This was a dream I had awhile back that I posted in another forum online. A member suggested I post it here as well. Not sure if I'm posting in right section.
In Honor of Final Fantasy XI
Raid Options: 8-players/16-players/24-players
* Raid could be entered as a Premade or as part of standard Duty Finder
* Treasure was strictly glamour gear. Better resolution reskins of the iconic gear sets.
Raid started off in a room similar to Walk of Echoes with multiple Atomos options. Each Atomos represented a part of FFXI: Rise of the Zilart, Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, Wings of the Goddess, Seekers of Adoulin, Abyssea, Add-on Trilogy (A Crystalline Prophecy, A Moogle Kupo d’Etat, A Shantotto Ascension). Note: Rhapsodies of Vana’diel was not released yet when I had this dream.
Within each section there were three paths, one built for 8-players, one for 16-players, and one for 24-players. The more players needed the more difficult the fights and the larger treasure pool. This was done so that if players wanted to enter strictly as an 8-player group they could farm or 16-players or 24-players respectively.
Groups of 24-players for example, could either split into 3 groups going after 3 different areas. They could also split 16 and 8, or stay as a full 24 to tackle a path.
In my dream specifically:
Group A – Rise of the Zilart, Group B - Treasures of Aht Urhgan (My Group), Group C – Add-On Trilogy
My groups path lead to Hydra. In our fight we had an interesting mechanic. I forget what the move was called but I went from controlling my Hyur Bard to switching being in control of the Lalafell White Mage. It was programmed that if you had the job leveled, your hot keys were set to what they are as if you were on that job. If you did not have the job leveled it was as if the abilities were auto-filled in from leveling. A tribute to ‘knowing all jobs’ end game and being what was needed from the older days.
Group A beat their Shadow Lord and was rewarded old Dynamis gear. Group B’s pool had Salvage gear. Group C lost their fight. After winning the path the group proceeds to the final treasure room where duplicates of the gear earned from the groups individual pools are added to a main pool. Only groups that completed their paths get to lot in the final treasure room. This gave group members a second chance at the item their group earned and/or a chance to win an item from another group’s path. Each player was restricted to winning only one item per attempt at the raid.
Possible Raid Idea?

04-14-2017, 08:28 AMSaccharinI stopped reading here. I really did. Can people stop asking for FF14 to be FF11 reborn. They tried that and look what happened.Quote:

We already had an event in honor of ffxi. We got some sweet armour. No need for more than that. Lets give ffxiv more ffxiv related content instead of dwelling in the past.

Sorry if I'm rude. This is not FFXI-2, despite how much some people wants to turn this into FFXI. So, no FFXI if possible in this game.

04-14-2017, 08:59 AMMisterLucyShhh dont give them idea'sof making FFXi-2 -.-Quote:

Jesus H. Christ on wheat toast you guys
Calm the hell down. I thought it was an intriguing idea on its own merits. A fun side thing to do. I don't think OP means for this raid to overtake Interdimensional Rift or anything. -
04-14-2017, 09:29 AMEnkidohWe've actually had two, the first one celebrated FFXI's eleventh anniversary of service and featured Shantotto and a giant simulacrum of her that you had to fight in a FATE (with a Shantotto minion as the event reward), and the second event that you're referring to was celebrating the official completion of FFXI's storyline with the Rhapsodies of Vana'diel missions, and of course featured that mission line's main character Iroha (and the FATEs that were a part of the event all had some meta in-joke or reference to FFXI).Quote:

04-14-2017, 10:38 AMKos_MosI thank you for your kind reply. I am happy that you found my idea intriguing, it means a lot to me. ^_^Quote:

Forum Mods: If you think this will get out of hand please just close the thread, I don't want to cause trouble. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you. _(_ _)_ -

Remove the Gold Saucer, this isn't Final Fantasy VII-2, Remove Triple Triad this isn't Final Fantasy VIII-2, remove the warring triad this isn't Final Fantasy VI-2, Remove the upcoming ivalice raid, this isn't Final Fantasy Tactics. -
04-15-2017, 05:04 AMakaneakkiHmm, I know plenty of people who disliked FF7, 4-5-6 etc etc, even 12, the list is long. Should they gtfo, because they don't like these games? FF14 isn't all ''original'' as you or other on this thread think. Most of it is taken from older FF games. Heavensward mobs, certain models are taken from FFXI as well. Golden saucer? FF7, some friends of mine dislike that game, so I should tell them to leave the game becaue it's there? FF14 is far from Original. At least the reborn one ;).Quote:

I bet 10 bucks that next expansion will have a lot of old FF games ''content, elements etc'' in it too. Why? People want it and some people do want it simply because of the good old times, I guess we should bash them too huh? Yet you guys complain here about 1 little post the poor OP posted. Sad. -

Seriously, people need to chill. This idea could be fleshed out further. Maybe instead of just all FFXI bosses, it could include all final bosses from every Final Fantasy game. And I actually like the thought of getting some glamour gear based on older titles in ways other than veteran rewards or Gold Saucer. -

I love how some of this community in general is quick to welcome anything and everything from WoW, but mention FFXI and its pitch fork time. All I see is a lot of people who played FFXI and couldn't really get gear or do content complaining, so they don't want to see anything from FFXI.
I see this so much in FFXIV..people I knew from FFXI who back in the day couldn't even clear assault complaining about adding ANYTHING from FFXI. Good thing my FC is filled with people from FFXI who actually did end game (like myself) and can tell the difference between good and bad from FFXI..instead of shunning it at the mere mention of the game. Sure, XI had bad stuff but it also had good stuff! By no means am I saying this is true for everyone, just from what I have seen personally. Well anyway, this is why whenever someone says "but wow does this!" yeah well, my instant response is "This isn't WoW, its FFXIV" works both ways. -
04-15-2017, 11:49 AMLambdafishThey already did, it was called Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, it was really successfulQuote:

Let's get back to the topic guys. No point making almost the same post as the other one did too. Its alrdy got pointed out. Otw this thread won't even getting a feedback or whatever.

I will gladly accept concepts from other games. If the lich king showed up i would get pissed. Thats the difference.

04-16-2017, 01:42 PMYasuhiroThat's the funny thing I noticed about this fanbase on the NA side anywayQuote:

XIV players, you're hard to love, but you're harder to hate, never change.
Would rather that than 2 FFXIII sequels nobody asked for.Quote:

Not to mention all those XI glamour sets that'd have to be modeled and updated to be worn by XIV characters. Oh, and a system that allows the player to swap between characters (or maybe the OP simply means jobs? Even though that's impossible to do mid-combat, currently), as well as everything being balanced for 3 group sizes (8, 16 and 24).
This sounds like quite the effort just to honor another game in the series. -
04-18-2017, 11:57 AMYasuhiroI call it how I see it and I see a lot of salt from FFXIV players when they find out something is taken from something else.Quote:
