Crossover possibility?

Ok so humor me on this. I know everyone and i mean EVERYONE has a "issue" with WoW whether you hate/love it but again humor me on this. What if WoW and ff14 did have a crossover. What would you want to have from WoW be it cosmetic, story, etc. i personally wouldn't mind seeing some of ilidians gear ie glaives. Or better yet what about if blizz decided they wanted to collab with SE and bring stuff from their other games like Diablo or Starcraft. i could def see us getting the angel wings.

I can see the rage,hate already...

I'd rather they didn't because 1. WOW lore doesn't interest me at all and 2. I still don't want wings as a thing characters can equip in FFXIV.

So no thanks. If they had this type of event I'd probably do it just for completion's sake.

The real question is, why would they?

not interested as well.. i can't imagine we have blizz designed character in ffxiv... sorry but their style is so different.
SQEX has a "pretty" atmosphere while WoW is not so pretty.
their weapons/gear designs are also quite different and i presonally like "pretty" things so i'll skip this for now :(

Keep WoW as far as possible from this game. This game already features from WoW. No more, thanks.

Monster Hunter Crossover > WoW Crossover

Sorry chief, never happen. Most of what SE does for FF14 makes sense lore wise and doing that wouldn't make any sense. I had my fun in WoW but I do not want to see the 2 of them associated in any way.

Has SE ever done crossover from IP they don't own?

I find the WoW hate pretty funny to be honest. Yoshida and Co use WoW as a design reference point and the game has a large number of WoW expats and current players playing it.

While I can't see exactly how they would pull it off, I certainly wouldn't say no to a murloc minion.

In the past? No idea. There are two coming up through that are not SE properties (PSO and the one that's going to give us the spiffy animal weapons).

From what I recall, in the past it's just been DQX, 2x FFXI, and FFXIII. Have they confirmed PSO, or is that just a "wait and see" type of thing?

Yeah, we haven't heard details of what we're getting yet so that could go south. Hopefully not though. I know that PSO got the Odin fight.

No thank you. If you want WoW items go play WoW and keep them away from FF. If they did start doing this then that may be the straw that stops me from playing anymore.

Crossovers are so bland, simple and boring that I would rather have no crossovers untill they can bring something like Phantasy Star online 2 brought. New trial, gear, mount etc., the trial could even stay forever and become a part of roulettes. Just don't give us 3 boring FATEs or daily quest grind. Untill then I vote no for any crossover, no matter if its FFXV or WoW.

Expecting a FFXV crossover for sure
If I was going to be wishful:
The Last Guardian: FFXIV mount, Yorda & Ico minion, FATES with the Colossi
Capcom Crossover: Akuma minion, Ryu outfit glamor
Sega Crossover: Eggman ship mount, Panzer Dragoon mount, Sonic minion, PSO weapons

I rather we have more Non-Final Fantasy games from Square Enix crossovers. I love to see Kingdom Hearts minions, keyblade weapons or outfits. If we did get a WoW crossover, then I would like to have a feral druid (cat form) as a mount.

Yes, they take some design elements from WoW. For me, that is more than enough.

As far as the people from WoW that come play this game? The more the merrier with one caveat. This is a Final Fantasy game, it is not WoW, accept that it is not WoW and never should be.

Oh, I almost forgot to vote. My vote is nothing from WoW please.

So this is a good example of what I was talking about. Why the derision? I don't play EVE or B&S or GW2 or Wildstar but I get why people do and can recognize when those games do something right. You guys act like WoW is some kind of disease when the reality is that all of these games have things in their DNA , mechanical - not lore, that would give you a better game experience.

My derision is simple. In both XI and XIV, I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that this feature or that feature or some other thing from WoW needs to be put into this game because without it the FF game is terrible and not worth playing. If I wanted to play WoW or experience its magnificence, I would play it. I am a Final Fantasy fan beyond anything else. Tell someone that something they love is crap or second to something else and you will see them develop a dislike of said thing.

I do dislike where they have taken the MMO market of late, not always, but it has grown over the last few years. The instant 100 being at the top of that list.

I am a long time Final Fantasy player, consoles and MMOs both. To me, the point of any Final Fantasy game is the story first, before anything else. That is why I played XI before and after the release of WoW, played both versions of this game instead of any other.

I cannot and will not say that I speak for everyone that has a dislike of WoW, just myself.

Real quick on topic before I continue derailment: I want to echo the kingdom hearts suggestion. Not the disney stuff because I suspect that they won't be able to get the rights to do it, but definitely some of the weapons and clothes.

and if they could get disney rights to things like Alice in Wonderland or TRON I would be a happy happy gamer.

So, here's the thing. You're not talking to a person who's saying that and I'm not going to apologize for those people. Just because some people are jerks doesn't mean that the game is awful. A portion of EVE's players are trolltastic, that doesn't mean that the sandbox elements of the game are terrible, just that those people are.

There are features of this game that I genuinely love. in fact, SE went to great measures to take the best bits to include in their games DNA. Thats a goodly part of why I'm playing this and not WoW right now. For me, it's a better fit.

The pet battle system? Not so much. The biggest thing I wish we could mirror from WoW right now is that, the next biggest is the variety of vanity toys.

I'm not going to justify that bit of corporate money making. Their game is on it's way down the ladder and they're grabbing at what they can. Why Yoshi made an off the cuff comment about doing that here is beyond me. If he has any sense he won't do it.

It's tribal. I get it.

My response wasn't directed at you personally. I was trying to answer your questions that you had asked earlier. It also seems that we partly agree so good for us. :)

No worries, i genuinely get it. Having someone trash talk a game you enjoy sucks. We had a lengthy chat with a guildie that came over from GW2 and wouldn't stop complaining. When we asked "why are you still playing?" his answer of "This game is better" caused us to facepalm.

Um no, I already dislike all these cross overs, but if we're going to have to have them, then lets keep it to Square Enix properties please.

They are competitors, I think the last thing they want to do is cross promote for each other.

To the people going on about lore... explain Yo-Kai Watch. Remember, this is going to be an event in the game.

People im asking about like armors and weapons and such. shoot even a fate or questline. yeah sure you don't want lore but you cant lie though, they have some of the coolest weapon designs. besides theres already ff in WoW. they have cloud and aerith in it. plus i was also asking whether if youd like to see some of Diablo's armors and weapons. also to the 1 person who said if i like wow so much, go play wow. i play both this game and wow. im a gamer, i play everything.

pso2 also getting full esp gear and weapons as well as the odin fight, looks really good actually

"You are not prepared!"

I love WoW but what would you have as a crossover? I guess Illidan is sort of in the same position Lightning was in before her third game, and Illidan is a warrior of light technically :). So I guess best bet is for a Legion crossover with Illidan glowering over us all lol.

^Illidan receives a blessing from the Elder Naaru in the novel before he was defeated by the champions of Azeroth ^^.

We are getting a WoW crossover - level jumping potions!

I understand the idea of the post. It is quite entertaining to watch everyone freak out about wow. I would love to see PVP as good as wow had back in BC. I would love to see a player driven economy as incredible as Eve's. These are not the things the OP is asking about though. He is asking about artwork, encounter design, lore possibilities, and other non gameplay affecting ideas.

Story wise I could see the Burning Legion attempting to recruit the demons that inhabit our world. I would love to see Felhounds and Doomgaurds tearing things up in Gridania and not to mention the Infernals that could rain down. There could also be some cool possibilities with the elemental lords. Ragnaros teaming up with Ifrit, Titan and Therazane, Al'Akir with Garuda. Those could be some really cool encounters. The Old Gods(which are not specific to wow) and Algalon the Observer could also make things interesting.

Some similarities that could be exploited are how close some classes are to each other. Obvious ones are warrior, paladin, ninja/rogue. Some of the others are Conjurer/Shaman, Summoner/Warlock, Black Mage/Mage, and White Mage/Priest. The druid class share some similarities to Conjurers, and Astros but that is a bit of a stretch. Mechanically the Hunter class shares things with both Archer and Mechanist.

Some gear I would like to see are the more unique weapons from wow. Thunderfury and Ashbringer would be awesome to have. Some of the lesser known ones that I think look really cool are Bulwark of Azzinoth, Apostle of Argus(and its PVP variant), Quel'Serrar, Zin'rokh Destroyer of Worlds(what DK wouldn't want that sword?), Timeslicer, and Terestian's Stranglestaff.

I assume many wow veterans would love to see a variant of their old tier 1-3 armor sets. The Paladin's Judgement set, the Warlock's Plagueheart set, and the Warrior's Wrath set are all pretty amazing looking.

Anyone could come up with a story for including these type of creatures and events. That's what these companies do, they make interactive stories. Would you really moan and complain if they made a good and enjoyable story just because it was World of Warcraft?
