FFXI-2

Supposedly FFXI was/is very successful as an MMO, it's good to try something different but seeing how one game actually worked out very well doesn't that say something? I say just make a FFXI-2. Different setting, similar battle system, I think the chat feature and party search worked just fine. Other minor details could be fine tuned or adjusted but why fix something that's not broken?

Worked in 2002

=/=

Works in 2011

This is the dumbest thing anyone could ever say. Just because something is functional doesn't mean it can't be done much better. This game needs to be better than XI, and that means doing things that "worked" differently. XI was no perfect game, in fact it was flawed to the core. There is so much to improve and change to create a better game it's a bit sad.

If you want a FFXI-2 go ask here:

Ask HD graphics, ask the game to migrate to PS3 and whatever else. IMO here is the land for those that already finished dealing with FFXI.

would you say ffxiv is better?

It's not better it trying to be something it not trying to be more of a wow game then anything. This is why FFXIV would fail they said that want final fantasy to be something away from other mmo so far it reminding me a lot like other mmo.

Auto attack
Dungeon/raids
! on NPC

even if this is to help casual don't even matter casual are not baby they just can't play long hours. even casual players try to get best item in game and want a fun hard game.

wow casual want everything handed to them even the players that no life it.

I don't know how FFXIV going to be later with any more mmo in the market blizzard new MMO would be out by the time FFXIV get it's first expansion pack. Even if FFXIV is not trying to be like wow it sure look like it i see when they add the new battle system and class system to see if i even should stay playing this mmo i hope that some of the stuff tanaka said would be added later to this game by yoshi-p.

I do! IMO FFXIV is better than FFXI in every aspect except amount of content. It just need a few more tweaks, just like FFXI also is still receiving even after 8 years.

IMO thats all it needs right now to be a good 'just released' MMO, Content; Dungeons, and Raids. which is all first on their list of things to add along with battle changes.

FFXI was garbage!

If you want to play FFXI, go play FFXI, how is that so hard?? Why would we need two of the same game??

Who said anything about playing ffxi? if you didn't read the first post it was about creating a different game but with similar'ish systems that work but improving on others that don't. That is not FFXI.

As far as how the game is doing, isn't the server populations or number or subscribers a hint as far as how much better FFXIV currently is? or isn't? I would not disagree many people like it otherwise there'd be no one playing it as we speak, but I do have to say the majority of people don't which is why many people left >.> if i'm wrong please do tell me which part it is that is wrong.

There are things that should be taken from XI (that have become staples of the MMO genre honestly) and there are some things that should be left in the past. There were some good ideas but there were equally awful ones too that I would love to see stay in XI.

FFXIV is its own game and people should treat it as such. You're not getting a new XI so please either like what we have/are getting or stop wasting your time and find something else.

I moved away from FFXI because I got tired of the system. FFXIV needs to be different.

You want ffxi then go play it. This game should be different.

FFXIV may need to be different but FFXI's basic good functions should be taken out of that game and should be in their new mmos, only improved everytime it appears again, other mmos do this. If the rumor about not having /sea all so that other gaming companies can't know the population of the servers is true, that is bull, i want search function /sea all, /sea all rank, /sea all class , this should be in the game.
