Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[LiadansWhisper]

You suck, FFXI was awesome and so was 1.0 screw this WoW clone BS, I'm tired of WoW players wrecking our Final Fantasy MMO

So...1.0 being awesome is why it tanked, right?

TO the OP, look your fighting a battle that we are unfortunately out numbered by now, I made a topic in the beta phases with the exact same title that hit massive numbers and reached the front page but the problem here is the real fans have mostly been pushed away or ignored and SE's loyalty has been migrated towards new fans who enjoy bad titles like FF13 and now this extreamly tamed FF14...

I actually don't like FFXIII. Never had any desire to play it. But I do like FFXIV. The way it is.

It's a huge shame they didn't just add more to 1.0 and improve on that model it had alot more potential than ARR, it's an even bigger shame they didn't just revamp FFXI.

You can still play FFXI. I mean, if you think it's that much better. Nothing's stopping you.

They didn't just "add more to 1.0" because the game completely tanked. Whereas FFXIV has actually put SE in the black.

Can't imagine why that might be.

------------

The reason people liked and played Final Fantasy as an MMO and not just as a console game was because Final Fantasy as an MMO was created completely different to other MMO's from the inside out, the fact that it's become just another generic same old same old MMO has taken away most of it's potential as an original franchise.

So all the people currently playing the game are just...crazy? Stupid? Not as cool as you?

Gamers like me who played and enjoyed both FFXI and FFXIV 1.0 played them and loved them because they had something different to offer us than other games, now that Final Fantasy ARR doesn't really offer much different to other MMO's it's kind of lost a huge chunk of it's over all potential.

well, it would seem that "gamers like you" are outnumbered by gamers like me. I very much like FFXIV the way it is - it's refreshing. I enjoy playing it the way it is. I never once felt even the remotest desire to play FFXI, and I would quit this game if it became an XI clone.
