyze/Death/Silence/Slow, Enfeebling Magic, Dark Magic, Elemental Magic, Enhancing Magic, Healing Magic etc,........
.) Limit Break for every one in the Party and a unique T3 LB for every Job to start a „Skill Chain“

End/Content:
.) Open World Content
.) Gear which is worth to farm and not beeing useless after a half year
.) Trigger Spawn HNMs to kill as a Alliance (optional: Scaling down or up by number of PT/Alliance Members)
.) Dungeons "YES" but only as Party to Level UP and Endgame as big Event like Dynamis, Einherjar, Salvage, Limbus.
.) Fate Events like Bahamut/Odin they working correct but with Rewards they making it worth to hunt em (endgame equip)
.) Add Unique Abilitys to the Relic Weapons, and put in some more Gil sink/Farm[Rare/Exe] parts that let you work alot longer on that weapon.

Jobs & Others:
.) Delete the Ilevel System
.) More Weapon Choices
.) Supporter Roles like the BRD we had in XI (i heard some PPL Enjoyed this class in XI)


Longer lasting Endgame Content
Longer lasting and More Endgame Equip for one Class/Job
Due Open World Content, No limitation on Members you can take with you = No Main Statics anymore the Whole LS/FC can do Events all day long (farming triggers etc)


Likes are Welcome :D

This is what immediately came to my mind too lol

Telling us you want these things without considering some of the issues involved in adding this stuff isn't going to get much support.

For example, things like haste will definitely benefit some classes greatly over others. You would need to draw it out, who is over benefiting, just getting the right amount and those classes who see no apparent differences with just that stat.

Otherwise, wishlists...really are just wishlists.

Is beyond my reasoning because a game should become another game to appeal players of a different game. Is too much asking FFXIV to be his own game ?

1) Gear Switching can't stay far enough away from XIV. My inventory's filling up enough as it is.

2) Bard is fine where it is now. I can do without a class that has no way to defend oneself.

3) None of those stats are essential to the game and can only lead to more wannabe elitists.

I think people that have come to XIV from XI fail to realize is that with the relaunch of this game, we are basically at the phase that XI was at pre-"Rise of the Zilart". XIV will develop more in depth in game content as it moves forward. You can't expect it all within 3 months or even a year from the launch date.

BTW, iLvl exists in XI and gear is currently being outclassed every 3-4 months in that game as well.

Especially a niche game at that. There's been ton of threads like this through out beta. They haven't made an impact so this one won't as well.

Most popular thread was to bring back NMs, that hasn't happened.

Since Haste would be a Part of TP Building System it would only benefit the Classes they using TP, Mage classes wont benefit from such things, but still can have "fast Cast" aka "Spell Speed" and it would only a Question of Balancing SE has to fix like in every other MMORPGs. While Spell Speed is still in use, there is no Need for Skill Speed anymore and would be replaced with that. [as example]
