Something from FFXI I would like to see in FFXIV. Nyzul Isle

[Seraphi]

There is a lot from Final Fantasy 11 I would like to see in this game.

It's a real shame SE decided to use World of Warcraft instead of Final Fantasy 11 as its standard. Because I do think this would be a better game if it had chose to build and improve upon the latter.

It's not hard to understand why, especially when the main goal of bringing FFXIV back was to recoup the losses from the original release.

600k peak subscribers (FFXI) vs 12 million peak subscribers (WoW).

The landscape of MMO's has changed in the 12 years FFXI has been out. I loved FFXI back in the day, but there's no denying that it was a niche game for the extremely dedicated. In 2013, most gamers don't want games like that anymore, unfortunately.

That said, there's nothing saying SE can't implement fun and unique features FFXI had wrapped in the "WoW shell".

Somewhat, but not nearly the extent of Nyzul in XI (granted, Nyzul Isle come out almost 4-5 years after initial release IIRC).

But I would like someone to clarify, how does Crystal Tower relate to Nyzul in any way ? Im not trying to troll, I legitimately feel like I missed something

Nyzul Isle was one of the things I really enjoyed about XI, I am hoping CT is similar, but with the 24 man requirement I don't know how interested I am in it, I don't want it to go back to the days of Dynamis 24+ people and 2 pieces of gear...

This really isn't true. From what we have heard about CT/Coil they will be endgame raid tuned dungeons that will gain more content every other patch. There is nothing randomly generated about them and they both have a week long lockout.

By contrast, as described by the OP, this would be something we could do as frequently as we like, that would have random layouts generated each run. The rng alone would set it apart from anything currently in game and based on what we currently know, from BC and CT.

Does Crystal Tower have any relation to Nyzul Isle type content? Im not being a jerk, I'm genuinely asking. It doesn't seam to me that there is any relation, unless I missed something.

Should be similar to Final Fantasy III Crystal Tower which is the very last dungeon in the game.

Expect Cloud of Darkness, Amon, Gilgamesh, and more to be in it.

Which is great for a weekly raid, as BC is, but are we only supposed to play ffxiv one day a week?

I think as much as I would like to agree with this, and I kinda do, I don't know if Crystal Tower will be exactly as people wanting the return of Nyzul Isle to be.

I remember not running Nyzul Isle too much. Wasn't the gear it drops only second/third best to other gears you can acquire from lets say limbus/sea, camping?
